Duncan...

Abbo Cove ???

Call me - I'll PM you my mobile number.

That way you can be the first to get a copy...

Video Party at Duncans this weekend perhaps ??

skylinegeoff....

I don't think it will be publically available to purchase. I think your best bet will be to convince a competitor to lend you their copy.

I watched it again last night (Duration is actually increased to about 53:30mins as they added even more footage). - it's a great compilation - Kel gets a good wrap from Daniel Gibson at wakefield with the top down "looking cool" when it was about -4 degrees.

Sooo... What do you guys think about the DVD ???

I'll email you the cover image you can print out if you like - as they have not come back from the printer yet.

PM me your email address and i'll email it to you.... - that way you can print it out on a colour Printer, (100% on A4) and trim the page.

Kel,

Sorry I didn't recognise you at first when you came over to collect the DVD's - I was in another world as we had to get Jade's Torana up and running as it was gettig a magazine photo shoot that afternoon.

Its excellent :) and even better that you guys could source DVD :D.

I was hoping to see move coverage of our cars in the extra footage, there was a little more for Kel....but I think I'm being greedy now lol.

email for the covers is [email protected], thanks.

I didn't realise the torana was Jade's! must be a hell of a handful to drive....which mag was the photoshoot for?

Extreme Magazine..

Yeah,

It's Jade's little baby.

I've only driven it once as I can't do up the harnesses and from my little drive, It's pretty quick, lethal in the wet with absolutely no traction to speak of.

Funny thing is, the car has basically sat for the last 2 - 3 years and not been driven, then the call comes for some current photos and it's panic stations... Still a fair bit of work to be done on it and the photoshoot was kinda rushed as it was over heating so we couldn't get all the shots we wanted..

He guys - got the Vic Dutton competitor listing in the mail last night.

84 cars in total - 23 of them are porka's.

The good news is there are 3 gtrs to take up the challenge.

One of them is driven by Steven Gleeny, the second is driven by Jeff Beable and the final one is driven by some guy no one has ever heard of before! LOL.

So my new objective is to

a) beat those 2 in at least one event (could be dreaming!)

B) sign them up as members for the new SAU Vic! :devil:

2 weeks to go - can't wait. Finally get my gearbox back today after the car has been out of action for the last 9 weeks.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
