Typical... Scumshine.

Sorry to hear it mate... doubt i will see it out this way, so many dodgey places out west near scumshine. Probably in a chop shop by now.

Will keep the ear to the ground.

Hot looking car too... hope you get it back in one piece

That sux dude...

How did it happen, were you personally driving the car back to Tassie urself?

Was it parked near the servo or had you gone to pay for fuel?

f**kin arseholes but, it really gets me up when shit like dis happens. Makes me want to move to places like Mongolia were if someone does shit to you, you can kill em

THE BLOKE I PURCHASED IT THROUGH IMPORTED AND HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE BOAT TO DELIVER MY CAR HAD TO GET FUEL HE HAD NO PLATES ON IT SO HE HAD TO PRE-PAY BEFOREHAND AND THE BATTERY IN THE CAR WAS DEAD AS A DOOR NAIL SO HE LEFT IT RUNNING AT THE SERVO WHILE HE RAN IN AND PAYED AND AS HE CAME BACK OUT SOMEONE JUMPED IN AND TOOK OF THEY WHERE CAUGHT ON CAMERA AND ALL BUT STILL UNABLE TO TRACK THIS PERSON AND THE CAR HONESTLY I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BUT IT IS GONE... SO THEY TOOK OF IN A CAR WITH A DEAD BATTERY AND NO FUEL IN IT SO IT IS SOMEWHERE IN THAT KM RADIOUS I HOPE IN ONE PIECE.

THE BLOKE I PURCHASED IT THROUGH IMPORTED AND HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO THE BOAT TO DELIVER MY CAR HAD TO GET FUEL HE HAD NO PLATES ON IT SO HE HAD TO PRE-PAY BEFOREHAND AND THE BATTERY IN THE CAR WAS DEAD AS A DOOR NAIL SO HE LEFT IT RUNNING AT THE SERVO WHILE HE RAN IN AND PAYED

wow how convenient that all those factors made it very easy for someone to steal the car and just 'happened' to be at the servo during that 2min window (conveniently lots of mods that can be easily sold too)

Anyway I hope you get it back and in one piece.

sounds like it... most people would simply use a jerry can to refill it if 1) it has no plates 2) it has a flat battery as filling your car up while on is prohibited in every gas station

The vehicle would have already been chopped and scattered by now.

More than likely (not pointing fingers and that)

but seems to me like an inside job......hey but could be ligit too

have the police been notified?...have you paid for this yet?

Hope they get caught and get a prison sentence...

Good luck finding them

YEAH I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR IT SO THAT KINDA SUCKS, YEAH THE POLICE HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED SO IT IS LEGIT AS FAR AS I KNOW ANYWAY, THEY HAVE IT ON RECORD, YEAH THAT IS WHAT I THOUGHT BUT I THINK HE WAS JUST VERY UNLUCKY SO I GOTTA GET MY MONEY BACK WHEN HE HAS IT...

you have to wonder how he was driving to the boat if he didn't have trader plates on.. maybe it was a dodgy private importer?

YEAH IT WAS A PRIVATE IMPORTER MATE SO I DON'T KNOW BUT IT WILL GET SORTED GOT A CONTRACT ETC.

id make sure the importer know hes fully responsible/liable for the car. the car hasnt been handed over to you yet and given the circumstances, he created the situation.

THE IMPORTER BLOKE JUST TOLD ME THAT HE SAW IT IN A MECHANICS APPARENTLY BUT NOT 100% SURE YET BECAUSE WE WANNA INFORM THE POLICE WITH THE CORRECT INFORMATION SO IF SOMEONE IS DRIVING IT THEY BETTER SURRENDER IT.

Maybe you should get the police onto you IMPORTER BLOKE first lol.

Firstly he sounded dodgy, secondly he was driving the car so its his fault that he lost it.

He sounds dodgy to me. Why would you leave a GTR running at a servo when you walk in to pay for petrol, especially in Sunshine. He obviously lives in the area and knows how bad it is.

yes sounds waaay dodgey to me

as if he would drive it around without any plates on it in the first place, takes 2 mins to goto the servo to get 5L of fuel compared to a $700 oddish fine? (in nsw the car can get confiscated)

2ndly hes dumb if he doesnt know ur not allowed to leave ur car running while refueling.

id speak to a lawyer as the car was his responsibility until it was put on the boat. also im sure u didnt agree he could drive it around

Bad news mate.

Totally his fault.

You wouldn't leave it running - esp at GTR!

Sunshine is full of junkies and dodgy people, so anyone in melb would know better than to leave a car running.

Either the guy is thick as 2 planks or his mates stole it.

Either way, I would get the law chasing him down.

yeah i don't know what the deal is wether it was bad luck or planned to happen the name of the importer is damien williams i don't know if you guys have heard about him, but man i think it is absolute bs but i remember his friend wanting to buy it a week ago so i don't know what is going on there. :D

    • 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)
