Sticker??? Did sum one say stickers???

can i get sum stickers!!!!!

Lee, yours got posted too.

I was only given 26 in the first batch and those people that have been waiting the longest get theirs first. More stickers are being made right now!!!

Nah, I don't think my wedges would stand up to well to a bucket of oil. The sneakers were fine, I gave em a quick wash with solvol hand scrub, rinsed them off and because they are black to start with, you can hardly tell :O I really should nappi san the laces though. Poor hello kitty isn't pink anymore!

Am so :rofl:

Hey did you get the flywheel machined before putting the new clutch in?

andy had a separate clutch and flywheel ready, and that flywheel was in pretty good nic :O

but yes, whenever i do a clutch, i always get it machined

you know how i asked you to do my clutch, how much is your time worth? Carton of Beer? Bottle of Johny Walker Black? he he he if your luck maybe Blue lable?

shane about thoose cluch bolts where do i go get them from? prolly do the clutch and fly wheel in Jan....

should i buy a Needle roller and High tensile Pivot???

STICKERS!!!! YAY!!! :rofl::no:

shane... check out the pics?

certinaly did, awesome pics once again mate :wave:

Awsooooommmeee!!!

I am so over this Job!!!!

one little niggle i've found with the car, the steering. it tends to pull pretty badly and easily if ur driving on roads where there are ruts where the wheels have worn the road down. also the steering wheel isnt dead straight. a simple good wheel alignment may jut do the trick.

P.S that muffler still sucks major ass :no:

depends if i cant get my mates hoist ill have to do it on the ground again, and then if the box wants to play ball when it goes back in :wave:.

NISSAN, what car, engine & gearbox is it for? ill make a call

all u need is a new throwout bearing (which should come with the clutch), no need for a pivot, and wtf is a needle roller :O

Thats the down side of 17 and 18 inch wheels they follow the road pretty bad

:O

Yeah it needs an alignment big time wich I will be doing soon, also wider wheels with low profile tryres means tramlineing...the R32 used to do the same thing when it had those wheels, the price you pay for having sexeh wheels

Thats the down side of 17 and 18 inch wheels they follow the road pretty bad

HI5

PS the muffler isnt a rice cannon that every man and his excell has, it attracts no attention and still flows the same due to the fact that the cross section area is the same as a large tip....if it fitted the R32 I would have swapped in an instant, the R32 one shits me no end

ohh yeh!

got to get new tyres this wknd too!

anyone know of anywhere good thats open on a saturday to get a good set of tyres at a good price?

Kieth 4 Wheels Springwood

Being my stepdads brother has a bit to do with my response, but he is well priced

Not after a rice mobile....just purposeful

Tredz international

I got bridgstone tyres in pretty good nick for $80 each

Where as new crap nankangs were going to cost over $1000 these prices are for 18s but

But tredz dont fit so you will have to book someone to fit them too

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • 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) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • 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)
