Haha, I wouldnt be so confident in ASC's security, a Skyline got stolen from the car park a few months ago...

Spotted R34 GT-T number plate RRR338 (or something like that) just off grenfell street around 12.30 today. If your on here, love that metallic blue colour bud.

Yeah I saw him 30 mins ago, and also last friday on franklin st... nice 34 GT in bayside blue... tho if I owned one, it'd be in a lockup garage all the time :cool: Too much of a thief magnet in the city

-D

^^ haha yeh saw that down the bay just now! But with no big white tumor anymore :D

Also spotted whiplash (pretty sure it was u!) next to me on umm greehill road i think it was, bout late 3ish. Was waving at u from a red lancer but dont think u saw me, i was right next to u :cool:

Also white 32 with SAU logo sticker on back window on tapleys hill road bout 4ish, blonde dude driving. Again was next to u in red lancer, was trying to go slow to get next to u to ask who u were lol.

Didnt get a good look but think it had gtr front bar.

Last night at the Woodcroft shopping centre i spotted a yellow 34 with a nismo kit, a wine-red four door 32 and a silver s2 33 with one bolt holding the number plate on all at about about 7-30/ 8pm.

And this afternoon at Hackham Hungry jacks i spotted a two tone blue/grey s1 33.

Hey Shaz, wasnt too sure if that was you or not! thought that you got rid of the 32, my bad... next time ill wave!

Spotted him at his work last night, first time he's been there in ages, unless he has a daily.

Also keep seeing a black R32 GTS't going south down south road near the tram line, see ya a few nights a week, when im not with the gf. Has BB plates and the 2 outside rear lights off/unplugged. Anyone on here?

Trust me ive been there lots! bout 50hr weeks... just a little defected for about 6 or so weeks! back on the road again now tho, yay!

    • 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.
