You are as bad as me :rofl: There is no way you can remotely say that car is stock. It has custom springs on Teins, adjustable arms/bushes and swaybars. It has 2 piece rotors, has Pfc and aftermarket turbos. Its as liek callign your car std, only you have a built engine and he trades that for suspension.

LOL...crazy Victorians, i think all the BS comign from my posts is polluting your mind... If his GTR is stock then my car is stock as well, as he has more mods then me :D

...Baron, so...how many baby barons will be running around come easter?

My car is stock :D

the vic GTR may be "standard" but dont forget daves engine has done more kms that I've done japanese race queens. (ie. a lot)... lol 200,000 odd if I remember rightly.

and of corse my wheel alignment specs that work hehe

i was on some old dunlop 240-625-17 that i bought for 50 buck each. :)

i seriusly had a ball. the best bit was where i was behind the black gtr with a single. it was sooo cool to see to angry tough looking 32's menacing there way through the field. i just didnt have enough power on the straight. :sick:

the funny thing is im not a great driver and have alot to learn (i still need to get my cams licence lol) and my fastest lap was the second session i was running in on the second lap still warming up the tyres, just taking it relativly easy and taking the lines properly i think. not just nailing it everywherre and driving like its stolen lol.

anyway it was a great time and it was good to see all you out there

and special thanks to steve and sean and norm for pulling together and doing some full sik overnight parts :cheers: .

oh and just for you guys curiouse of how to make an old 26 live on the track:

i needed 2.2 litres extra oil in the sump to get rid of the oil surge i was getting.. (thank f**k for a good quick reponce oil pressure guage :P)

NSW FTW

PS. with the slicks to run at a hot 30psi cold pressues are around 17-18psi :)

oh and anna :P for putting up with the 25kph speed we did on the freeway for 80 odd kms after my cdi dropped 2 channels and was running on 2 cylinders.

and liz and bunts for keeping us company while i rent rank with a can of wd40 at the servo in a mad atempt to fix it lol.

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.

It wasnt quite in a row! The WRX was after me and I managed to avoid the carnage,I think I took note of the fact that cars were spearing off everywhere and she didnt! (Either that or I was so far off the racing line I never hit the oil lol)

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Who cares if it is HICAS or lack of traction just keep it planted :D

(PS seriously dissapointed by the lack of skids onto the straight people :nyaanyaa: )

oh and anna :dry: for putting up with the 25kph speed we did on the freeway for 80 odd kms after my cdi dropped 2 channels and was running on 2 cylinders.

and liz and bunts for keeping us company while i rent rank with a can of wd40 at the servo in a mad atempt to fix it lol.

:sleep:

I had a great day thanks to all involved!

I managed to run a 1:18 in my Vic style 'stock" R32GTST, I didnt really get the track till the last session wich is a shame but I will be making the trek again sometime soon

I was in the grey R32 GT-R with plates "RB26" and I also brought my white EVO with plates "TME" which I let all my mates drive. Anyways. Cyas around! :)

Ooo000o0o0o that was YOU! What a beautiful pair you have :nyaanyaa:

awesome day! i managed a personal best for wakefield of 1:12.1 :D

Hooray! You go boyfriend!

Alcoholics!!! The lot of ya! :dry:

Sucks I wasnt there. :) Stupid work..

Who spun out the most? :sleep:

Yeh that’s right… I had 3 bottles of vodka you could have helped me polish off!

Oh Yea.. Thanks to Liz & James (from the vic club) For ringing me in the middle of the night. Thanks Assholes

That was hilAAAAAAArious

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed!

GTR's are for nancy boys,,,braking into kink,,,what the hell was that all about. :huh:

Ya pack of skirt wearing poofs :nyaanyaa:

*zoidberg voice* HOORAY! Ahahah I still can’t believe the overnight delivery, that was fab!

No worries :) it was great fun. 60kph down hills. 20 kph up them. All the while, loud bangs and pops and groans.

oh and james for amasinly having a 2.5 inch 90 hose lyling around in his boot for my poped one :s

Yeh wtf was up with that :sleep:

Dave: *sarcastically* I need a piece of hose X long and Y wide with a 90 bend in the middle.

James: Here you go

Dave: :dry: wtf? Where did this come from?

James: It was in my boot.

the vic GTR may be "standard" but dont forget daves engine has done more kms that I've done japanese race queens. (ie. a lot)... lol 200,000 odd if I remember rightly.

    • 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)
