shane, long story! but you`ll understand all in due time.

but seriously, its ammusing me right now and a few other ppl

lol

Whats ammusing to you John???

No ones laughing at me... Cept you...

Enough about this topic... YUou burnt the bridge buddy, im a caring sharing guy but you choose that path...

hello Isaac...

Im hard at work atm watching jackass marathon on MTV... :wave:

soo working hard then :P

let me know if more parts come available as i may just be interested.... what about your cooler piping?

So yeah Shane

Im hoping that everthing hold together... :wave:

I have to put the front half of the motor back together today and reset the timing and so forth...

Had to replace the bearings in the CAS cause they were shagged and causing thr PFC to read a very high knock level...

Nays dad had to make up a custom CAS pressing jig to press out the bearings, took 4 hours to replace the bearings...

Better than paying $450 exchange for a re-conditioned one... Its not often this occurs aparentlly and was the first time I have heard of CAS bearings flogging out... Weird...

Yeah turbo is on and mounted with many modifications to the exhaust manifold which was surposed to be bolt on...

Also have to machine a wedge to tip the turbo over a bit further to clear the rocker covers... All speed flow fittings are done and the turbo have oil and water and an oil drain...

So its off to Jack B at redcliffe tomorrow for the dump pipes to be done... Then onto Richard @ ARE to do all the alum piping from turbo to the intercooler and fromt he intercooler to the plenium...

So maby 2 weeks from now she can hit the dyno for her 300 tune... :P

awesomeness :wave:

i've stopped workin on my car, got andy's car to fix :P. but i've been thinkin, and i mite get the head ported, and install some cams, springs & gears. oh and i've decided the N1's arent going to be big enough, GT-RS's it is!

nahh, just more to it then what has been said on the public side of the forum.

long story!

Well you can tell "your" side of the story via PM :wave:

Back to whoring now...

what about your cooler piping?

They wont be much let to be honest... Most is being reused i think, but what ever is left over your more than welcome too... Ill let you know...

awesomeness :wave:

Go a big single... Much easier...

See it...

Go a big single... Much easier...

See it...

i would, but i dont want the hassle from the coppers. if i can get the power i want from low mounts (which i can), than i dont want to go a big single. plus i've got $700 worth of speedlfow fittings for the twins :wave:

    • 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.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
