Man, SAU is just filling up with people who have goals in horsepower or want to run X amount of boost. we need a horsepower ban in place.

yeah I'm aiming for a nice 150ish RWKW, think I have decided on one of these as my affordable classic for a few years whilst american muscle gets finished.

 

bit of low, some rims, few tunes and a 308 seems like a nice little weekend car. prob bang it on club rego as well.

just checked car sales... VK's start at $7,500.

$3k will get you a real shitter.

After seeing a few really clean XF/Fairmont/Fairlane/whateverthef**k, i think they'll be classics. chunky tyres, low, those american style speedos.

My cousins got a ZH Fairlane, and its actually pretty cool.

5ish will get a clean one with some good bits, 4ish for one with a few things to clean up

When I was in the office 5 days a week I rode in most days 

Used to do Gleniris to south melb then after move was doing Newport to South Melb

 

both had bike tracks most of the way and was at work in under 30 min. and we had bike storage in the secure carpark.

 

we did have decent showers at work however as in summer can get a sweat going.

Did it a couple of times but I only lasted 4 months in the city before moving jobs, f**k that. 

Too many dickheads in cars don't see ya, and took a fair bit of time to get my gear on / off / bike out the shed etc. Didn't make it worth it so got the train. 

I got a mate that lives like 10km out of the city and has a really powerful E-bike thing, gets him to work and home really quick and can use bike tracks, plugs it on charge nightly and bobs your auntie.

Get Nismo weighted shit knob. One of those poly-whatever ones (no, not the gay rounded ones with the flare at the bottom).

 

They work gud

I have a shift knob that I got from our great friends at Autobarn.

But I legit want an OEM one because I figure they should be cheap as literally anyone who changed their shift knob ever should have one, and it'll fit nicely over the boot...

Your logic is flawed, anyone that changed them threw the stock one in the bin.

Originally I wanted a Nismo leather one but $180 was the cheapest I got offered, so yeah that is out.

I just want something that will sit on the thread on the shifter properly, having this dead space between top of boot and the actual knob is mildly annoying. Mildly as in cheap 2nd hand OEM shifter price annoying.

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
