i would have stopped for you babe x

MADAZ FTW!!

stopped for my car when i broke the first trans (well the missus finished it off haha)

saw a bayside blue 34 gtr drive past me near shadow park last night around 9-10ish!

Been seeing a white R33 parked on XXXXXXX avenue in Glynde very often.... guessing the driver works their? Next question is wondering if they are on SAU?

edit: please don't identify parked cars by street name as it directs potential thieves to their exact location - suburb will do. Nightcrawler

Spotted a guy in a VP commo follow me into a service station this arvo, wind down his window and tell me how much he loves my car, and asked me how much would I sell it to him for. I said it is not for sale, but in the end everything is for sale at a price :P

Spotted Black R34 4 door P Plater on the parade about 10 minitues ago....

Undertook me pretty aggresively.... Stagea left him for dead off the lights no worries at all. Procceded to get looser's fly-by couple of hundred meters down the road, over took wrong side of road well over speed limit, with pretty close on coming car so cut infront of me and procceded to punch it spraying the front on my car with loose bits of shit from the road..... :P:D

And we wonder why we have such a bad name...... :(

ey i saw this guy aswell... oh wait i was in the passenger seat :huh: btw he had a full sick custom made terminator sticker on the back.. deff gota invest in one of they for the stag... (thumbs down)

Slightly dissapointed this guy hasnt owned up yet and Yes Ive seen him since then......

well i spotted my car at all type this arvo... and it no longer looks caved in!

in fact its almost finished lol, will post a pic soon but they got the whole dent out, no bog :P

Sweet. Good feeling i bet. How's mine looking? They/he started on it or they been busy with yours? Got all week to do mine so doesnt really matter when they start it.

Also today i spotted a stock black 33 gtst in my work car park. Was very clean. Had adrenalin (sp?) rims and WPI xxx on the plates. Was about 4.45pm. As i said, very clean.

Yeah they started on yours i believe, mines sort of a rush job because im good mates with hayden and allan, and i need the car running for this weekend's drift comp at lala. i know it kinda sucks from your point of view that i pushed in line and you want your car back on the road but fear not. they will have it done in no time and you can be rest assured with the quality of their work.

Yeh, makes sense. Doesnt really bother me, dont have a licence atm, so if its not done, its not done.. Can always pick it up a week later, but im sure it will be done by this saturday.. Kinda missing it with it not being out the back and seeing it every morning LOL

    • 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.
    • 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.
