Was planning on making it. Family is double booked though. Unfortunately as my wifes' aunty isn't long for this world this could be the last chance to see her. Maybe able to go as far as Mt glorious and turn at the Samford exit. Hope to see you at 10. Seriously disappointed about the blue z32 not being able to make it. Was looking forward to drooling all over it (ex-Z32 owner)!

Would love to have you come by, even if it is just for a bit Craig.

Below are details so everyone has them on hand. If you can make it, can you please post up just so we know how many cars can make it.

If you are running late on the day or something has come up, my mobile number is 0403 844 395. - The number is publically available, so don't really care about posting it up. :)

Hi guys!

See below for details of our next "awesome-ness filled V/Z/M cruise" meet.

======================

Location: Mt Coot Tha Look Out

Date: Saturday 29th September 2012

Time: 1000 through till early arvo unless people want to hang around

Route: http://goo.gl/maps/5pUCR

=======================

Hope to see the regulars as well as a few new faces.

Please post up your attendance so we know who will be there.

Cheers,

Tony

Yeah I can lead no worries. I have a couple of 2 ways to bring but we can swap numbers before we head off too. Mobile reception is a bit dodge in places.

If someone who has a 2way can stay at the back of the group we won't lose anyone. Or give a 2way to whoever isn't in a hurry and wants to stay at the back ;)

I'll stick around the middle. Sedans can only go so fast, especially with a child in the back (he loves Skylines and cars in general so he'll be squealing like a piggy). Should be a good run. Can't wait! Looks like we can expect about a dozen cars. ;)

Waiting for the z32 list to be updated.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • 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)
