they usually send a meat truck to someone that has died not ambulances

i will be finding out a little more information about that XR6t that crashed yesterday as one of my mates mum was Head officer @ the scene

EDIT

found this on News.com.au

News Source

I've never seen a meat truck. :S

When there was the multiple fatality down here on South road where a motor bike cleaned up some one crossing the road and then a following car cleaned up the motor bike 2 ambulances came and carted them both away.

I was putting petrol just after the police turned up, the police instantly put sheets over the people laying on the ground.

Was pretty nasty. :S

Saw a greyish GTS coupe with decent-sized FMIC, parked outside the Mackenzie Hillebrand warehouse at Outer Harbour, and a few minutes later driving out onto Victoria Road, late morning I think. Had an SAU sticker.

Hey Stang,

I work down at Mackenzie Hillebrand and i know the car you are talking about.

There are quite a few imports down this way since i started to bring my 34 down here occasionally.

Do you work down here as well?

Not really, I do some work for a truck magazine though, so I am in the area from time to time for photos.

^^^ By any chance the no. plates SKY *** ? If it was, yes she is :thumbsup:

hmm didnt get a chance to see the plates, but it had i think a 400r bar and a different add on rear bar lol it was early morning ok its hard to see lol

Spotted today at around 12:45pm, white R33 GTR parked at Hindmarsh square on the south east corner near adelaide bank. BIG offset gold rims with polished lip, looked a little dirty, but good all the same :P

Also, spotted Black 33 with GTR wing and skirts this morning. Can't remember where but in the city somewhere.

Spotted HESLO on West trc this afternoon, followed him down North Trc, (saw u use the wind deflector of your sun roof as a guitar LOL)Melbourne St and North East Rd (bad choice the right lane near ABC, the left lane is quicker) and on to Gillies Planes (drove behind, alongside and infront, waved but the 2 of you were just chatting away) LOL

PS I was in the marone 3L turbo

Bwahaha, you were following me for AGES then! Was on my way back home from Cape Jervis, that's what it looked like a disgrace all messy like :) If I had seen you I would have said hey but I guess I was in my own world. And :unsure: about the wind deflector, I thought I was the only one who knew what I was doing! Trying to think what car you were in though, was it a 3L 'line?

Saw some guy on Anzacs near South Rd in a Black 33, Gave me the old nod, and i nodded back.......Good work! Car looked the goods, Not sure if your on here, thought you might be because of the nod thingo, or have i stummbled across a non SAUer that is keen on the "G'Day mate" thing!

Also spoke to a guy at the car wash this arvo on Henly Bch Rd, he was in his daily but said he had a 32 GTR, So i told him to get on here and see what the hype is about.......LOL

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
