This is exactly what is going to happen. Police WILL be inside the park but they will be working WITH us. This is what we are trying to achieve so the innocent don't get raped.

Yeah, I see what your saying and understand what the goal is. But this is just Aspley Maccas all over again, about 3 years ago the police and McDonalds agreed that people could meet in the carpark. A few weeks/months went by then after time the police lost intrest in being there, then it turned into a skid fest. A few weeks of this occured then the polcie are back but shutting down the carpark to do a car by car search and handing out tickets like candy. It only takes a few bad apples and your up shit creek again trying to find a new place to hang...

Like i said, I hope it works I really do. But I doubt it will. Something about "history repeating" rings a bell...

:)

Thats a good one...

AHAHAHA That does make it more romantic :P

We will do our best for the cruise scene and hopefully it all works out for both parties involved.

Remember we are looking to use the carpark for the first time on Thursday 1st November. But we need your support at the meeting with regards to what you guys need or want to be organised for the park.

MEETING -

ZILLMERE PCYC

340 Zillmere Road

7.00pm Tuesday 23rd October

SCOOBA STEEEEEEEB

I like what i've read, good work :D Hope to be out there soonskies to catch up

Cheers, Anna xo

You better come or I will lock Nikita in a cupboard for you never to see her again MWahahahaha. :P

i will be avoiding this like the plague

anywhere cars gather, with a high likely hood of a number of defects being in the same area at teh same time, the cops will not be far off;

regardless of whether or not the owners of the properties dont mind the cars being there;

defects are defects;

It is very simple dont have a car that has got defects and you wont have a problem!

exactly. if its plated and has the papers IN THE CAR to back up the plate - what is your worry??

that said I'll probably venture down in the corolla first before driving my subaru wagon down there. last time I was at aspley I got a strange look (driving the starlet) so I never went back. :worship:

an off trivia point. why was BWCP set up? the organisers didn't want the dickheads out with them when they were street racing.. (yes that was the true reason.)

I see what you are doing and if you pull it off cleanly great. bearing in mind that magnesium dr (crestmead) was another spot that lots of people gathered at and it was blocked off plenty of times and canaries handed out. (I was there a few of them and managed NOT to get one.)

another case we had back in 2002 was this: we orgainsed a 15 car cruise and set a meeting point at yatala. when we left I had to kick another 10 cars OFF the tail of us (we were all on two way radios.) out front of said meeting place before we could continue on. the police sat beside us the whole way to NSW despite us hoppping on the radio and telling them we were doing nothing wrong. (we were doing a byron run for sun up photos.) they marked us with two unmarked cars watching us the entire way thinking we were going to race. we were out for a nice under the limit drive to watch the sun come up in byron and nothing else.

as been said its the twits that spoil it. get rid of those and it works.

bearing in mind that magnesium dr (crestmead) was another spot that lots of people gathered at and it was blocked off plenty of times and canaries handed out. (I was there a few of them and managed NOT to get one.)

Yeah i even got a call one sunday morning from browns plains police accusing me of doing burnouts down there which i wasnt (was in a N13 Exa) i was there but parked and watched. since then my involvement in the car scene has been fairly limited.

likewise. I go out occasionally but thats it.

that said - who's going to clean the mess up that is left when everyone leaves. aspley parking lot is atrocious after everyone leaves.

car scene died a long long time ago, i use to venture to aspley mcdonalds for a look now and then, but got over it. it now seems to be all preteen school idiots or old guys trying to relive the 70's

good luck with it mate, hope it doesnt go sour.

EDIT

No Meeting will be held tomorrow night 23rd October 2007 at PCYC Zillmere. All systems go! There will definately be a meet Thursday, November 1st at the Toombul carpark. So see you all there! And I stress, please don't bring any wankers, because if all goes well, this will definately be an ongoing event for Thursday night cruisers. If you have Any ideas or suggestions with regards to the night, for the future, then feel free to let us know ;)

    • 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)
