went for a lil drive to kill time and boredom just now..

Few nice cars out tonite

blue 32 with white rims parked just off end of anzac highway near glenelg, then black 32 with chromies on jetty road, and last one saw on marion road, white 32 with either BN or Vertex kit, really low, anyone off here? Looked awesome!

yeah I miss it Luke, but the R34 is nearly as quick and much easier/more pleasant/more comfortable to drive!! I put a double DIN DVD player in it recently and love mobile TV and movies!

yeah he drove it like he stole it e from the moment he first sat in it - even on the test drive (much to my disgust). I spotted it parked in Ingle Farm a few weeks back. I had been told it was written off but seems that was a rumour. I take it when you saw it Joel it didn't have my PCOTY plates on it anymore - he never came to get the transfer agreement from me.

Thats right.. No PCOTY plates.

I had issues when I sold my VS 5speed 5ltr. I had nothing but young kids wanting to test drive. I ended up saying lay a deposit for a test drive; if it drives bad or what ever which it doesn't you can have your deposit back. No one was keen apart from an older couple that bought it anyway. I really got sick of time wasters when trying to sell that car.

lol Andrew and the R34 is more pimp'd

just went to the plaza @ 7:30 saw a R34 4door @ st agnes then a R33 gun metal grey @ the underground carpark near woolworths then when leaving a black R34 when leaving

Spottet Miss Heslo today (I keep following your car)

Followed her along Grand Junction Rd, Main North East Rd - where she stalled it taking off with a nice new porche opposite TTPlus - then down Golden Grove and onto Grenfell. (she didnt play guitar on the sun roof however)

Hahahaha!!! :D Yeah, that's the missus, would have been on her way to my place, gave her the car for the day and she stalls it! Gonna give her so much shit :(

Oh, and she hasn't been taught in the ways of the sun roof guitar yet, that's for the pro's ;)

Spotted red RBB033 with duckwing yesterday after work at Gilles St..live nearby as well! .. nice clean ride :(

Yes Yes that'd be me :D So you live near me or you live near Gillies St? Were you in a Line or walking?

Oh and i saw Mike's old car at the little BP on Goody Rd about 8pm last night! Still looking the goods!

I live at Gilles St..was driving my Line behind you on Pulteney as u turned into Gilles St and then u turned left after..and always see VANGE parked along the roadside where u turn left..

Ahhhh yes now i know where yuor talking about, I was going around the block to get a park on Pulteney(where i normally park outside my mates office) and yeh i have also sseen Vange parked on Gillies! If i remember i had to message him one day because he left his lights on..... :(

got a wave from a dude in a clean R33 4 door at the bottom end of morphett road this arvo, his car was pullin out of D.L. Thomas removals. Nice lookin meshy rims too........always have had a soft spot for meshies (mmmmm thinks what my car would look like with SSR Reverse Meshies on it..........mmmm 15x9 :))

Spotted this lovely piece of Italian machinery at a place I valued in the Eastern suburbs today ..... mmmm 400i - old school classic ..... 5L flat 12 and it sounded sweet as!

haha GM trimatic 3-speed auto... the pinnacle of italian motoring :laughing-smiley-014:

Hi Matty, that'd be me you saw! They're a customer of ours and I just leaving there when you flashed your number plate at me going sideways down the road!! ;) My car is so grubby at the moment I was suprised you could see the rims at all. They do scrub up nicely though.....18" Zepter Mesh with a bit of dish.

I kind of had to do a double take initially because your sig shows the car with silver rims, not the broze jobbies you had on there today. Car looks great by the way.

I keep reading that a bunch of you guys work in the area but I never get to see any of you (you're all probably hard at work when I'm in the area).

No doubt I'll catch you around..... everyone else seems to! Cheers, Mike :)

    • 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)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
