We should just put a picture of a straight line and a big red cross going through it. Form the ancient secret society of the "No straight liners"

Yeah, in for a few (4), but you'd be really brave to try and use a photo with cars in it :)

Needs to be long sleeve and light cotton so not too hot. SAU logo would be great.

How about "Team Trackday - Too Good for Slogans" :)

Other option I was looking for was just an empty corner on a track but couldnt find a decent photo.

Silver after watching a member of your team trackday have a run down the straight line :bahaha:

I'd be quick to put picture of a straight line and a big red cross going through it too :bahaha: :bahaha:

Hey Buster,

I may have mis-understood, but I think your comments are really uncalled for man, especially if it is about someone here giving motorsports a go.

Now back on topic...

Carlo,

I really appreciate your effort into the Team Trackday shirt.

Can you put the Logo " Team Trackday....Following no Line!"

thanks

akira

Please PM me your phone number, as you have no idea what you're talking about and more to the point you would have to know what I paid for my black car to know how much my white car cost me

Do you know how much my black car cost me?

My comment was merely a light hearted dig in the ribs at you track guys who think there is no skill involved in straight line racing, it was not worth you jumping in and making an enemy of me who you don't know and have never met!!

I dont know you so I dont have anything against you, But if you wanna diss anyone from Team Trackday........

I'll be happy to post up the cost price of your White R33GTST at Auction in Japan and how much you overpaid for your car ;)  

In other words, if you cant say anything constructive, go post on Fast Forums where there are plenty of Ego Maniacs just like you.

akira

After stating you don't know me you then jump in and openly threaten me that you will post the cost price of my white car and that I should be posting on Fast Forums because I'm an Ego Maniac

Maybe AKIRA it is you who is the ego maniac and should be posting on Fast Four Forums as you had 3 choices

1 you could pm'd me that my post insulted you and asked me to delete it which I would of been happy to do because I am NOT an ego maniac

2 you could of emailed me and asked me to do what I've wrote above

3 you could of done nothing as you don't know me and there was no need for you to have a go at me

BUT instead of that you act like a big man with a huge EGO and openly insult me on a public forum, I hope it was worth it

Judging by your reaction, I must have mis-understood your light hearted dig to be something more than what its meant to be.

Now that you have explained your position, I am satisfied with your explaination and have no further issues.

Several people here know about your current car because they have access to auctions in Japan.

You should consider joining us in Future Trackdays. The way your car is set up it should do well too. You can even buy a T-shirt off Carlo ....;)

Carlo,

Can you print up BroTec shirts?

I would still like to know if you know how much I paid for my black car which I traded in on the white car, I bought the black car off yahoo JP so I very much doubt you would have a clue how much it cost me and would be very surprised at how cheaply I was able to get into the white car for but as you are not my friend and never will be as I don't like ego maniacs like yourself you will never know

In future posts Akira maybe you should take youyr own advice

if you cant say anything constructive, go post on Fast Forums where there are plenty of Ego Maniacs just like you.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
