Hi all.

As per the other EOI thread, I'm starting a new thread now that we have a finalised date.

The next SA Stagea cruise will be Sunday March 25, starting at about 10am from a central meeting point. It will be made up of some fun, twisty roads, and we'll stop somewhere for a bakery lunch.

Cruise is Stagea only, C34s and M35s all welcome. Be good to get a decent crowd.

So far I think I have the following people interested:

Midnight-Runner + 1

Marshstag

ducati02

JZZ20

Glitch

2000 RS

Big Fella

import_zone

hks33

OLDS

sr_1600

MOUTH

stagea LEI

Rylan182

Ezekiel86

Be good to get a few more M35s, try and get some even numbers.

Feel free to invite other Stagea owners you know, including those that aren't on the forums or don't check very often.

Please confirm in this thread if you want to come, so I can PM you the meet point info when the time comes.

Stagea only counts me out this time. could have bought the rx4 out lol brap brap . Ah well the stag beast will be up and running soon enough with a few extra supprises ( maybe tow bar neon under lights speed alert you know stuff like that lol) have a good cruise chaps

Maybe I did that to keep you in the shed finishing the Stag Jase? :whistling:

I think there are a couple of people coming to the meet point who don't have Stags if you're keen.

Adam - yes you can bring your 260RS, still a Stagea anyway!

Mat - sounds great, the more the merrier!

Well ill probs come to the meet point for a look and say gday to every one . then ill take my sad sack self home again to work on the old unicorn bit#%. really need to finish it got other projects to do

Just got word that mine will be on its way to Australia this weekend, not sure yet of the exact details. Hopefully Customs and Compliance dont take too long and I should have something to bring along banana.gif

If it's not, you can jump in my car. All good! Worth going for a ride in another car at some point, give you an idea of differences.

Thanks for the offer Ryan, hopefully I wont have to take you up on that :thumbsup:

Any ideas how long it takes the boat to get from Japan to here? I've tried to find some estimates online but was unsuccessful

Mine took around 3 weeks. Then customs clearance and transport to the workshop.

Hmm.. if thats the case then perhaps I will need to take Ryan up on his offer. We'll see what happens, though, as I've been advised that some Reno's could be taking place around that time. :ph34r:

    • 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)
