Brendan,

As I think I said in my first post "You'd want to be a bloody good rider, to be making statements like that. "

Sounds like (from what you have said) you are a good rider.

Stu

(after editing my original reply to you Trick) - mate, are you on agro pills or something? 'roids? Whats ya problem mate? So, if I start that thread, you'll be first to add your name? :)

You seem to take every comment 5steps too far....... so now Ive been 'told' to get off the thread, get off the forum, dont talk anything but 'skylines', etc etc, so whats next, get off the planet? Sounds like some might already be!!! :)

Back to the main point; the weather's been fine boys! B)

you take this shit too seriously brendan get over it. Its not our fault you wish you had bought a skyline instead of a wagon and want to make yourself feel better by claiming you still have a performance machine(fireblade). I say bring your bike on the next cruise and watch ax53 and trick spank your ass with their Skylines.

f**kin hell, everyone put their e-penis away, this whole thread is BS.

If you wanna test how fast you are, there's 2 track days at Lala this Sat and next, lets see who can put their money where ther mouth is and lay a quick lap.

Geez bit of heat going around this topic --> interesting all the same?

ANyone know why in low boost (stock levels) i am getting boost spikes?

Only got PFC tuned about two weeks ago --> was good to begin with until the other day and to my knowledge havnt adjusted any map settings.! --> it seems to be playing up whenever my ALSD light flashes up (which is about once every couple of days).

Cheers peoples......

I will try and raise some cash for Lala if anyone else is keen (not this weekend however -- maybe the one after) .... Just have to get a fire extinguisher! -- wouldnt mind getting some coilovers too -- > just guess that will have to wait! --

ps.... bwinkyson wouldnt mind seeing what you can do in the wagon or on the bike you should come out to one of these days! see if you can put your money where your mouth is!

Ha HA your'e funny c*&t mike you make me laugh, see you at the next cruise mad34 organises I have bought some two way cb's if you can get ahold of some we can be on the same frequency. Maybe this time we wont be behind a piddly 4 poy. he he sorry andrew cheap shot i know.

four wheels or two...when is the next midnight cruise? and if there is one...i think i'm going to stay towards the rear of this heated field  :)

Up the back you say? I can only wish to be out the back, as far as I can tell Im probably going to be 'Left Right Out'! :D

Ah well, its all good, nothing like a 'difference of opinions' to make a forum well worth the while. Funny how 1 little comment (no matter whether correct or not) can get wildly blown out of proportion!

Cheers to you all, looking forward to not being kneecapped! :lol:

Brendan :)

    • 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
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
