late model one as well. soneone was being a goose by the look of it.

funny how many of these I'm seeing pop up at the local salvage auctions. kids seem to get them and think they can drive flat out and sideways - not so.

It says "Vehicle has been REPORTED". rolleyes.gif

reported over here usually means it's Stolen hence the referance. For a car like that to be abandoned after a crash it can be one of only two things, stolen and abandoned or the owner was over the limit and has done a runner.

LOL I didn't mean it in the literal sense. But yes as Mark said, reported out here usually implies a stolen or abandoned car (highly doubt a car like that would be abandoned...)

from what I know the REPORTED sticker is placed on cars that have been (REPORTED) i.e. a crash and left at the scene, stolen and dumped and someone called the cops. The cops come see it take notes and maybe pictures and will place a Reported sticker on so that they don’t get 200 calls from random residents that just spotted it hours later wasting time on the emergency lines that can be used for real emergencies

it can be from either a crash and dash, not insured or cannot afford to have it towed and leaves it parked there, multiple reasons, as for the P plater comment that they can’t drive, if you look at the death rate in NSW at leased from negligent driving or speed caused accidents the majority is caused or involves 30- 49 year old males

it seems more and more predominant that men in the mid life crisis kill themselves. and NO I’m not on my P's if your thinking that. just don’t like P plate bashing.

Hi Alex, sorry if my post looks like talking down on P-platers.

I only meant some (Really really bad ones) that drive well above speed limit with loud music on, overtaking everyone they can overtake, etc. Maybe they are in a hurry for something, I don't know. I might also add I encountered more girls than guys too.

Anyhow, I got nothing against P-platers (So far as no one has caused me any problems...yet). :)

Pretty sure it's Write off alright. The rear Chassis is bent, probably broken rear axle too. new wheels, New Rear Fender, new rear bumper, Back window, Taillights, boot. Been there done that on the Track with similar damage with tyre wall but not as bad as this one.

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out

      OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
