Well I'm not sure which is more intimidating brah but I've done a 60kph roll on with both and I fkn annihilated them both, the ford was closer but really I smashed em both.

My weapon of choice, TDi Passat wagon, its chipped n shit n gows hard.

I had to back off but at around 180 for some traffic lights n shit.

Gr8 b8 m8, would have had me except for the fact that it's well known that phagmobiles can't keep up with any LS master race powered cars

i dont feel they ensure smooth traffic flow when everyone that see's one slows down to a whopping 20km/h in a 110 zone ..

Sounds like Elegant Skyline is back for more trolling attempts

Sorry John, But I don't quite understand how a Skyline Fanatic can express appreciation for a stealth look Holden or Ford when in the past month two unmarked HWP Falcons have been spotted on the M5/Mo

Well look Ben get your facts straight, it states;

"For disussion relating to all other cars, bikes and other powered vehicles"

No wonder the quality of the Skyline Forum is declining rapidly cause of these dimwits.

I see your HUGE contribution of oh, 12 posts makes you a forum whizz. Its a shame people like you add to the decline of QUALITY topics to discuss. Who gives a s#%t which cop car looks better?

While on the subject of facts: The busies have used FPV F6's for over five years now....

:unsure: This is all getting a bit intense...

On another note, it would be awesome if NSW HWP practiced what they did in the USA Nevada and modified than ran their older HWP cars on the drag strip on nights called "Beat the Heat".

It would be a good feeling to smash a copper on the QTR Mile....

They had a wrx Sti at one point that they used at wsid for that exact reason, but it didn't last long

Just like the WRX's they ran on the road for HWP around 10 years ago... but the officers were not used to AWD compared to RWD when it came to "spirited driving" and wrote something like 5/6 of them off....

zebra, not sure if your old enough to remember this but, in the mid '90's the AFP were deciding whether to get 2 WRX or an 850 (I won't mention what shape they remind me of) T5. They chose the latter, & during a pursuit, put it through a brick wall at the bega flats chasing a WRX! Ironic?

      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.....

      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)
