Missed you? ha ha ha

Yep, it's been very quiet....... :worship:

bahaha.. i knw u do tim..

how uve been..? i see ur a member now.. u finally gave in and brought the pack.. i would buy it too only for stickers.. and only if i owned another skyrine which i will by the end of next year.. im now looking for either a BNR32 Vspec or VSpec II.. i perhaps have the money.. :) or a N1 R32 GTR.. its time to make the 180sx fully dedicated drift and tow it to the track with a GTR :(

I'm all good You?

Been a member for a few months - just took me ages to bother changing my name(s) and getting my group updated on SAU. Though I'd better make a donation too.... ;) Yeah, I just wanted the stickers!!

:(:) for the BNR32 VSpec - there was a R32 @ autosalon today which made something like ~450kw@all 4 wheels. Friggen hot machine - maybe I should upgrade too....

You coming to the mystery cruise tomorrow?

yeah bro im goood.. tierd from camping and did farking like 700kms on the 180sx and averaged 9.3L per 100kms.. YES U SKYRINES BEAT THAT... lol :):rofl:;):rofl:

yeah think im going tomorrow after breakfast at my work.. i knw the boys miss me at work lol. :rofl: going to autosalon after and perhaps that cruise.. i have to check the events section... tell me about it mate

mmmmm I dream of 9.3L economy...... I reckon I'm on about 400K per tank at the moment...which is roughly ~18L/100km!!! crap..... :worship:

lol yes i averaged 9.3L with mixed thrash (lil highway hooning) and constant 100kph zones.. that and the odd car park a normal week i get around 11L and a week wher i go to archy i get 12-12.5L the R34 GTT got around 450 per tank and got around 12.5-14 the GTR got around 12-16L

pffft 250rwkw on the old setup in the R32 and I went from Thornleigh in Sydney to just outside Coffs harbour on 38L

its easy to be fuel efficient when you make 140rwkw Marki :)

shut up andy... :worship: its putting more than 140kw i hope :(

how is the Sil80

yeah bro im goood.. tierd from camping and did farking like 700kms on the 180sx and averaged 9.3L per 100kms.. YES U SKYRINES BEAT THAT... lol :):):D:rofl:

My GF's Mirage gets 700km to a tank around town. It's a 45L tank.

I see your 9.3 and raise you 2.9 L/100

Current bid is 6.4 L/100......:rofl: Beat that you 180 bish

yeah bro im goood.. tierd from camping and did farking like 700kms on the 180sx and averaged 9.3L per 100kms.. YES U SKYRINES BEAT THAT... lol :):):D:rofl:

My car, the R33 from Brisbane to Rocky (650km's or there abouts) on one tank (100kph most of the way in 5th gear) and that on a 300rwkw tune... :rofl:

Its all in the way you drive it Mark, you should know that...

I filled her to full at Shell at Aspley, right at the start of the Bruce Highway and set out at 100kph through the night, arived in Rocky as the sun was rising round 6am and the gauge was just under a quarter of a tank. I filled her up in Rocky at the BP oppisite the Harvey Norman store and put in 57 litres... So thats 8.77l per 100km :rofl:

The other car, did Brisbane to Forster-Tuncurry (just north of Newcastle) which is about 675-700kms or there abouts also on only one tank of fuel...

The good bit is the commodore has a electronic fuel meter in the car so you can watch you fuel as you go, and the best I could get it down too was 9.0l per 100km's which i personally think is great for a 6 litre V8 which has less than 5000km's on the clock and is still wearing in atm... The range on the tank when we started the trip said 840km's, we got a solid 700 before the fuel light came on and from there we could have done at least another 75 or so k's...

But in short its all in the way you drive the car...

Actually you should ask Mud, as he drove his skyline up to Mt ISA, im sure he would have got some great economy on that trip...

marki you farken hypocrite, u dont deserve to own another skyline again...actually ur tiny bllas should be choppded off if you do :P

i wonder how the latte fags went on their 'mystery cruise' today :)

P.S i have video of the BMS gtr's on my phone, but cant upload it til tomorrow when im at work (home net is capped atm :))

i shall borrow my mates echo and face it off.. lol

yeah i knw what u mean. duh. it depends on the tune and how much air/fuel u need to cart the damn thing around.. stupid a/c slugs it down a fair bit when engaged... :P i knw of a S15 with 250kw and gets over 600kms per tank.. he does have a T04 and doesnt boost till 4k :)

but still suprised to get 9.3 considering i thrashed its lil SR titties off every set of lights.. :cheers: all the way to 60kph hahaha

on a lighter note.. i found out that halo 3 came out.. so i went and brought it and havent put the xbox controller down since 1pm.. i needed to each dinner and pee so my sis is playin.. booyah its fun.. and only EIGHTY DOWLAR.. BARGIN

lol how am i a hypocrite.. i call the GTST range slow mofos not the GTRs.. if i recall u call GTRs slow mofos unless they have 700hp plus..?? which is why ur building.. that and u have a bad eye for cars bahaha..

*zing* i missed u

    • 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)
