Only 2 weeks until a little slice of Deutschland lands in the Adelaide Parklands.

So make sure you keep the date free for the annual SAU meet up / drinks in a tent on the 14th of January from 12pm

Will be using this as practice for Oktoberfest

:cheers:

FYI NOT AN OFFICIAL SAU EVENT, JUST SOMETHING NIGHTCRAWLER, MATT-R, CUBES AND I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS

Yep, I am down like a clown for this as per usual!

Anyone who does not enjoy drinking, shooting, gawking at hot chicks, eating insane amounts of food and talking shit about cars for a whole day should NOT attend this event. For everyone else there is NO excuse!

my levels of eating and drinking will be limited financially as my 4 week Eurotrip has kind of expanded to 2 months... and a week or 2 stop over in the US on the way home isn't out of the question yet :whistling:

I'm sure we'll be sporting our club shirts, to make it easier for you ... or just look for the roudy idiots :P

I would look for the SAU shirts otherwise they will need to sit at every table if they are going by the rowdy idiots.

Yep I plan on wearing my SAU club shirt.

So, my big plan is:

- Arrive at 11:30am or so (gates open at 12pm) .... history shows I am always late, and Whiplash saves a place in line for me - but since he is giving me a lift this year I will most likely be on time :) ... if anyone is keen on coming early (before 12pm) to help us save max tables and chairs once we get in, we will enter via the Coopers Gate, which is off West Tce.

- As soon as you enter go get an ID wristband from Tent 1.

- Then go get a Stein from tent 30.

- Go get a green or red apple cider from Tent 19 and a serve of Salt'n'Pepper squid from Squid inc. Tent 23.

- We will be sitting near the centre of the Jagermaeister shelter, which is tent 46 once you get a program, or if you download it Here (click) - I like tent 46 as it has good access to all of the facilities and a decent view to the spray tent :) - forecast of 28 is letting us down a tad at this stage, but let's hope it comes through warmer than that.

- Profit.

Let's hope the Jagermeister tent is host to these lovelies again this year. And the Jagermeister slushies last year were freaking awesome!

    • 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)
