i dont have a spare few grand to drop on this, so i might just start a go fund me. cause you know, others will get to look at and appreciate my car.

whoops, wrong link. what i was referring to:

http://page22.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/l363476344

 

I grabbed a couple of brochures because there are so many optional extras for Y34 and you just never know what was available. it also confirmed a few items I had were genuine factory fitted or even dealership fitted. And cause im a top bloke, I scan them and share them with others for when they are trawling the auction houses for an example they want.

I just wish they were allowed at events that I attend... Current they're not allowed at CAMS Events, which sucks...

You could use it to capture your mates breaking bones on super motos though.

Don't see how they could stop you, sit outside the gates and fly it over into sandown and start filming some cars dont get too close and i'm sure no one will stop ya? or sit in the carpark and fly it over lol

Drone's, not GoPros.

Actually it looks like they've now updated their UAV policy (as of February 2016)... but you need to have Civil Aviation Safety Authority certification and 10M Public Liability Insurance.... Yeah, rightio mate... 

Noone but commercial aerial photography companies are going to have that...


In the past, CAMS insurance would not cover the event if the incident was caused by a UAV... so if there is an unapproved UAV flying around, the smartest move that the Clark of Course could do is stop racing until the UAV is removed. If a driver gets distracted by a drone over the track and misses his braking marker... then goodbye event coverage.

Would make some mad content though, I'll fly it to sandown from my house just to cancel your event :)

Although they only last for like 20 mins, jokes on me :(

it's a disrupter so it blocks signals...drone goes away

 

Yep, Detects, Tracks, Alerts, and if set it can also bombard the unit with frequencies which will cause it to lose control and crash. (Lots of drones these days have built in defence against confusing signals, and will revert to a hover or return to base).Either way, it's stopped in its tracks.

I'm pretty sure if you are actively using a Blighter AUDS, then breaching the CASA or CAMS policies is going to be the least of your legal issues.

Young cop: One long continuous breath etc.

Alright you can go when these cars are clear...*pause* you done any mods to it?

Me: Uh stereo, wheels, lowered it a bit...

Cop: Ah right. Any performance mods or a work in progress?

Me: Nah...not worth it. Not with you guys watching. *smile*

Cop: *laughs*

Me: *drives off sweating*

    • 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.....
    • 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)
