wollombi worth it? just looking on google maps, is the great north road / george downes drive a good track? or is it a rubbish back road full of pot holes ?

There's a few small rough bits but 90% of it is pretty sweet.

And yeah the pub is a good'n.

hi guy is there anything like these in sydney area???

NSCC and All about stance meet at St Ives on a Wednesday evening. More of a meet and chat rather than a cruise though

...or you could also check the Events section here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/33-events/

As for you Coastie/Newie peoples asking for someone to put a cruise on, there's nothing stopping any of YOU from organising one. The main thing to remember, however, is that you DO NOT act like idiots on the road or in any public areas.

just a heads up if anyone wants to come out 2moro night, i just bought my first skyline and will be heading out with mates for a cruise, nothing big just meeting at tuggerah maccas and cruising to mingara, meeting at tuggerah at 8pm thurs night. i will be in silver R33 gtst. come say hi!

to be honest, i wouldn't advise cruising around this long weekend, if you have any aftermarket (illegal pod filter lol) bits on your car or a slightly loud exhaust,. ironicly as i was typing this some dickhead in a harley just drove past with an exhaust so loud it shook the house, wonder why they don't get pulled over...glare.gif

... anyway point is don't risk it.

there are things to be scared of, mobile RTB's with engine inspections,

just look at the melb boys who were crusing NOT speeding, all got pulled over and slapped with EPA notices.

Who were cruising above the speed limit... ;)

The big thing to remember if you do organise one of these, unlike SAU:NSW cruises, you are NOT covered by public liability insurance.

lmao you guys crack me up!! for starters my 33 gtst is stock as a rock lol so there is nothing to defect,

and about the public liability thing?? it was just your basic thurs night meet up, we do it every thurs lol, im usually in my other car but that night as i was going in my skyline i thought id open it up for random skylines to come too..

are there any central coast skyline owners in this thread that go out on thurs nights? i usually see a groupe of like 10 or more at gossy maccas..?

There is a meet up at fountain plaza Erina every thursday night for skyline owners on the central coast but generaly any import owner or enthusiast is welcome to come down. I've only been going the last couple of weeks and everyone seems to be nice and friendly

where do u guys go from erina? shit thing thats the other side of the coast for me... i usally just do the mingas meet.

Other side of the coast??? Dude, you're soft! :P

A bunch of us (including myself) regulary come up from Sydney for the meet at Fountain Plaza. :D I still turned up this week even AFTER copping a blown tyre on the F3 on the way up.

Speaking of which, MAJOR thanks to all who offered to help with getting a spare wheel for me so I could get home - the space-saver was creating major issues with the ATTESA system, and the car was getting the shakes even at 40-60km/h. :cheers::thumbsup::cheers:

    • 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.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • 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.
