Ferni...and everyone else..are you driving up on the sat?  If so do we want to organize a convoy?

Sounds good, so far Ferni and I are going up together with about 4 other cars (spectators). We should organize a place and time to meet…

Ant (and anyone else)

A few of us plan on doing a special run up to Benalia the back ways on Saturday with a stop off at Buxton to try out Victoria's best burgers!

:D

Check it out.

Anyways - it means a run through the twisties - hell we may even go the super long way through Reefton yet - but we haven't decided.

Will be leaving the SouthEast / Ferntree Gully area around midday.

Sounds good snowie...although don't forget my little gtst trying to keep up 'round the twisties :D

Anyway it is a huge weekend for me with this track day and moving house on the monday so I'll have to confirm if I can make the midday convoy next week.....

Yeah i'm happy to do a cruise up on sun morning, will have to be early tho. 8am scruit. What time will we have to leave and wheres a good place to meet? Last time we met at ferntree gully maccas....

I'll be there.

Sunday morning, whereever it needs to be.

Let's say 5:30am LEAVE THE MEET

250 kilometers, is 2.5 hours.  5:30 + 2.5 hours is 8am

just in time for scruit

I will so be asleep at that time. LOL

Well there is no way I'm getting up THAT early on any Sun :D

Bec...don't worry if I do miss the midday cruise, I'll just have to play catch up :O

Where were you thinking for a meet place Snowie?

Blaise and I were cruising to Scotsmans house (F/G) and going from there.

There is a maccas on left hand side of dorset road in bayswater (you drive past it when going to racepace) as you drive north. I say thats a good meet point then we take the route pointed out by the yellow line on the map attached. I'm open to adjustments however.

Ferni - not only did you pick the quickest route - its also the funnest!!!

Geeee what a coincidence :O

If i had cruise control the hume may be the go, but luckly my car can turn corners without coming to a stop.

MSPEC: Yep, thats the one :D

    • 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)
