Tisk tisk, sounds like someone was being silly...

In other news... Andrew, SHOULD be getting my car back Tuesday (will definately know tomorrow) Your bro-in-law and you free Tuesday night for the swapsies back?

I'll just cut and paste what i wrote on NS.com

The 180 driver said he was doing 95. The cars that were ahead were going slowly in the left lane waiting for the rest of the cruise to catch up. When the 180 was going past, one of the slow cars turned into the right lane without looking causing the 180 to swerve into the left lane where the slow moving RX7 was and hence the lock up and the collision. The driver that turned into the lane and caused the accident just kept driving to the final destination.

But i was there 2 minutes after the accident happened and i didn't see it, this is what the 180 driver was saying.

And yes they are extremely lucky a truck wasn't coming the other way at 90 otherwise there would have been a death for sure.

im just making it sound bad but there were a few cars that did get defected because they are my mates... and yes it was those cars that got into an accident because i know them

Where did they get defected? Was it at the accident scene or before that?

pity about the small turn out was some nice cars there.i left early cant stand around all day talking how boring some people must have been half asleep by the time everyone left and look what happend :blink:

and this is the very reason why i dont go on cruise's

Don't blame you Deano but its a matter of just being picky which ones you go on.

I was originally contemplating this one but got turned off it last minute.

Hope the guy with the 180 has paid up his insurance because it sounds like he'll be held 100% accountable.

Hence why I don't go on cruises like this with questionable skill drivers ....

That is a HUGE hit on the 180SX - like he hit a near stationary object. Why on earth would you go slow in the left lane in a 90 zone anyhow - how dangerous is that???!!! Doesn't matter if they were waiting for others to catch up - they must have been going WAY under the speed limit for damage of that nature. Hella dangerous to themselves and all the traffic around them.

SO HOW WAS THE CRUISE!?!?!!? heard there were a few defects?? wasnt this notified to police as a 'charity' cruise?

Kiet, I am glad u didn't come to our cruise because you are being a dickhead and i don't give a shit about it. Get f**ked yourself and talking out your ass. There are no f**king defect cars and had no trouble with cops. Maybe all of your mate missed out and their 20 cars got defected afterwards? You always making up shit in your posts, threads and forums. Just MOVE ON KIET!!

How was the cruise? Big turn out? Pictures!?

The cruise was going fine as imagined, until an unfortunate mishap occurred resulting in two cars being totaled. We will post up the picture later on at EST forum.

Thanks for clearing it up and Everyone is fine now.

Thanks to those who helped out and my apologies for the incident, that is all.

Mod, Please Close This Thread.

Thanks.

ok seriously kiet u should kinda keep quiet coz u know shit all.

NO CARS GOT DEFECTED

i was in one of those cars that was in the accident and honestly it was caused by the tool in the show blue R34

if he didnt slow down for no reason and then cut infront of my mate while he is doing half the limit and my mate is doing the limit then my mate wouldnt have had to swerve and hit us.

HONESTLY if you werent there i would keep your comments to your self as the two drivers that were involved are the only two people that kno the true story.

and kiet i think u should maybe look at the facts and if your gonna say stuff maybe make sure ur there and kno wat happened

MODS PLEASE CLOSE BEFORE PEOPLE START TALKING MORE SHIT

    • 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.
