Hey Boost,

Dunno if it was yours or not but i was talking to my mate and he said that today at around lunchtime he saw a White R33, white rims, with a cracked front bar and a damaged fender driving on Alexander drive, just past Grand Prom, he said he was driving like an idiot.

I only told him about it today otherwise if it was your car he would have stoped him

Kris

Almost rear ended someone today

Saw a white s2 and was neck turnin to read the plates

If its a black and red advans rims then its mine then.....

However, today at about 1.25 pm on the way to pick up my fren, my GF swears she saw the now infamous white R33! It was on Risely st. on the way to Booragoon.....Couldn't turn around to follow it as we were at opposite traffic lights going it opposite direction.

The plot thickens...................

Thanks for lookin out ppl, all i can say is ram for your life, i know Joe would if he saw it...

Anyway time for me to start searching for a new skyline...its been stolen the same amount of time i had it on the road now. (1 month), also tonight (tuesday morning) is 1 month ago since it happened except this time im home and armed, damn what a sh1t month its been. Troy, insurance are being difficult, they were supposed to pay out last monday, but are obviously trying every trick in the book not to pay up, really poor after we pay all these insurance premiums :) ... getting vibes theyre implying we stole our own car *shakes head* f**kin idiots.

Well the dog c*** that stole my car has been caught by police, but the car has already been stripped... no need to look out for it on the road anymore, thanks to all that did though, time to start searching for a new car once insurance comes through, which should have been 2 weeks ago :D. The guy got his house raided by cops and they found a photo of him and his accomplice standing in front of the car, the stupid f**kers. Anyway i dont know much detail yet, (how they knew it was him, where or when it was found, what has been recovered, etc) waiting for a phone call. So be wary of cheap R33 GTS25t (RB25DET 5spd) parts on the market in Perth or interstate. Aftermarket parts include:

Kakimoto Racing full exhaust

KYB Buzz Spec damper adjustable shocks (purple)

Weds Sport white 16" rims

FET front strut tower brace

FET turbo timer

Skyline Spec 2 factory rear strut brace

APEXi Super intake air filter

APEXi Rev Speed Meter (not blue screen model)

cheers,

Chris.

Well good and bad news then Chris.

I spose in a way youd rather have a new car coz god knows what these d*ckheads did to it but what a major hassle. Hope they get the book thrown at them big time.

Also hahaha f*cking dumb pr*cks taking photos of themselves in with the car........ sounds like your typical car thieves intelligence..... IQ less than 33 im sure.

Has the insurance company coughed up yet or they still being w*ankers?

Ben

hey chris, well bad news that your car was striped but atleast the idi0t who stole it should be put behind bars :D

i got pulled over the other day, and guess what`` the guys that pulled me over wer the same cops that chased your 33 awhile back ... they wer telling me how they couldnt keep up with it under acceleration and asked me if the 33 was 4wd coz the car was sticking to the ground while their commo was all over the place haha`

+

he gave me the usual chek under the hood, breath test, and search for weapons [i dont kno if other ppl get that one, but i alwayz get it]

i get pulled over alot, compared to some of the people i know` i dont know why either ...

pretty much every weekend, unless im lucky enough not to pass by cops :D

i got pulled over yesterday at 7:40 in the morning, while driving to uni! :D and i got searched and fined for no 'p' up [but no breath test hehe]

JiMiH... P plater + R34 = cop bait :uh-huh:

Jase.. lol you're always gettin pulled over, at least you havent got a yellow sticker for exhaust and pod yet, if they wanted to they could.

update on my car: thief sold it to somebody who has stripped it, police dont know who that is yet.

    • 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)
