And Ruby...What happened to Delamere Rd, i think somone might have taken the wrong exit at the roundabout.

It was still a good run bu that Inman Valley road is rough as hell.

I had indeed taken the wrong turn at the roundabout. Was hoping no one noticed and I got away with it :rolleyes: Was an okay run except for that idiot Camry driver.

cheers for the cruise guys was good to meet some of the crew and yeah it would be good to to have another one soon like ruby said today maybe a night time one see if we can get few more ppl out

and big fella your car looks so sweet on the road, are little girl was getting a bit cranky towards the end to but thankfully she decided to go back to sleep feeding those seagulls must have worn her out :blink:

cheers Rose and jase

Thanks for tagging along guys. I'm keen to get a night cruise happening soon and we'll hit up the Lobethal christmas lights. I'm sure the kids would love that. :P

Lobethal sounds great - hopefully the family will be over their colds so I wont miss it like I did this one.

Deep in exam study I missed this :S

Time for a victor cruise I think with a stop at whalers like the good old days ;-)

true that!....

what happened to the good old days!

tangles... where are u!

We (that's me and the dog) missed this one, but I saw big Fella heading north on south road sunday morning.

Keen for a lights cruise.

I swear i'm blind, didn't even see ya. Must have been in morning mode, i'm an arvo shift worker,

so anything before 11am and i'm a zombie, until we get to some hills that is! :D

Last weekend's cruise WAS a victor cruise. :D We only went to the Whalers once (2 years ago), and the prices on the menu caught a few peeps out. This time we just ate at good old KFC. Parked at the shopping centre and gave people a choice on where to get food from. Less $ in ya belly and more $ in ya fuel tank = more cruising.

Next cruise will be a night cruise to see the Lobethal lights. I'll work out a date, but may be early December on a Friday night.

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • 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.....
    • 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)
