i wasnt serious, sif lee could afford a 2j conversion :P

no there isnt, but every little bit counts on corners. when my new car arrives i will show you what even the slightest of balance adjustments can do.

that all comes down to opinion really. whether you can afford a full blown race engine or not. if we are talking one that gets rebuilt every few races then maybe, i'd go the rb26. but for reliability i'd pick the 2j.

i think we should stop this argument, remember what happenend on boost cruising when we did this on purpose?

yeah, lee got banned :laugh:

Do I look like someone that charitable?

Nah I would get it for you but I have to be stingy on how often i refresh!

haha ok, any idea when he posted it? and what was in the title? (i assume its in the FI area)

what happened on boost cruising?

what happened on boost cruising?

i started a thread with the sole purpose of causing shit. most of the people on here got involved as well. lee ended up getting banned for saying he was f*cking a mods mother, repeteadly :laugh:

they found out eventually and closed the thread and threatened to ban me as well :P

was fun though :wave:

the topics title was: "what is better, a 2J or an RB26"

am i evil or what? it took 30 mins to get to 4 pages long. the shit fights started so quickly with us fueling them all

lol most of us wouldnt care though, we'd go along with it :laugh:

also, would look suss if there were 5 or so people starting stuff, who all joined today

bring it on i say, wouldn mind flaming soom n00bs :wave:

should go to the qld section of boost and say CB does better skids...

i dont think they would like it very much, not after my last thread on there.

also, i caused a bit of comotion with my "20v sprinter engine in a G200 charade" which i was actually seriously thinking about

lol thats cool. we were thinking of going there too. for my next one i want to take on streetcommodores.com for some fun. i think thats the site anyway. messing with bogans :laugh:

haha one of the guys at my work has a 12 sec S13

more details!

yeah..I'll be in on that one!

trouble with ns.com is I need the place to get rid of all my s13 parts and 180 parts! lol

more details!

ns is ghey! u need to have a certain amount of posts t be able to advertise shit on there! :laugh:

yeah hence why i started a gay thread and posted heaps lol

but ... i've learnt, that it's easy and better to take the s13 gear to the tip than sell it on ns.com lol.

    • 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.
