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*

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
