Spray bottle of quick detailer and a micro fibre cloth in the glove box

I usually do, but i took it all out on the weekend to do the Merc i was detailing and have not put it back in yet. Ill have to give it a quick look at tonight.

Pay day today so I'll be getting a few things.

20x Wheel nuts

2x Child Restraints

Book Rosie in for temp exhaust and some minor fixes to comply with the pits

and decide whether or not I should go and get a Engineer Cert - because the new law comes in comlience on the 1st of Nov 2013.

Also - was looking at a CF Pod Filter airbox - however it's rated for the stock pod filter and not my aftermarket one so not sure if it'll fit :(

keep the Standard airbox bro, only only reason i don't use my standard box is it won't fit with my larger AFM.

Also new law?

All cars must have correct child restraints and Engineered (if 5 seater you need 3 child restraints) so yeah.. this comes in on the 1st of Nov 2013. Trying to slip past it.

Just booked Rosie in with Trojan for next Wed to get Bulbs, exhaust and chils restraints. Happy with the quoted price.

get engineered when you get defected

and remember even when engineered you can and will still be defected (when the PoPo feel like it)

but at least it will be less hassle I suppose.

Would love too, however, to pass pits I need it :/ But I'm trying to get it through before the 1st so that way I can maybe slip under the new law.

I'm confused...according to the guy who fitted and engineered my restraints, they're supposed to be fitted for compliance when the car is imported....not to mention they already require an engineer's certificate post-compliance (if compliance was dodgy), hence why I needed to have mine added to the report.

I have 2 sound speakers in teh rear parcel shelf so no longer complied. I only have one in the middle. I need 3, I only have 2 which need to be certified if I'm going to comply I guess.

So what on earth are you talking about when you say about slipping in before some law? They need to be fitted and engineered NOW, not after some date in the future.

Hence my confusion.

My understanding (Which is not promising) is that you need an engineers cert now (1st Nov). No excuses (It also needs to be tested). Before, when I got my R33 through pits they just said put child restraints in the back (Not to get it engineered).

Read the legislation (post #2149) as I don't fully understand it myself.

f**k reading that novel lol...but yeah let's not forget (and it seems you've encountered yet another prime example) that the clowns employed in VITU (Vehicle Inspection Technical Unit) DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW THE REGULATIONS THEY'RE APPARENTLY CERTIFIED TO ENFORCE.

Dead set, they're idiots. They wrongly advised you the first time with your R33, though at least at the time it was fortunately in your favour.

    • 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)
