booked the car in for a tune at racepace a couple of weeks ago and dropped it off.
upon arrival, my alternator regulator shit itself and overcharged the battery, causing the battery to boil up. lucky. so while its there its getting a reconditioned alternator, as well as a decat :)
pick it up next saturday, and im pissing myself with excitement.

Haha thanks man, when you're at the bottom the only way out is up! Drove the car to SYDNEY, from Melbourne. Got there, no issues. Got back home last night, no issues. Like a f**king champion

alright my niggas.
some bitter sweet news, yet again.
first things first (im the realest), The boys at Racepace were AMAZING! i cant fault their service, in four days they completed the works required, and had a solid crack at tuning the car, many now know as, the big blue kunt.
unfortunately, the person that previously worked on it, who i wont mention from now on, did a questionable job, so have to fix his mistakes and sort out some serious boost leaks before we can continue and hit the numbers we were expecting.
that being said though.
the car now has a steady idle, happily idles at 900rpm, is whisper quiet, even with a decat and drives so smoothly now, i want to drive it anywhere.
i f**king love these guys!
so next up, is all cold side and hotside pipes off to go over ALL THE LINES!

Should have gone to Racepace in the first place.

At least it's fixed now.

update time.
have been insanely busy over the last few months so, not much was done to the old girl.
my mates bought me some numberplates for my birthday, i bought some wheels and basically fixed all the little things on the car that annoyed me.
now have a working ciggarette lighter, head unit and heater.
all is looking good, but we have some HUGE plans for next year, which will certainly blow a few minds.

itll be stupid, but sometimes, enough is enough.

Looking good. Kicking myself - Had to hop back in the car and leave in a rush at the Daylesford cruise, didn't get a change to take a look at this.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
