Nah

If I did kill the 4l60e I would just replace it with a built T400

For what I want out of the Dunnydoor, a DCT would be more trouble than what it's worth

You would hate no overdrive

2.87 gears and a bigger trans cooler?

There are joints that do overdrive for the T400

For 1:  https://www.gearvendors.com/hrgm3s.html

 

There are probably other GM slush box options available that are 11ty times easier and possibly cheaper than a T400 with OD

I would never own a DCT in a street car

Anyways, more powers isn't on my to do list

It has more power than I really need, or can use on the street, anyway

The car is a daily driver, not a racecar

As I had a vasectomy about 15 years ago there "shouldn't" be any more gender reveals for this old rooster

Which is nice

Lol.. these gender reveals aren't for your missus, I would have thought you'll be that really rad dad doing gender reveals for your kids 😎

I already am that "rad dad" if you ask the kids, much to the annoyance, and sometimes worry, of the "Minister for war and finances"

Spent 3 hours washing and waxing the car, then remembered it's going to the exhaust shop tomorrow to get covered in greasy hand prints and welding sparks

I really need to plan better

Looks nice.

My eyeballs say that would be pretty loud.

Did a big cruise around the Sydney beaches with the Mrs today, she did the usual and slept for the drive home, so it isn't too loud or droney in the cabin

We did get alot of looks and thumbs up, and only 1 grumpy looking weirdo walking a dog near Centennial Park that looked at the car disapprovingly, then gave us the "little finger/little dick" hand signal, to which the Mrs laughed, pointed at him, yelled Oi, gave him the bird and called a name that questioned his sexuality, I laughed, alot, we are "The Bogans"

So basically the car sounds perfect and the Mrs seems happy

Winner winner chicken dinner

Nope, booked in for seafood platter at our local favourite seafood joint 🐟🦐🦞🦀🐙🐡🦭🐳🐧🦄🍹🥃🍹🥃🍹🥃🍹🍸

The car drones at hwy speeds, in top doing 110 kph at just over 2k rpm

I did bring this up when I picked up the car and Chev said if it does drone to bring it back in and they can fab up a resonator to fit in there

I popped in and had a chat this morning, they are going to fabricate something up which should be done and dusted by the end of the week

Should have heaps of room above the rear muffler to have a Helmholtz chamber tuned for the drone.

First they are putting in a resonator, if that fails then a Helmholtz chamber will be next

Got a cartoon made up of me and the Bogan Cruise Ship Rat Fink style

Getting one of my daughters Yaris with cop stickers and sirens for her attestation in December

Thinking of going even taller in the rear end

3.07, or even possibly 2.87

The 3.46 gears are much better than the 3.91 that were originally in it, and for all of the hwy cruising I do, and with the amount of torque the car has just off idle, and the stalled slush box to get the engine spinning I think the longer gears will give me more manners down low, and good fuel economy on the hwy

And after almost hitting a roo on my last adventure down the coast I want one of these smart bar plastic roo bar thingies

Currently got the feelers out and on the hunt

    • 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)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
