spot BLKSKY sometimes in the morning around 8 on south road/richmond road intersection.

My usual route to work... :teehee: were you in a black 33 ?? a few skylines use that route as well to work i suppose during that particular hour. And if you see me boosting like nuts, that means i'm late to work!!! HAhahahaha

Hi Nick and all you guys and girls out there

I'm new to this site and this is my very first post.

That was my R34 GT-R 'V Spec' that you saw near Pasadena.

I flew to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and bought it then drove it back.

Tein suspension so I felt every stone I drove over but what a head rush whenever I had to overtake someone on those big freeways.

You'll probably see it around alot more now with the NSW plates until I can get it through inspection.

Cheers Pete

No car spotting but person spotting here, a couple of SAUers at the Classics Street Party on Fri night!! Saw Tim rocking it around while i was walking and also Simon and his missus were checking out the 2 Rx7's out the front of Hogs Breath!! I was out the front getting rowdy at Hogs Breath, got a killa table booked out the front with buckets of TEDS......lol was a good night as always!!

I met 32 GTR on goodwood road in the slow ass moving traffic on my drive home from work, wow your car is so straight and CLEAN !! omg, put my car to shame cos it was soooo dirty.... went straight home and washed it :D

Hey, sorry, havnt been on here for ages.. Thanks mate, had actually just washed it the night before. Had Just picked it up from that hyde park auto place (was in getting front driveshafts fixed .. Finally) Might have seen me pull out of the street just before the tram line. Your Cars got a wicked sound to it :P

Didnt even notice your car was dirty lol and yeh, traffics insane at that time on goodwood.

I think that scooter in the background gets more cred than that.....lol Sure he would have beaten him off the line at least!!

Seriously, why would anyone bother.........the paint alone would have bought him a nice ride!?

    • 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.
