Here is a video of a few leaving on the Sorrento cruise.

Have never posted a video before so was not sure of the best way. Hope its OK.

Got a bit more footage, if this is ok I will post the rest next weekend.

REMOVED: Will post a more sanitised versions next week (we do live in the nanna state, don't we).

Removal of completely and utterly STUPID video link

lmao... there's only a couple of us in that vid without an atmo BOV. mad flutterz uleh.

that black car almost collected that first white R33 though... yikes.

When i viewed the first half of that clip, i thought "what a bunch of farken tools!!" :P

You are on a very busy road and there were numerous dickheads, with no regard for public safety.

YOU FARKEN IDIOTS!!!

Not sure what the others cars did, but if this is what goes on at these "unofficial cruises" then you could stick them up you ass. Hope the cops crack down at every meet point.

Note: To all the others that know how to contain themselves on public roads; sorry for the outburst, not targeted at you.

Im no angle but i agree

And to make it worse the youtube title is SAU leaving BP...Are you............

Initially I thought Al’s reply was a bit harsh, but I didn’t comment because the video was already down by the time I had a chance to view it. After watching that video I 110% agree with Al, that was an idiotic act and I genuinely hope that your car is impounded before you go hurting somebody. Don’t think I am getting on my high horse here and going on a preaching session as I know all of us have been guilty of giving the loud pedal a good workout every now and then. There is however a time and a place for this, and I can tell you right now that that time is NOT in the middle of the day and the place is DEFINETLY NOT in the middle of peak hour traffic on a main road. Come on guys, use some commonsense. I also heard what else happned on the cruise in the Sorrento car park and all I can say is lucky you guys split when you did because I have a friend who lives down there and she said it was crawling with cops minutes after you guys left.

Dear guy in white 33 at the start,

Firstly, you are a grade A douche bag. Secondly can I please have your gearbox when you crash your car doing fully sick dooooriftoooo in the middle of traffic, Tokyo Drift style (btw you can be the guy in the rx7).

Yours sincerely,

ARDIE

PS which car park do you hold your drift competitions in?

Edited by ardie

agreed, theres some pretty crazy shit goin on there! its all just showing off for the camera! but thats no excuse.

arthurs seat was crazy too.

this leads me to think, maybe we should try to organise a drift day somewhere. it would be a good chance to do some showing off, and for others to learn how to drift properly.

what do we think???

You utter and complete morons. Thanks for ruining it for the rest of the cruisers. I don't EVER want to see this type of crap posted here again. If you want to pull that sort of shit on an SAU listed cruise then next time perhaps look for another club to cruise with huh because here that behaviour just doesn't fly.

You wonder why Skylines have such a bad public image? Wonder why we are being pulled over so frequently? Go and watch that video again and have a think about what the other people on the road would be thinking..."Another f*uckn tool in a Skyline".....you f*cken morons.

Think I'm over reacting? Being a forum Nazi perhaps? Stiff. Thread closed.

    • 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)
