really? must be the weather. is the car wash open there yet?

i couldnt jump start the gloria, so battery is on charge now

Dunno anything about a car wash

About 5 Skylines there but very much outnumbered by the 70s muscle

7 new mustangs; no one gives a shit

R33 starting to get looks when leaving = classic mode nearly activated

Camaros :worship:

when I was in Gosford after WTAC there was a new mustang meet going on at the car museum. some of the mustangs already had supercharger kits on them. not bad for a bunch of middle-aged dudes. i like the gun metal colour i think.

Maybe I'm stuck in a time era but the new Mustangs don't do it for me, or really any new cars for that matter

Might appreciate them more in a few years

Do walkinshaw even work on anything that isn't a HSV? Or do they only give out badges to HSVs?



Someone at work has a 2015 mini Cooper s. New engine under warranty at 13,000kms. Most of the motors out of the factory had incorrect crank bearing clearances. Lots of lunches motors. Each Cooper model has had a different engine, the latest 2 have had the most issues. Bit of a joke really

If my car gets stolen during a test drive for a potential buyer am i covered with full comp insurance?

And how would I prevent someone stealing it, say they ask to take it for a test drive, maybe they leave me there keys but wat if that cars stolen too

From the passenger seat you tell them alright let's turn back now, at which point the driver takes you back to your house, where you left a photocopy of their driver's licence, that you asked them for before handing over the keys.

If they look Sudanese then maybe get the money first

I think it's fairly easy to judge character.. I let a guy ride my bike & was fine, facebook stalked him before hand and everything checked out (stories of old bikes, the family car in pictures etc.) he left his license and car keys as well.

Gotta be careful with that shit though, cars are easy just go with them and bring a gun 

I'm not exactly the toughest guy! Lmao [emoji23]
So i was more thinking if they took it for a drive, me in the passenger seat and around the corner there mates are there in another car waiting haha...

Its pretty easy to get a fake id these days too

If they're willing to do that they'll take the car without worrying about bothering you for a test drive

Walkinshaw do kits for the ss etc just like harrop and all the others... Not sure on prices for my engine but the '325kw' kit which is the first stage of their kits, was about 5k on the 6L...exhaust CAI and tune... Or drop 20k on the full kit, supercharger etc and be putting out a lazy 460+rwkw (hub dyno)

Given my engine is 320kw stock, the 325 kit becomes the 375 kit I believe... Seem to be big losses though, 375kw resulting in like 280rwkw on their hub dyno... Maybe I've been out of the game too long but I don't remember skylines etc having that much drive train loss..

    • 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.....
    • 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)
