So who won? NSW?

Ive spoken to one of the head Vic guys and he agreed NSW had it

But he was drunk (arent they all :wave: ) so that debate will start when they all get back to their computers

Dave was pretty funny with his ECU having a bad hair day and dying, then still managing to do some of the fastest laps of the day (there was an open wheeler class). He even pushed a few of them off the track, not literally, he was right behind a few of them at different times throughout the day and the pressure of a welshman must've been all too much resulting in a few people in the dirt :)

Alcoholics!!! The lot of ya! :huh:

Sucks I wasnt there. :( Stupid work..

Who spun out the most? :)

Who spun out the most? :wave:

Dont start on the booze, there was more than ample :(

Im not sure who spun the most, its normally you :huh:

this time around, I spun out the most.....5 times

the poor v35 shat itself on the track after a couple of lap, what a way to spend $90

after spending the day being raped by GTRs around corners and straights, I am definitely impressed with the way these things go around corners, the speed out of these corners is unreal.

So Chris (white 33 gtr) was the fastest from vic? his car is nearly stock guys :D and you needed a t04z to keep up ? :rofl: wait till you see GTREAL (silver 33) and aarons white 34 at EC.

(gotta start the kb warrior stuff since i can't be there) :)

You do know the V35's oil patch on the braking point on the back straight caused major dramas?

I came off hard there and scratched a rim, the WRX went into the Marshalls booth, the Clio almost hit the wall and the MX-5 and EVO slid into pitt lane!!!

All in a row, like dominos!!!

My GT-R still isn't sorted, so laggy but was doing 1.11's.

there were SO MANY tough GTRs there, it was just crazy. I remember being at wakefield a few month back for the Official track day, most of them were gtst but yesterday it was like the big boys coming out to play. They should've taken a photo of all the grey GTRs together, they were all doing around the 1.10-12s.

ONLY 5? Thats shamefull! nono.gif Shoulda done more.. :rofl:

hahhah hey i still needed to do some good laps too you know.....but the morning session I was spinning out every couple of laps from the cold track...and you should've all seen my half assed attempt at drifting and some countersteer and not having a clue wtf I was doing.

I have finally had enough of the fked up HICAS

the hicas is working as it should, it's just I don't like the feel of it anymore, it's unsettling, I couldn't tell if I was loosing traction or the Hicas kicking in, but I managed and it was fun nonetheless.........U SHOULD'VE ALL BEEN THERE, it was FUN FUN FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

That thing was pretty quick for an N/A but every time it went past it felt like my ear drum exploded i got a couple of pics up. have a few more at home

did anyone get some photos of the ugly and stupidly loud black Silvia? :whistling:

Ferni, listen to the excuses fly. The std GTR has twin aftermarket turbos, ECU, bigger injectors. Very well sorted suspension, aftermarket rotors, and runs 18" semi slicks...i love how you VIc guys say thats std?????

Take it like the mice you are. NSW WIN @ Wakefield. If the R32 was there you would have seen it punch out a 1:08 :whistling:

The evo's would dominate the lines at Wakefield... When i was there 2 weeks ago a blue one was pulling 1.08's and the odd 1.07 all day :whistling: it was bloody quick

Take it like the mice you are. NSW WIN @ Wakefield. If the R32 was there you would have seen it punch out a 1:08 :rant:

    • 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)
