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:

    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • 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.
