Also, i thought you hated cruises?

So ghey..I live like 1 min away from the meeting point..So devo'd that i cant go.

Would you boyz (and girlz) be up for organising a Sunshine Coast cruise? I would be up.

Chris

Chris i dont know bout everyone else but id be more interested in a dinner cruise or go 10 pin bowling followed by a cruise or sumthin along those lines. But im sure we can organise sumthin. just let me know what you come up with and give me as much notice as possible so i can actually make it (try keep in sunday arvo or sat/fri nitesif possible)

Wes

(I) say NO. it doesnt obstruct vision, but may be a head impact issue.

i had a 5" tacho mounted in my a-pillar in my old s13, got pulled up by the popo, and they said it was FINE.

*plus ive been pulled over a few times with mine, and no popo has said squat, even when being pulled over at 2am, with 2 defi gauges blaring in my face :)

1am?? Hmmm I must have rang the wrong Chris then, my bad sorry.

I'll go to properly organised cruise with a cause (fundraising) - not weekend lapping :laughing-smiley-014:

gauges have to sit under the steering wheel to be legal.

Correct. Pillar Pods are illegal because "line of sight" "visual distraction" laws in QLD.

I have now mounted everything that illuminates bright light, such as Turbo Timer, Gauges below the steering wheel. Hey..It mightn't look as good to your friends...but it saves your a$$ from getting defects and having to pay for more donuts.

mmm....Brad has a point though....i think its up to the individual when they pull you over....Brad usually isnt a smart a$$ to them so perhaps thats why they tend to overlook it.

thats about right man. u can expect to pay around $400 for a "good" intercooler, and about $200 for the piping.

but what u can do is buy the piping kit off ebay. they're not too bad, and just wack in a good intercooler :rofl:

i highly recommend monkey warehouse:http://www.monkeywarehouse.com.au/

i got an ebay kit, but im only using about half a metre as i have a forward plenum, and none of the piping is in the engine bay..bar 20cm, so its REALLY good with heat. replaced the fmic, sold it on boostcruising, and used the cash to buy a monkey warehouse fmic.

it is really good.

Anyone seen some of the specials on Modyourcar website?

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/hybrid-gtspec...t-rb25det-p4227

How do they compare to other places?

they look expensive. i've seen Apexi SAFC Neo for $150 - $200 cheaper

    • 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?
    • 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?
    • 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.
