Slightly off topic but there is a kid with a 450rwkw R33 GTST with rb26 single turbo driving it around on P-plates in Newcastle.

I have an S15 Spec S (which I cant drive yet cause of turbo) but would be cool to organise an SAU Newcastle meetup for a cruise.

33 owners just look at u funny when u wave at them. 34 drivers are much more friendly.

Since we're short on 34gtr owners, a general 34 owners cruise maybe more suitable...I remember there was one a few years ago to foster along the lakes way.

Matt, I know how u feel bout the car...mines missing an engine and gearbox atm.

Oh wow, the wait is killing me... Hope you get yours sorted... I will have updates in my build thread on Tuesday to let you guys know where I get too..... Can't wait to get SAU NEWCASTLE happening guys :D

A 34 cruise would be awesome, they are a great looking car! But in saying that, a general import cruise will be good for the Newy scene too...

The engine is at red r racing and The dirt man himself is on the case - I have upmost confidence in him.

I'll look out for the update

34s ftw

Don't know anyone else

Yeah see a lot around but probably not on the forum

A cruise through Cessnock to broke, Millbrodale then singleton for lunch and to branxton the back way would be good

Or Wollombi and back via the mountain and the F3 would be good I reckon

Yeah probably

I'm to old to hang with the young kids

Come on, it will be fun, plus we need 'responsible' mature adults to make us look respectable lol. (Also, you have that black Tommy K 34GTT right?)

i think 90% of the 34s i see are NAs.. well have P plates.

i dont care where we go but preferable not 100000000000000000 kms, that odo is getting way to high for my liking hah.

you sound like me lol. Are your kms geniune?

Was thinking of organizing a wollombi run, never been out there, but some of the roads out there look like fun

i havnt been out there either, it could be interesting. If the cars finished or not on a truck to Perth (mooving soon), i'm in. Otherwise i might have to hitch a ride or bring something considerable slower along. lol

I'm 21 so I won't be helping the image haha. Although my car is fresh as fck so cops will be more miring then hating :)

It has 117000kms and to lookat it I'd say it has 50,000. It's in the same nick then my new tiida I got 06 model with 57000kms on it

And I got it stock as a rock with original untouched wiring of cd player and speakers and exhaust bolts hadn't been touched. So heaps happy with it :) except that f**king number sigh...

Will be looking to gtr in years to come and that number is gunna make it difficult because of stupid people hah

10000045000??? That's a tough car!!! ;)

Smarta$$ :rofl2:

The truck I drive is just over 12 mths old and has 74 000 klms

Does that count?

Haha, sort of.... One of our work cars is 2 years old and is just over 200,000 NOT bad for a kia diesal.... Has done wheel bearings and diff bearings but otherwise all good....

My poor 34 has done many K's but if i keep replacing parts ill get back too 0km soon enough :w00t:

    • 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)
