So is there any use asking for tech help on this forum. or is this an anti-fun forum.

Plans are to do suspension, shocks and springs, swaybars, nolathane bushes and brakes.

What I want is the car to be able to do a skid if I want to, it will not be a drifter, I have a race car or two for that, it's my daily after my C34 tow car got worn out.

Me at a Drift Demo

Me at our local track, practice

Not anti fun at all, most of us love skids. But skids and speed off the streets. Most of us live in areas that imports are pretty heavily targeted by the authorities, and as a community we want to promote off street activities. Search YouTube for some SAU texi vids for and example.

So when you just ask how to do skids, don't be suprised by the response! Most people reserve skids for kids with flat caps in commos.

So, to the car. If you bought a 2.5 or 3.0 and trying to do skids, your a derp. If you bought a 3.5 then you have some options. You can go down the NA bolt on route. Exhaust, plenum spacer, z tube, maybe a tune if your rich. That might get you to skidville. Other options are turbo or supercharger kits.

Best thing you could really do with a rwd, is a manual conversion. Just do it from a manual v35 wreck. Skids would be much easier, and more fun to drive.

Don't worry about the brake wire cut, in NA cars it doesn't exist.

Cheers Stagea Cuz.

Off the 'skids' topic for a sec, does anyone have any advice on the most appropriate place to fit a sender for a transmission temp gauge?

Looking at the box, theres two possibilities I could see:

One at the back just above the sump

And another on the side near the lines to the radiator, but it might be a bit close to the front propshaft depending on how big the sender is

Anyone fit one before that could tell me which is the best spot?

I'm just doing an inline one, brass bspt barbed air fittings for the trans hose and 1/8 bspt for the sender thread. I only plan to monitor the trans temps, but the other inline sender for the new -12 engine oil cooler lines will control the thermo fan. (its mounted right behind the engine oil cooler.) I will get some pics when I re-install the engine.

I think I've seen them mounted in the side of the pan. Can't quite picture the locations you've supplied, but I'd be wary because the valve body sits pretty snug in there. Better of in the pan of fluid I would have thought.

That would be my choice; weld or braze a bung in to the pan.

The other thing; I wouldn't be surprised to find a spring & detent ball behind one of those bolts...

Welcome Darren. Nice vids btw.

Don't worry, you'll get plenty of tech help here (& on itsnotavolvo.com.au) & a small amount of ribbing occassionally, as you've seen. It's all in fun & (mostly) everyone on here are good blokes with heaps of knowledge between them. Being mainly family guys &, ermm, responsible types, you will never hardly ever hear us talk about driving illegally. It's what sets us apart from the others :)

the only worry i have about the sender sitting on the side of the pan is ground clearance - my car is stupidly low at the moment :/

last thing i want is the sender getting torn out while my wife negotiates an Everest sized speed hump & leaving a trail of gearbox fluid all over the street where it doesnt belong...

If you're worried about that; you (I) could roll a piece of sheet steel as a shield around the underside of the bung & sensor & weld on to the pan.

I don't think it would be an issue TBH; Jetwreck would be able to tell you if he's ever seen a pan with gouges or dents, mine didn't even have a stone chip in the paint.

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
