Oh My god whats going on???

The way ppl are selling up ud think that we were having a fuel shortage or sumfin. Ill put the word out for any1 whos interested but have u htought about selling it back to Kevin? i wonder what he give u for it.:)

If u dont mind my askin how did u lose ure lic? (just as a matter of curiosity)

Yeah everyone does appear to be selling.

I have lost my license through points.... I have been on 3 points for ages and have been on my best behaviour. A few months ago i got a fine for having my driving lights on ($100 no mention of points), didnt pay it so i got a final demand..... 3 points!!!

Rang them and basically on the hand written fine there is a disclaimer saying cops arent expected to rememeber all demerit points for all different offences. I guess thats fair enough. But i dont find 3 points for having driving lights on very fair. They arent even bright and arent fog lights IMO. Anyway can't fight the system so it seems when i pay it (due 3rd dec) i will lose my licence. :)

Kym - nah that 1 point thing is too risky in my opinion....think i shall learn my lesson over 3 months of public transport.

Greg - Probably looking at $22g but i doubt ill get that....but i shall start there and see how i go.

Puckish - um im not really sure which road that is, but nah i dont think so. i have seen another 2 toned like mine near the train station (asking for trouble). Mine has the GTR wing if you see it.

Dam that sucks.

Hey correct me if im wrong but didnt i see a bunch of billboard with a car with 2 lifesavers around the headlights saying "turn ure lights on even in daytime"

And they had that ad campaign with the same thing :confused:

Y would they still have a law like this if they are playing ads like that???

Or was this at nitetime?

Yeah the pricks...oh well not much i can do. The annoying thing is i NEVER have them on for this reason....but i was dropping my GF off at her house and i turned them on so she could see her way down the driveway, because i didnt want to turn my headlights on and annoy people asleep in the front room. Oh well.

My car for sale

It's illeagal to have head lights on during the day.

3 points and $100.

The RAC are wrong with that ad.

Daewoos also have driving lights that come on with the headlights as do the early optioned Soarers (1GZ). Wonder how many of those owners have been busted as a revenue earner.

Traffic cops are wankers!!!

I lost my license cause I ran out of points(mostly speeding)

Since i've had it back I've lost most my points and not one was for speeding.

I lost THREE for having a blown headlight!

I lost another two for not indicating in a left turn only lane!

There just pricks.

Headlights? No, its completely ok, even encouraged, to have them on during the day. Check the relevant ADR.

Also, no Australian delivered or complianced car should have driving lights coming on with head lights. Perhaps they're parking lights, like on Boostzor's JZA70 Supra.

MrSnrub- Do you live near the armadale area because I often see a two tone r33 with a gtr wing driving towards the freeway on armadale road!

Sure do!

Yeah i live near Armadale and work in Freo so im back and forth every day.

I saw a red R33 turning off of Albany highway onto Armadale road the other day.....think i seen it a few times before around that area, so it must be you.

    • 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)
    • 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.
