Haha, yeah will probably keep it for a fair while, though its not so stealth in bright yellow

I'd love to get a second car as a daily tho, i'm thinking ralliart colt (~$9k, turbo, good on fuel)

Wheels, coilovers and a tune would make me pretty happy and i don't think i'd be on the wrong side of the law (though they can seemingly get you for anything if they really want)

^this is true. My 33 is relatively stock with aftermarket body kit, bigger wheels but with heaps of gap between my wheels and arches owned it for just over 1 1/2yrs been pulled up 3 times or RBT's late late at night.

So what does everyone do for fun these day?

Last time i lived at home for more than 3 months broady carpark was still there and was where all the cool kids go

Glad to hear that e85 is available from a couple of servos now too! Eventually i'm thinking hypergear highflow on e85 and see what i can get out of it

Just need to organise some form of paying for it all

man how long ago did you live on the GC?????

Broadie car park is no longer and has been that way for a long time now.

Its now a family theme park (which is pretty cool mind you and good for the overall community :) )

Too much attention was caused by the so called cool kids at Broadwater car park.

I have joined the QLD SAU club for fun. As that is where you can enjoy tonnes of fun and also use your car in a controlled and safe environment at some events they organise.

I will be going to my first event with my car this Sunday at QR Happy Laps - so very excited and nervous at the same time :banana:

Yeah, E85 is pretty easy to procure over here (for now) and I have a servo at the end of my street that supplies it.

Welcome back by the way.

5 years of uni + a gap year so i've been away for a little while

I usually come up at the end of each uni semester for summer, but its never long enough to get back into the car scene up there, its just about enough to catch up with some mates and then back down to Tas :(

I head someone had a meet on the gc the other day and police were cool with it and no one got raped which is cool

Probably won't have my car up there till maybe early jan so thats probably gonna suck, should be run rolling around in my parent's corolla :/

mate if you drive sensibly in a car that is not flat capper defect central you should have nothing to worry about.

Now, start driftin / skiddin / racin on public roads.......then you deserve the consequences that are attached with such inappropriate actions

If you aren't a dick attracting attention, it's not that bad. In a Volvo lookalike, they really won't look twice - unless you're flying down backstreets at 100. If you're really that concerned, buy a wig. As they glance at you, you'll look like a soccer mum and all is sweet. :P

      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)
