Thay had a quick segment on drifting (crappy QLD head of police was on) basically saying she was concerned about the movie tokyo drift (no she had not seen it). What a crock anyway, they showed a fair bit of drifting including a quick segment providing a few A31 sliding which was cool.

Anyway was good to see, but pissed about the tone of the segment.

this always happens when movies like this come out. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon (for & against) and the industry becomes shit until people lose interest. :thumbsup:

i wanna see the segment.

the story wasn't entirely negative, Kochie gave an unbias comment, but agreed that the Qld police chick came across as a staunch monarchist "it's about those import things, asian made they are, bad, negative"

as many of you have probably seen, Boaty from DA/NS.com has left a link in a post about this segment. leave a post on there, help promote the notion that the drift community is not a bunch of hoons and wants to use race tracks to practice our hobby.

I didnt personally see the segment. I have read a heap of different posts on it tho. The problem i see with such a movie is we are going to get a heap of ricers trying to drift in stupid spots i mean isnt there somewhere in the movie showing guys drifting in car park? How many of you can see young guys drifting in such spots?

Spot on. There will be idiots that get reved up (pardon the pun) when leaving the moive. There were with the last two, so it only makes sense it will happen with this one.

Dont do it yourself and get over it.

The real problem with this movie is when the media start singling out every 16.5 year old weener thinking they are the new Kazama when they write off their mums commodore, and blame it on the 'Drift Scene' :P

Dunno if this makes sense to the topic.. Just my rant for this Americanised pos movie. Stupid Americans

Same with stuff being blamed on the drag scene. But that does ok!

Thing is dude, and you really cant deny it, a bloody lot of drifters do there stupid stuff (practice) on the street (yes I know industrial estates 1am, nothing is about doesnt disturb anyone, but its still a public road). Drifters have created their own image.

I agree drifters have made there own image but until now we have stayed underground. I mean even where im from we have stayed out of the way of the law an attention of other road users.

Hey guys, as a drifter I love the sport, Haven't yet seen the movie - I will get around to it but My first reaction was that, ALOT of f*ktards are going to get in their cars after seeing this movie and write themselves off and unfortunatly it is already happening and giving the sport many of us love a bad name.

Im not pretending to be all high and mighty, I too have done skids on public roads, never really at ridiculous speeds but all the same I have done it, late at night tucked in my own little quiet corners in industrial areas. I know lots of us do. We more or less get away with it too, some of us have lost our car because of it... the concern is when wanna be's see this and go off when they see movies like this which pumps people up...

think back to the first two movies - geez there were alot of neon lights popping up under civics EVERYWHERE and this movie will spawn the same thing only much more dangerous - I can actually see the cops and mothers everywhere concerns, coz shit when I heard about this movie these were my thoughts!

Tell ya friends to take the dori to the track, it'll make the sport grow and you ain't gonna kill anyone in the process!!

GET ON THE DORI.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
