At least it will sound alot tougher, I reckon the note is worth the price alone:)

I gotta admit I thought exactly that myself mate :Oops:

It does sound nice with all the changes. Can't wait to put cams in one day.

By the way I now have a sticker on my car, Boost Worx on front window. This new mod overlooks my bonnet and infuses its magic influence into my motor :wassup:

Matt, when's the next AIR run?

Steve uses his roll cage Martin, he hangs his clothes on it when the factory clothes hanger is already full :)

Yeah Steve, you can borrow my neons, did you want my plastic look-a-like intercooler too? :) Hey you know how I've got the leaking BOV problem? I was actually thinking of blocking the BOV fitting off and just using one of those pretend electronic BOVs instead. That way I get the sound, without the leaks!

Lach, I'm pretty sure the next AIR meet is on the 6th of June? As I mentioned in the PM mate, I'm heading down to BW on Friday. The plan is to trial a muffler change (current Trust muffler is very quiet, and restrictive) and have a play with the BOV in an attempt to fix the leaking issue. You should see if you can head to BW as well? We could do a back to back comparo'.

6th JUNE?? ill be there with or with out the nittos. I need to run the damm car

Won't be in town for the 6th unfortunately.

By the way, I drive my car to work everyday and use it for work on occasions, getting good mileage considering, 390-410km/tank and alot more of course if a driving in country.

But that's Skylines for ya, brilliant, as per the editorial by Ben Ellis in a recent HPI.

How many marks does -5 degrees retard equate to on the os cam gears? I also have OS and the marks are totaly different to HKS.

Sorry but I have no idea, Shaun did it and I wasn't there. I'll ask next time I'm there.

Lachlan/anyone else: are exhaust cams a big benefit to a car without cams or extractors?

I have heard a couple of schools of thought and it seems that if they really did give a little more power but more importantly made the turbo spool up to 500rpm earlier, then EVERYONE would have done this very cheap mod.

I am looking to have it done on the essfideen and want your thoughts.

Here's my thoughts on cam gears Andrew... (using Andrew makes me feel as if I'm about to tell you off :()

The stock cam profiles are designed to work with the stock exhaust system, turbocharger, boost levels and so on. The more you move away from the factory set-up the more you'll find that cam gear adjustment "may" make a noticeable improvement. I would've thought the stock cam timing is a compromise between power and emissions too?

We've made cam timing adjustments to my motor twice (the original motor and the built motor) on both occassions there have been noticeable mid range and top end rwkw gains with nil loss down low (retarding ex cam for mid/top power).

Why don't more people do the cam gear mod? I don't know? It seems strange to not do it if you ask me. It's cheap power!

      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)
