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.

    • 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.
