If every thing goes to plan I'll be giving the car a full service this Tuesday.

Don't waste monies on expensive spark plugs if your doing them

Bcpr6es for $5 each. If they only have the bcpr6es-11's then gap them to 0.8mm yourself.

$100+ cheaper than iridiums which aren't needed

Interesting. Why do you say iridiums aren't needed?

Did Poologger do that? If so i'm kinda pissed be didn't want to work on my car looks mint! can't wait to see it in person.

Na it wasnt him, not actually seen him in a while. Was old mate from wk cost me a onkyo amp and a pack of cigs plus I gave him a 5k sale ;)

Im gonna be a pain and ask "why is that?"

Copper is best conductor, almost as good as gold,and less likely to overheat

Platinum and iridium don't conduct as well and can overheat. They may last twice the distance if not overheated but cost 6 times more

Copper- best performance. Shortest life $5

Platinum- ok performance. Ok life $25

Iridium- ok performance. Better life $30

There isn't that much in it really performance wise but big diff in price.

So considering I don't drive much at all (probably 10,000kms per year) I should just get platinum/copper?

Also, morning all, nice, cold and wet this morning!

Ok so my oil filter was stuck on all of my tools couldn't get it off. They were just denting it pretty bad. Desperate to beat the rain I rung C-Red as I was just around the corner from them and Mark let us borrow a tool he has to loosen it. What a top bloke, saved the day. New filter is in and the oil has been changed. Can't recommend these guys enough!

    • He has an aftermarket hanger, it just sounds like your setup is much better then his.  It doesn't sound crazy at all to me, to install an aftermarket hanger and end up backwards compared to the factory setup.  Have a look at the tiny sock/filter/pickup on his fuel pump, surely the factory item is much much longer and I bet, better positioned as well. 
    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • 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.....
