sorry Ash, but I think the Cayenne is 1000% sexier than the VW .... and does 1-100m in under 6 seconds, if I remember correctly.

As if any one would ever take there cayenne off road and use it for what it is meant for!!!!!!!

Cayenne = wank factor

Taureg = smaller wank factor

land cruiser /Patrol with lift kit = tuff 4wd that you can use for what it was meant for!!!!!!!!

Its just a pity that there are SO many 4wd's(Pajeros,Patrols,Landcruisers etc) out there that the wives drive to shopping centres and would never get a speckle of dust on them........but hey what can you do! I say make them pay more rego if used in the city, because they ARE a hazzard! IMO

It is because of these types of people --> overspoilt by their husbands, quite often blind, often asian, yuppie females who buy these toorak tractors due of thier lack of driving skills (so they kill other people instead of themselves when they run into things and then use the excuse ... ohhh i bought it so i could see over traffic and not because of my lack of driving skills !!!) that they bring out these heavily inflated and over priced vehicles..... ie your porsche 4wd and your Hummers etc.....ie the Wank Factor Range......

Wank Factor Range: Defn: Something you pay way too much for when you could get a similar item that does the job more efficiently at half the price. ie You purchase from this range for bragging rights to make your self feel like a bigger person than you actually are!!!!!!

There's more to 4wd's than just being able to hit off the off road. Towing capacity.

If you own a decent sized boat a 4wd with suitable towing capacity is your only option.

I think many would be suprised how many mums in their shopping trolleys have camper trailers, boats and caravans sitting in their shed at home.

I completely agree with the wank factor range, I can't say I would buy one if I had the money. :P

luxury goods are for wealthy people

they buy them because they LIKE the product

and they can

money for value is never the manafacturer's first priority

if u think they are overprice then u are not their target customer

full stop

when coles recycle bag can carry as much, if not, more than a LV bag

i won't call the LV bag owner has any wank factor because i can't justify to own one

      EFR7670 exhaust selection RB26

      By LegendGTR · Posted

      I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀

      Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By PranK · Posted

      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?

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
