might I add:

To the P plate driver in the silver 31 that tailgated everyone from Gepps Cross to Elizabeth:

Tailgate me like that and I will be sure to hit the brakes and let ur unsecured 6x9"s decapitate you.

Keep bogans out of skylines. Go buy a commodore you dickhead.

/Rant.

just spotted andrew's (nightcrawler) car in the shop, getting some work done ;) nice car mate

Thanks mate! She is getting there .... John is fitting the factory style cruise control today for the long drive up to Loxton. I fitted the front lip yesterday (in my trademark rattle can satin black), and put in the Alpine 12" in box and 1000W amp in yesterday too, so now she has some very nice sounds, with the Tarantula 6.5 splits I had put in a few weeks back :)

Another reason to not tailgate people (apart from the fact it is just retarded), is that speed cameras now have the capability to do you for not leaving an adequate following distance - in a 60 zone you have to be a full 2.8 seconds behind the car in front of you, otherwise they will nab you for a high $200s fine - one of the guys from Morpowa was done the other week.

spotted a whiteish cream 4door 34, with 34 gtr rims on goodwood road, then pull into bp. awesome brunette driver :)

and spotted mr dstroy going through kenihans/panalatinga intersection at about 8.20pm. Couldnt miss it with the numbers on the doors!

You. Are. Joking? f**king assholes

Spotted a nice maroon R33 with silver advanti rims parked just off Jetty rd this arvo

If it had a nismo 400R front bar sides and a D wing and a veilside rear bar this would be me. :) They were sparco racing rims tho haha.

Is yours a yellow 33 with white rims?

Pretty sure i spotted 'Black 33' going past super cheap earlier on. Sorry I pulled out so slowly, one of the car parks pulled my front bar half off..

Haha yeah that was me, came around the corner and thought F*#k me whats going on when a skyline is going so slow lol...

Hope its not too bad.

Also later on spotted a black series 2 stag turning from diagonal road onto sturt road, female driver

On way back from marion spotted a silver 33 with the led rear lights, dont like the look of them, the red led ones arent so bad

You. Are. Joking? f**king assholes

I think it's a good thing they're finally going to crack down on idiots who tailgate.

I usually solve the problem by slowing right down anyhow, that'll get rid of a tailgater!!

Spotted far to many Police up in the Reynella area today. Had my car in getting a wheel balance and had an underover sitting across the road waiting. lol. I think my car scared him off coz as soon as it came off the hoist, he looked over and stared for a bit then did a U turn and ran away. Probably coz it's legal height now.

legal height???

f*k me i havent seen it like that since i complianced it. didnt like it then either.

how does the front wheels sit inside the guards???

i know the rears can be adjusted in but front or have you put in adjustable arms??

Yeah, I agree, but what's next? Fart-o-meters to fine me if I drop one that's too loud and smelly?

    • 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.
