Hey Flick yeah that was me.....The car does look a bit maroon when it gets darker.Scored the plates off a fellow member.

I thought it might have been you, didnt have the plates last time though!

i got a toot this morning on the way to work on south road just after richmond road heading north, maroon R33 with SAU sticker...

thanks for the wake up, was almost falling asleep at the lights haha.

then i spotted sorry about this but "the red commodore ute" with SAU stickers when i was leaving work, you had pulled into the on the run and i gave a toot on the way past when i saw ya, i think you looked over but might have been too late!

that ute would be matty t aka Serty 1 :)

geez, beaten to it again..........get it right flick - on here im Matty 31 LOL

i heard ya toot buddy, looked around to see the glimpse of a rear 1/3 of a silver 33..........knew itd hav to be someone from on here to toot from that distance LOL

i didnt see any GTR badges on the back..were u wearing like one of those tops thats green fluro for work???

nope not me than =D, spotted a sexc r32 gtr and a evo9 at the bed store near parafield carwash

Haha yes that was me! I had a funny feeling it was someone of SAU

saw a silver r34 gtr on the road that exhaust technology is on, then a little later on south rd i think it was another silver r34 gtr, but it was debadged, and then on bridge road a black r34 (im pretty sure it was nightcrawler) if it was u andrew i say u wave and flash ur lights.............i cant out my windows down at the moment cause they got re-tinited to 70% this morning.......i did wave back tho just hope you saw it!!!!!

Saw a purple 33... I think a GT-R with SAU stickers on the drivers side 1/4 window around 4-4:30 around pooraka / Ingle Farm

Also A black R31 Coupe with Stove top lights just after

+ many other 32's, 33's + 34's

haha yeah Cara that was me - and I did see you wave :P

Spotted this morning bout 7-ish, Matty in the daily going down south road, didnt realize it was you til i saw the SAU sticker on the rear quarter window, then it was to late to wave, saw you wave but. >_<

Also on my way home spotted either a dark blue (like mine) or black R32 GTR going north down south road near the shops in o'halloran hill, stuck my arm out the window and waved but dont think you saw me.. Car looked very nice.

saw flick the other day turning into ttp and again today but im sure you didnt see me as i only just saw you. was on marion road you were headin back home and i was going the other way.

traffic sucked wang!

also saw adam (mayhem) may, gave me a wave, some dude in a white fc waved to me and another dude in a black kitted s13 wave to me :s

i leave the south for a week and come back to random people being nice to me haha

flick here - Nah kye didnt see u the second time, was probly too focused on getting home from work lol

also yesterday bout 6-7ish maybe, pretty sure it was SLED in his GTR on the end of hindley, waiting to turn onto wst tce. Anyone see the accident there bout that time? Car cleaned up a bike.. looked pretty bad.

Last night on jetty road, cops defecting cars, pulled over a white 34 GTR, no trade plates, but had powerplay imports plate on it - pretty sure the cop was going over a permit with him

Funniest thing was a holden astra getting defected!

    • 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.
