Pretty sure I spotted matty earlier on in the hungry jacks carpark at junkfood corner.

around lunchtime sat? woulda been me, trailer in hand, helping mates move house.........moved 3 SVDs from marleston to hackham west and a cooner from marleston to virginia :)

went to mallanats yesterday ad spotted a white r32 in the carpark with a gtr wing, return flow cooler, and a defect sticker,

a fair few r33's as well, a couple white ones had gtr wings, both were s2's.

enjoyed watching the jaustech red r33 do power skids, same as the jaustech r32 gtr doing power skids.

Spotted Matty on Currie st last night. What was that guy yelling out the window? I was with the guys walking up from Electric Light... you had some dude yelling out your window at us?

Also spotted Luke in the 34 4 door last night along west tce (I think)... you had the cage in as well?

Also spotted that 68 i owe you 1 or whatever it is, blue 34 at west tce BP being a poser

Also spotted HR32 at BP west tce.

Alsooooooooo spotted a 300C getting sideways onto Currie st, was literally cm's away from a car on the curb. Very lucky. Too bad the passengers in the car were complete cup cakes.

Yep, would of been me. Have to get around to taking the cage out one day soon.

If you want Wayne, might be able to organise a day and you can see how mine look on yours, if they fit ! :P

OT Spotted Steve P on Main North heading towards town around 9:45pm

Oh dude f**king yes! Defz!!

And Dohmar, black wheels look sh!t after a few drives if you dont keep them clean because they go like a misty, pale, sh!tty black that looks really bad.

spotted a gunmetal 32 gtr and a black 34 near the happy wash in reynella about an hour ago (i was washing my car), also a horrid looking pinky orangey 34 with massive chromies, and just before a white 33 on manning rd...also got a wave from a guy in a white fd at south rd/panatalinga rd intersection

Got flashed by a silver s2 stag on the road that goes between colon aids and the train station at lunch time today. Also spotted numerous skylines around the area.

Yeah would have been about 12:30, I went to look at a car near kfc on the way home from work but it wasn't there :P.

what do u mean keep ur black wheels clean? does ur brake pads generate white brake dust? rofl

(no shit, does it? curious)

-D

brake dust turns up almost brown or copper in colour on black rims

makes them look like anus but if the cars dirty to it doesnt looks so bad lol

Ahahaha Dave! My mate was like "Hang on... what did he say? Oh wait, he's in a 4wd... I've got mad respect for him"

    • 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.
