Yeh i think you met my mate micheal or tze33 the other day. lol just have a read on here you can pick up the basics if you dont know much about the imports. :down:

yeah i did he is cool.... well im callin it a night i have a 7:00 start in the morning

baaaaaaah i thought i blew my turbo today :down: but i think it turns out some of the wiring on my avcr is just playing up, its always saying im doing 35km/hr now and never reading a positive boost.

GTS R33 im on the coast to so if i see ya around ill be sure to come say hi :)

Actually, Allara did help me work out a few settings on my AVCR....maybe you should ask her to take a look before you give the unit a throw :)

Hope you don't mind Allara....haha.. Signing you up for some free work. :down:

Cheers.

You think? Its pretty easy to tell....... Did you need someone to have a look?

lol thats all right Christian i owe will anyway lol. But i think will has some problems with the wiring thou due to a few things i noticed about his car the other day.

And Will, your stock boost gauge should still be working on the dash isnt it?

get rid of the avc-r bud

worse electronic boost controller ever made!!!!

it always spikes and can never keep a steady boost increase

either a HKS EVC or a Blitz SBC both are great products, however i don't need to run one as my car will run 14psi naturally with my exhaust and intake mods :>

the blitz sbc is alright. i wouldn't put it at the top of my Christmas list thou. I have had one in my car for a while now and i just don't seem to take that much of a fancy to it anymore.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so much laughter in that!!!!!!!!!

dude, get a real boost controller

go get a eboost2 boost controller

best one on the market ever

Most electronic boost controllers are over rated.Blitz are ok I did have one but had issues with it not wanting to work porperly with my old 33 which had just a ats hi flow turbo. it didnt like the wastgate arm being modified and the wasgate was far too small fo it.

AVCR ARE a not bad unit aswell.The boost spiking cant just be pin pointed to EBC's alot more is involved depending on your set up.

Eboost2 are from what i heard to be a reasonably good unit.Never used one but the first eboost worked very well on several cars i knew.

Best boost controller is either straight off the wastgate or a simple bleed valve...But thats just my opinion and from experiences.

naw my boost gauge on my dash wont go into positive boost, it will start at like -272 and then reach its way up to 0 but wont go any further :(

I can pay either christian or allara if yous can fix my problem or any1 else for that matter

vaccum or boost leak somewhere? is your car running ok still or running rough? check all your hoses to make sure they havent split or come off. sometimes this can play havok.

hey will, zaine and i can take a look at it if you would like, no cost of course seeming you shouted me at the drags on Saturday. Just let us know when is best for you and we can organize to get it done for you :(.

well i havent had any problems with mine so far, its works fine. nothing wrong with them.

last 2 i had would spike an extra 2 psi then what i had it set to.

and matty spry did the tunes on them and he would be by far more knowledgable on all the apexi gear.

ahh ur not quilified in any installation of anything mechanical or eletrical

so i wouldnt trust you doing any installation on any car.

but if people want to risk their lives with someone who could blow their car up, then go for it.

again, i wouldnt trust you doing a install specially after u came to me askin to help with your AUTO stalling a lot of the time and u couldnt even fix that.

nice to see u finally found someone new to scab some money off.

dont have to ask me anymore :P

    • 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)
