Kool! i wanna c it :D

Hey evry1: I'm back to needing a leader on the day, my navigator has to meet me there now so when we meet at thornleigh then we'll organise who's leading! Bring your 2-ways if u have them as well.

Cheers guys,

c ya'll then.

Dave.

Hey evry1: I'm back to needing a leader on the day
Directions from Thornleigh Maccas:

* Head Sth along 'Pennant Hills Rd' until you get to 'James Ruse Dr'.

* Turn Left onto 'James Ruse Dr' (think the sign says parramatta or something).

* Stay in the left lane and follow the signs to Penrith which is right before Parramatta Rd (you turn off left even though Penrith is to the right).

* This will bring you onto the M4 which you then follow all the way to 'Mulgoa Rd' (about 25-30km).

* Take the 2nd Penrith Exit (Mulgoa Rd) and when you get to the exit ramp lights turn right onto 'Mulgoa Rd' (has signs for Panthers). Construction around the Eastern Creek area so watch for changing speed limit signs.

* Drive along Mulgoa Rd (about 2km), you will go past a shell, Burger King, Caltex, DickSmith, Bus Depot, etc keeping in the left lane.

* Stay in the left lane, when you get to the round-about continue straight ahead.

* About 50m after the round-about you will see the KFC, Krispy Kreme and Maccas signs on the left, turn left at the lights.

* This will bring you into the Panthers entry road, the first drive-way to the left is for Maccas carpark, 2nd is for KFC, Lone Star, Krispy Kreme etc. Continue 20m further ahead and turn left at the round-about.

* This will take you 20m down along side the KK drive-thru road, just park down on the left.

Panthers Security is generally fine if you don't leave a big mess, don't look like your gonna roll someone and aren't playing music loud, don't do anything stupid as the entire carpark is under video surveillence.

Plenty of seating inside KK or just outside. Carpark car security is perfectly fine.

Edit: By the time you all get there Panthers (the leagues club) will be quite happening on the inside, well worth a visit. You can wear pretty much anything but thongs and beanies, or if you are female, pretty much nothing at all :boobies2:

And also is anyone planning to go somewhere after for a drive, cos i wouldn't mind going for a cruise.

Cheers.

Thier is a nice look out just up the mountains (about a 20min drive) which looks pretty cool at night time with all the cities lights which is a decent drive.

I'm guessing it's still on :-)

I'll be there, once i've removed the blocks of mud from the fmic, ducts and the wheels :-/

('lines were never meant to be in mud deeper than 6"!!!!!! - Too fecking hard to clean... piles of mud sitting on all the front sills is wrong!)

Now I know why Bathurst is considered 'rural' :spcow: :zap:

Edit : Although it is funny to see ppls faces when you drive though a town *officially* in the middle of nowhere, and they're pretty much saying 'f*** me, that's a skyline' :headspin:

Edit2 : Have now received true permission, the other half wants me to get *one* donut for her before she starts her diet on monday :-D Talk about a long distance take out!

    • hey OP can you remind me what the actual question was, I got sidetracked at V12. Do you have an turbo oil return leak and an unidentified coolant leak? The factory oil returns are terrible design; short, rubber and expensive to replace. They are very common to fail and a pain to replace because they are so short. Still, they are available new if you want to replace both last time I checked. For the coolant leak, any competent mechanic should be able to do a pressure test; that should show up where the leak is. It is almost certainly one of the billion 30 year old rubber lines which are now brittle as hell, you engine will be fine.
    • From the OP's description, sounds to me like the TCU is in 'limp home' mode --- that is, no actuation power to shift solenoids, and the EPC valve is shut (full line pressure). This effectively sticks the box in 3rd gear, with as much line pressure as possible, to try hold the high clutch clamped shut....and so you get woeful acceleration and don't feel any shifts (because they're not happening). If you don't have Consult or some other scanner to interrogate the TCU itself, you can test with a multimeter to see if it's in limp home mode....ie; stick it in D with engine at idle (hold vehicle with hand/foot brake), and measure the voltage at the TCU feeding shift solenoids A & B -- both should be ON (battery voltage). If they are energized at the TCU, you can unplug the harness from the TCU, and check resistance down through the wiring to the solenoids themselves -- you should see about 20ohms on each coil --- if you do, you can presume the wiring to shift solenoids is OK -- if both measure open circuit, you have to check intermediate connectors in the loom down to the gearbox (and the gearbox connector itself), and check the shift solenoid resistance at the gearbox connector itself --- if the shift solenoids test open circuit here, problem is in the box (ether the solenoids or wiring to them is bad). If you get no voltage at TCU connector for the shift solenoids (and the solenoids/wiring test OK), check powers/grounds to the TCU itself --- if they're ok, it suggests the TCU is the culprit (and you'd need to interrogate it if possible, to find out why it's behaving badly)... 
    • Hey mate give Autotechnica a go, I recently got some Comfort PUs and rails from them, they're comfy and look great highly recommended! https://www.autotecnica.com.au/part-finder/nissan/skyline/r32/
    • Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.
    • Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.
