I spotted Ben in his RS260 on Port Wakefield Rd this arvo - we were in the blue Honda Accord next to you at the lights ogling your beast .... damn your car is loud! When you took off from the lights it woke my 8 month old in the back seat :( - the wife was not happy - I smiled though :):P:D mmmmm RB26 powaaaaaaahhhhhhh

think last night(?) i spotted flick on montague rd, near corner of nth east. tried to go round the block and catch up but ya lost me.

just spotted Thirty 1 :P gave a flash of my lights and way and got a toot when i pull off elizabeth st :)

beat me too it.. got a mate that lives on that street, am up there alot these days.

also on way home got a beep from sly 34 (yellow gtt) on nelson rd. sounds nice.

when i see your car at his house i will blast my air horns i tried to this afternoon but sometimes doesn't work with wheel turned

lol.. ill listen out for it. just yell loudly if it doesnt work. lol

people who drive like that in the city need a good smack in the chops, and a knee to the meat and two veg.

No shit, and at a time when there is a lot of people walking around making their way to clubs etc. Fking twat.

I have to drive my 32 into town quite often for work and drive off boost the whole time I'm in the CBD, yet thanks to fkwits like this I'm targetted by the 5-0 and count myself lucky to have not been defected yet :)

Sorry Andrew! lol! Well sorry to your wife, id expect that you would have appreciated hearing it! Funny thing is I did notice someone checking out the car but i didnt click that it was you, i was in a world of my own tho, like a 5 year old in a candy shop pretty much! lmao!

I was out doing some kms over the weekend on the fresh motor before the tunning is finished off. I just wanted to drive it, even if its only running low boost its still quicker than the gtr, and oh so much louder! lol! :woot:

yeah no worries mate - if Tyler hadn't been sleeping in the back I would have wound down the window and said hi - but I didn't want to wake him. That didn't last long though when you took off anyhow :woot: - it's all good - sounded sweet as! You got a bit of rear wheel spin as she came on boost too - very nice.

Well atleast next time you know its inevitable that it will wake anyone in a 2km radius so you may aswell say hi! lol! Yeah it does try and spin when its running in rwd, funny thing is that was only on 13psi! :woot: Im waiting to see what it will do on 23psi, but i dont rekon i'll get to try that in rwd, front shaft will be back in then! :D

Yep ... that 260 is f**king loud mate. :D

Good to see the 260 stag once again Ben. If you wanna put any more kms on the odometer, throw the car my way and I'll take care of it for you. :D

Thanks for coming out and having dinner and playing Halo 2 with us :woot: ... even if the girls were talking about wedding cakes! eek! Thinking now I should have taken my stag out instead of jumpinginto your car, so we had two black Stageas cruising Port Adelaide. Ah well, next time.

See you and Nene Friday night :D ... ssshhhhhhhhh! :(

Hey Roo, i should have gotten nene to bring the silver rs4 out, then tracy could have driven your silver one, then we would have had 2 balck and 2 silver stageas, kinda funny that between the two of us we can offically have our own stagea cruise! :woot:

That chicken was good last night, dont know why they dont show it on the menu, lucky we asked! lol

Thats being a bit of an inconsiderate anti-car pooling thing to say Ben :D Think green dude! :D

Silver Stag still needs the glass put in ... I've been lazy! BTW you should have claimed your trolley jack back last night ... its now officially mine :woot:

Ahh you dont work far from me hey Dohmar? Im GHD building (aka the ugliest building in town).

Spotted BLKSKY on Grenfell this morning

Which one is that? I have to say theres a lot of candidates for ugliest building. Is GHD number 45 or something?

Luciano works in the SA Water building which Im looking at right now from my office on the 8th floor

    • 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.
