Yeah Clint AIR SM is scheduled for 01 Feb. If it's night meet or a cool day I'll be running, otherwise I'll wait till later. Mind you as it'll be the first meet in ages it's going to be packed! :eek:

We'll see how the voting goes but I'm guessing the 31st will be the go!

Drifty,

I still see Bug's on a regular basis. He/his family have been through a few testing times recently hence he hasn't had a lot of spare time. He still has his Skyline though.

Bug's mentioned to me Andy was selling his GT-R a while back. Dunno' if he's sold it yet or not?

Dunno' about Nitrate?

I'll probably only cruise on the night with highest poll %, I'll See how I go. It's hard juggling my regular bodyboarding trips, late night car cruises & part time fatherly duties!

OT - Any of you guys on here surf/bodyboard? If so let me know as I'm heading down to VH & Yorke's whenever I get the chance.

Hello,

Long time since ive posted, how have you all been - how u Drifty, havent seen you or your beast for ages. Saw andy a few weeks ago with his GTR. As for cruises, I'll be up for one on the 31st. Also, how do you get involved in the AIR SM, does it involve costs or is it invites only?

Regards,

Dooky.

Friday 24th is out for me 'cos I'll be in Darwin .... I think I'm free for the 31st .... but I agree with others - cos we have to work all day Friday we are rooted Friday night and just wanna go home to bed. Saturday nights are much better! Especially in the hot weather we could do Glenelg late afternoon and see the babes, then have dinner down there somewhere then cruise out Anzac Hwy etc later on :D

What are you aiming for down the 1/4.

I think you will get damn close to a low 12.

I'm really interested to see your results.

As long as it's quicker than last time I won't be too disappointed :) 12's are easily achievable, it all comes down to a decent 60ft. I had the grunt for a 12 last time! Low 12's would be nice.

The 31st is looking good :D

Miss_Nismo,

I saw your blue NEO RB25DET R32 the other day. Looks good, nice conversion & very tidy in the eng' bay! Huge potential once you've done the usual upgrades :uh-huh:

Dooky,

It involves costs, AIR is ~$55 from memory? Unless you're an ANDRA licence holder then it's cheaper (I think?)

Other than that just turn up on the day/night, fill out the paperwork & as long as the car passes basic safety requirements (nothing leaking or loose etc...) your in!

Don't forget your ADR approved helmet & long sleeve shirt + full length pants (or trackies if that's your thing :D)

Matt

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
