Just wondering, who here is aiming to attend this event?

Open to all vintages - Is a SAU group attending? Sorry haven't been on for a while.........

For the record, I'm attending in the (r34's old) DR30 (my HR31 is no go just yet).

Cheers,

Mike.

Hey Mike,

Thought you might have been at Hanging Rock on Sunday - it was a great day!

I'll be at Dandy showgrounds - and am taking a couple of cars. We should have around 15 Prince's there all up - 1 of each model GT, Gloria Wagon, Gloria Sedan, Prince Skyline 1500 Estate, KGC10 GT-R Replica (although it is staying on the back of the truck) and the only 1st gen Skyline.

Should be a great day!!! Hope the weather holds up!!!!

See you & Julie there :thumbsup:

Hey Jason,

Ahhh there's nothing like a couple of good Princes on show...... Spot on.

Yeah sorry we didn't turn up, we've done H/Rock the last few years and decided on a break this time round. How'd the Roo Stampede go?

Mike.

howdo,

You're keeeen, excellent. The DR count may have just increased! I think I read you're running down with r31club - feel free to join us -ndsoc if that's not the case. Sure Jason can fill you in on the details.

Yes I've been copping a bit of sh#t for not attending H.R. I guess I got to the stage where the amount of Mustangs in my diet caught up with me, needed a year off to help with digestion!

RE: the rock and mustangs,

yeah I feel your pain, but tehers heaps of the cool things there!

Its abit of a tradition I go down there now, the old man has a few toys.

Wasnt really going to cruise down with the R31 guys, just a solo cruise down.

Should try get the R30's together again.

And woot, Im now on club rego :devil:

NDSOC are meeting at Keysborough Macca's for a 9am departure. Prince guys will be there earlier to set up and unload a couple of trailers......

CSA also have a good number going....

Should be a big day!!

Im a maybe now, unless I can get a new reinforced sump on the fj,

copped a good hit in the hills and got some oil pump whine :yucky:

I did this the oil pressure stayed a little lower too. i beat it back out (space for the pickup..causes noise/starvation) i braced mine with checker plate!

it was not overly hard in the end

Marc,

its a straightfoward job, have a welder, would rather get another sump preped for a quick swap as i cant have the car out of action.

thanks for the offer cazz, but would to like to buy one :)

I might take it as is, and plan the route there avoiding shitty roads.

Looking like a good r30 turnout :cheers:

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
