Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Can anyone recommend a good place to get side skirts fitted and painted and front bumper resprayed? Obviously no one wants to pay more than they have to but i'd rather pay more for something perfect as the product remains after the money is forgotten.

After a perfect paint match and don’t want any orange peel, prefer both items painted off the car as it is currently a perfect respray and don’t want it ruined with overspray :yucky:.

Cheeeeeeeeeeers in advance

I'm looking to probably sell my R33 if anyone is in the market for one. Black, manual, rb25det, registered, no defects, coilovers, advan rims, all electrics etc. 11k ono.

Reason for sale is moving to another state soon and will probably just pick something up there.

Well , i finally got my track hack going after replacing the turbo , small issue , i took the old turbo off thinking there was a problem with it , i pulled it apart and found nothing wrong with it (apart from a small crack in the rear housing, and me breaking the rear wheel off while taking the rear housing off) , i put the new turbo on and it's still making the same sound! . Nfi where to look , all the gaskets are new etc :( so back to the drawing board... I think i may just have to register it and then change all the manifolds and piping (to after market etc)

Have you tired pressurizing your cooler piping etc?

Not yet , it sounds like the compressor is touching the housing , but it doesn't because i checked all of that out before i put it back together , it's quite audible from the air filter , which gives me a big ??? . Only gasket i haven't checked is the 3 bolt one that comes off the compressor , i can't see it being that though .

I have no doubt in my mind it is that or the housing itself , with my luck , it would be the hardest thing to change , or the simplest . Either way , it's a good excuse to use the ceff setup :D . So Mr Kennedy has got his car to the track finally , about time , plenty of $$$ there , i was waiting for him to have a go! Tell him next time you see him that i said he is soft! .

should be with the money invested in it! Pumped to be a passenger in it at some stage though.

Would rather be the driver! Especially if the owner wants to drive lol *waves to Blake*

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)
