I know its a long shot but does anyone have a long drill bit/drill bit extension so I can drill down from my ceiling down the wall cavity through the timber studs so I can feed some wires through without having to cut the shit out of my walls. Would need to be about 1 to 1.2m long

trade tools direct have 2metre long ajustable drill bits for like $199 i reckn they were but if u do whative done just get a spade bit and a piece of threaded rod and weld it on the end and then shape the end for the drill bit all bits at bunnos for less than $50

if u really need i can hook u up with mine :thumbsup:

Working at a house (being reno'd). Got talking about cars to the tradies. Tradies say dude who owns this house just sold a couple year old gun metal grey GTR and got a newer one and the brakes are huge.

I ask if the plates are GUN 350 and they're like "How the hell do you know"...small world.

So you're doing some stuff at Walkerville .... I haven't been down there to check it out for a few weeks, but last I heard from John it is coming along very nicely. And would you mean this new R35 (with my wife and child in it)? :)

But have you seen the new Land Rover? :D :D :D Porn, I reckon!

I was going to buy my own but for a use once application I couldn't justify it. I was gonna go down the built my own route if no one had anything available but looks like I'm in the clear now!

And Steve, just doing a bit of cable management and running another powerpoint behind the TV

Give me a ring I have a few spade drills with extensions for going down the wall

Yeah did some gutter guard around the back verandah, where the verandah meets the house itself. Tell John if he wants the whole house done (which he should as they are chockers with leaves), get in contact with me. Looks like a damn nice house. How far off have they said from occupancy?

Didnt see any of the cars. Just one of the guys said enough for me to figure out who it was. He was memerized by the "big brakes"

    • 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)
