You beauty!!

A nice alive forum with plenty of talk and opinions.

I didnt know about the difference (apart from cosmetic) between the R32-34.

I have always loved the older shape of the 32 and always wanted one.

I definaly will come around to a club night and the skid pan saounds awesome!

Thanks for the feedback.

As for the $20 it was a token figure. I was really hoping to come round someones house and drool over there car without having a sales person try to sell it to me.

A club day would fit the bill perfect

if u get a R32 you will be pulled over more than if you owned say R34

true story

me and my mates crusing to one of the meet ups (2) R34's (1) R33 (1) R32

who gets pulled over? the R32 lol

reason from cops mouth: people buy R32's cos they cheap and they mod them and thrash them, the R33 and the R34's are less likley to be moded heaps

ive owned my 32GTR for almost 5 years now and ive been pulled over a whole of 4 times. 2 random checks. 1 roadworthy. 1 speeding fine.

Drive stupidly and you will be pulled over. it doesnt matter what you drive.

were those 2 random checks really random?...lol

agreed, drive sensibly and you will be ok....most of the time =)

2 random checks as in checked my tread and looked at the motor. 1 of those checks was from Graeme from this forum and his reasoning is cos its a skyline. he had a good chat to me and was genuinely nice. talked about his car as well.

True to a point. But if we are talking about who is more likely to be pulled over if you are both driving the same with say a Skyline vs Camry.. I think we all know the answer :D

come up to a DECA event and you can ride around the skidpan in HEAPS of modded skylines...

as long as you bring a helmet :cool:

^^^Dont do this. You'll drive straight back to Melbourne and buy one after a ride in a quick one around the backtrack :verymad:

Yeah true but thats a different point to what i was making. Im talking about sports car vs sports car such as 32 vs 33 vs 34 vs s15 etc etc. not a daily compared to a high performance vehicle.

A good point here, a cop had a choice of pulling over me in my R32GTR or the VT commodore sitting next to me. The cop chose the VT. Why? because i drove off from the lights sedately where as the VT being the hero he is left a massive burnout and easliy hit 100km'h in the 80.

Which takes me back to where i began. drive within the law and they will leave you alone. Break the law and you will get pulled over.

The people who say drive within the law and you'll be fine have clearly never felt the awful experience of being pulled over when you were driving within the law, and more sedately than the people around you...giving you an instant feeling of "WTF did I do?". Take for example operation pipedown where standard vehicles were getting reported for EPA testing, not just loud. I went 12 months without getting pulled over once, would even drive up alongside police cars without a hassle. Wondered what everyone was whinging about with police and imports, but then one day my perception changed with good reason...

Gotta agree with birds there.

I have copped 2 defect in 3 months, and one full EPa emssions test. Each time doing nothing wrong. the EPA well yea i cop that on the chin my car was loud (all fixed now)

The defects were a rip. tyres and exhaust for the first.

The second was for my wiper washes one of the four was not pointing straight. And my hand brake had one too many clicks, and to make it an Major full RWC needed he said my brake pedal didnt have enough rubber on it....WTF?

The officer was looking at my car for nearly 20mins, and that is all he could get me on. So that says to me he was gunna get me no matter what.

But there is nothing more true than drive like a flog and you will get pulled over. What kills me is we get singled out and painted with tha same brush.

My trust in Police has diminished somewhat over the last few months.

Anyway........34 GTR.

Thanks everyone!

Thats awesome.

I cant believe the cops nabbing you for wiper blades not straight and rebber worn on the brake pedal.....

Extermon8or thats a golden pic!

Whats the go if your pulled over for a mechanical or an EPA test and you got an aftermarket computer, a non standard turbo and a few of the other comon go fast mods onboard?

Are you flogged?

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
