1:30ish 2day spotted a yellow lamborghini murcielago parked infront off truscotts north east rd was drolling ova it as i was makin a u-turn not focusing on the road lol...

Also wondering if its vinniegts4 i c everyday afta wrk around 4-4:30pm on pt.wakefield rd turning up grand junction?..well it was a silver r32 so could be any1 on ere.. I drive da GunmetalR32 wid da black boot & angel lights, well actually looks like ba ford slash mustang lights been slack with fabricating will have the car lookn good eventually hehe... :)

Didnt knw there was a spotting forum on ere so now im gna hav to giv a wave to other skyline drivers hopefully they knw y, cos not many skyline drivers i knw herd about SAU ill probably get a weird :) look from em lol

im always goin on to grand junction from pt wakefield but more at like 12 30 - 1ish and my 32 is black lol so i dnt fink it was moi

Saw last night RB25DET (Red R33) parked on Jetty road, forget the time, must say very nice looking car, nice rims, bronze goes well with the red :)

Hey thanks for the comments mate was up playing 8 ball at Chalkers.The wheels must have looked bronze in the light cause they are actually silver.

oh and last night down the bay a black/blue 32 (think it was a gtr) waved at us several times n flashed his lights at us, not quite sure who it was though.

Haha that waz me silly. Saw ya sitting at the lights at anzac h/w and brighton road, waved to luke but didnt think he saw me so i did a u turn and went down jetty rd the opposite way so u'd see me LOL. And yeh flashed my lights at ya.. Didnt see u again after that.

haha i thought it was, but didnt say it on here incase i got it wrong lol, even said to luke i was sure it was you. I saw u the first time but dont think Luke did. Probly saw me waving from passenger seat tho lol. Yeh we left after that, bit scared of the bay this weekend, have seen so many cops down there the last few days! Even got followed briefly last night after we left.

Yeh, were quite a few cops out last night, was around til 3 and there were still plenty out at that time. Had one follow me also, was driving alongside me for awhile, then slowed down and stopped, get heaps nervous when they do that, just do plate checks and stuff i think.

Also didnt metion before, i spotted MR R34, a yellow R34 (obviously) down Anzac h/w last night, was a few cars back from you flick when i flashed me lights, dont know if you saw it. And saw him again today around 4 down the end of anzac h/w just cruising around. Were alot of skylines out down the bay, was a good day at the Toyoshow down there..

spotted a black r32 on prospect rd, got a wave and waved back of course :)

a black R34 GTR on port rd turning onto south rd thos afternoon, gave the thumbs up but i dont think he saw me.

a maroon r33 with shopping list and greddy stickers on the side at brickworks markets, also spotted Muges with his clean as R34

spotted a black r32 on prospect rd, got a wave and waved back of course ;)

that was me coming home from work lol probs didnt recognise me coz my car is filthy atm..instead of black its a chocolatey colour lol :)

seen a few times in the last couple of days the two guys i met the other week at kmart in the vic regod 32..........seen ya when ive been in the work truck mainly LOL

um, seen that dude in the s2 33 again tonite (man my memory is shocking atm.........must go back a few pages and remember it LOL) on anzacs near stonehouse av.......got a late wave in LOL

    • 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.
