fatz: dexter's gtr is running 500hp, its a 10 second gtr, that smoke that you saw wasnt the blueish smoke that you should worry about anyway, even if it was you cant expect to double a cars power output and have the stock internals still be in mint condition.

ps- the car is tuned, using a power fc.

cheers

On my way home and guess who passes me bloddy GTR BOY and |HYPE| both looking at me licking there lips and winking. I felt very degraded after that little encounter.

Just imagine how you would have felt if you had been stopped long enough for them to get jiggy with your exhaust....:)

yep I had fun...big thanks to DatNet for the sausage :)

nice to meet some ppl who i speak to on here but hadn't actually met before (brendanf, matboy, brody...mmmm prolly more can't remember...)

Loz...nice to meet your grade A skank...and your puppy dog...still think it looks like a girl :)

2rismo...my Rotor loving passenger (QIK78U) has decided he hates rotors now and loooooooooves Skylines sooooooo much he has to get one :lol: god i hope he doesn't read this :eek:

sorry to you guys who got defected :( I don't know exactly who it was...but i heard a few cars had to wait for a tow...

CanberraR33...me? a snob? never!!! ;)

glad to see you guys had a fun drive back...we'll have to organise something soon huh?

I HAVE PICS (anyone else???)

see here

p.s. one last thing...I'm in love with Hype's car ;)

its a 10 second gtr

Speaking with Dexter on Sunday @ homebush reveals it is yet to break into the 10's. He is apprehensive about the standard box but is going to try anyway.

Just FYI.

I saw a bunch of skylines with their bonnets up being bent over by the cops. This was on the road just off Mt Ousley on the way to Gong beach. Was that any of you guys?

PS Cops suck

I think xotik1 was in that group unfortunately. Myself and BIGVIS were waiting for the group to come down Mt Ousley, the group passed, we followed about 1 minute later - BIGVIS and I drove passed all the cops and Lines being defected. I understand that a 180 and a rotor were towed off. I think Dexter got done for a moster tacho.

VIS & I then went up to the lighthouse - there were million of people and more cops, I saw a police bike going over a Camry.

So we decided to get the flock out of there and find the Dato guys at Kembla.

Cheers,

fatz: yeah i know what you mean, id hate to see any gtr blow up.

brendanf: there were quite a few of us that got defected, dexter for the filters and guages(very lucky), and mostly ever1 that had an aftermarket filter or bov. a few got towed, like a 2001 model rex that had no rego. but the cop that was defecting ever1 was heaps leniant and didnt care too much about sending cars to the e.p.a or giving out canaries.

oh well.

What is the deal with Airpods being illegal?

Also, I've been told in the ACT that a BOV is legal if it's plumback. So does that mean that if I got pulled up they could defect me 'cause I am driving in NSW or do they have to leave me alone due to ACT plates??

I wish there was just one national rule and you could go and get a book and actually know what the deal was!

Haven't those bunch of retard coppers got anything better to do than pull over a bunch of nice looking cars minding their own business and trying to make their life difficult? It is discrimination and the cops should be reamed for targeting specific car types like that.

that guy who owns "dexter" should get a engine check up

nice whitesmoke, some someone pass this on wouldnt like to c his engine blow up

pete

yeah, he should learn how to ****en drive too!

great day guys, next time i might step in on the organisation and get some maps and meeting spots sussed.

Driftin 180 - i'll be heading out on saturday to check *that car* i was talking to zoran about. you guys will be open?

    • 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.
