Yep I think you may be right bout Mark-but Flav owns him and if Flav gets the shits old Marky Mark will go to Renault. Renault has the better car for Mark but Sir Frank has the better team culture for Mark

Edited by gtr660hp

Thats true-sometimes old Flav is out of the loop-oh well he still got his 200 foot boat filled with expensive piss and naked euro models-tha bastard!!!

Id like to see webber go well this weekend

I'ma bit sus on what these cars are gunna sound like with the V8-bring back the V12!!!! Fark nothin like them especially the Scuderia V12 -Santa Maria!!!!

Mind you the cossies are punchin near the 20000 rpm mark so who knows

Edited by gtr660hp

the SOB used to bang Hiedi Klum!!!

But on a Motorsport note.... i think next year the V8 sound will be insane cause thay would of had over a year to develop the engines. considering these spec engines are relativly new they are just begining to understand them. Give these guys a year of R&D and they'll hav the engines reving well over that!!

when does webber's contract run-out with williams? he's always been "owned" by flav and renault in terms of contractual dealings etc... williams had to "buy" webber off flav. i believe he is still under contract to him..... mark will do better this year, cause the williams is a much better car this year than last year. im not sure i'd say that the renault is the car which would be better suited to him, just look at barrichello, changed teams and cant drive the honda for crap! but the renault is certainly the fastest......

did anyone watch practice this arvo? i did. i have to say, Wurz and Davison were bloody impressive. if the williams can get the tyre situation sorted out, which it looks like they might be on top of, they might do surprisingly well. Patrick Head didn't give much away when they interviewed him afterwards, but he was quietly confident.

Jenson looked the goods too, but i think the renaults are holding back a little.....

Well its raining at the moment..i personally feel Webber has more then average talent in the wet...will be interestign to see if the Bridgestons have any wet weather pace though...ditto Williams.

A wet race could be the variable Williams need to bridge that performance gap

looks like bridgestone havnt got shit this year, its a maclaren renult race i reckon... i wouldnt worry too much about Button

saying that those mclarens are amazing in real life!! they way the reflect light of the paint is just sexual

P.S the V8 supercar race was pretty fcukin good today aswell...

The last few mins of qualifying was good. Kept changing and changing. I was joyed when Webber slotted into P3 with a few mins to go then all of a sudded the Renualts and Mclaren and Button must've taken some super drug cause they just shot up the slots and Webber was back down to P7.

qualifying was awesome! drama and action packed, i thought. but what about the race??? damn shame about webber, i was so disappointed. he was on for a podium, 3rd for sure. lucky theres a 3 week break now until Imola, some teams are gonna have a long and expensive repair bill. have to feel sorry for Massa and Button. for once Massa didnt take himself out of the race and jenson's last corner blow-up was so unlucky. but how good was it to have Murray Walker back commentating? i loved it. he's still the best.....

i think the last corner was the place to sit this year. schmi puts it into the wall and then montoya puts in a 180km/h drift down the front straight and managed to catch it!!

if Kimi stays at Mclaren next year with Alonso they are gonna be an unbeatable team... did you see how they both swolled up Button with no dramas?? fcukin excellent

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
