this is def for skids,

he ran his Monaro at a bunch of go to who's and motokana's and got a nice collection of prizes but it's gone up in value too much and he wants to park it up.

has a Commo for a daily and it will be locked off street every night.

this one is kinda jumping out as he likes the Nismo body kit (and has a friendly RWC guy)

https://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1998/SSE-AD-5555201/?Cr=19

 

he's wanted a R34 for ages and now the kids have left school and got jobs he decided has some money for "another" toy car. 

 

 

it must be 2 doors, and not sure if skylines will work on farm tracks to tow stuff out.

 

(he is a country small motor mechanic so has to go out to farms and pick up pumps/mowers and such.)

So the commo wagon is perfect for the job.

19k a lot for a 20 year old 'non special' Nissan BUT that guy said original importer since 2005 which means it's at least been with the one owner since then adds a lot of value in my eyes. Looks decent enough if he has the dosh. 

One thing I don't like is the fact it got retuned in July.. does this mean tuner said it's about to go pop so sell it? or was the tune changed to make it last long enough to sell?

When work won't approve any annual leave (we're talking 2-3 months in advance) so I can't take my car to shops for mods & tune :(

On another note coworkers sending me all the Subaru Memes, so many memes, so much vape.

I had this once, 3 leave requests over 12 months rejected as we were short staffed.

then had HR come and complain to me that I had too much leave outstanding.

 

was fun watching the 2 argue, but I got rid of that boss 6 months later.

Went to that JDM picnic car show thing at Heidelberg the other day, was a decent turnout a lot of cars and variety.

It was no R34 GTR + TE37 only meet though. (feat. security guard)

Also why am I seeing Ukrainian single ladies ads on SAU (I'm at work) haha. 

Simon you been makin' some deals? ?  or has someone been browsing on my work computer ?

That's exactly what I've already got haha, the G920 is good budget wheel but really lacks the 'spin back' when you try drifting etc. You look at some of these Fanatec wheels and they behave exactly like a real car wheel would.

    • 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.
