Yes there are many of us in the area...

Just a suggestion though R33 Deviat - might be smart to not give street or address details or particulars in the forum... some people have learned the hard way:uh-huh:

Better safe than sorry....

Although Doc a catchup for us northies is on the cards soon i think... was discussing with stugtr (ZILLA) the other day...

Well seeing as they fixed the problem with the "homeys" hanging around at Glenrose Shops there's now a vacancy at the takeaway chicken shop tables for us! :lol:

There must be enough of us in the Forest area to organise a meet, what about next weekend somewhere.

Skyline Shops would be the most appropriate place of course :) but not much parking....Skyline KFC???

Us northern beachers rule....

There is another another guy who is not on these forums who has a gts4 who lives in forestville, im sure he would come along to anything that was planned.

I am in the red gts25-t, and im the type of guy that allways waves to other skyliners.. So if you see me wave, then... .wave back.. :)

And whats with all the cops down in the national park these days!!!! we have to move out cruise nights i think, we had about 4 cops down in the park on friday night. Its a good thing they where not down the akuna bay end.. :run:

BYBY...

When we where leaving the park some guy in some little blue car sped past us around a blind corner. Was very dodgy, I would suggest the police might have been trying to see where he went.

My olds used to run a cafe down there, I have seen quite a few accidents on those roads.

Well this is awesome to hear that we have a decent number of "SKYLINERS" around this area. I didnt think that there were that many but hey, the more the merrier!!!:uh-huh:

Doc i am happy to meet newhere as it would excellent to find out who you all are face to face!! I know kebab, BY BY, in person but to meet the rest of skyline ppl would be great!! Glenrose is a bit of a bitch, as i have had a bunch of "kids" (aka homey wannabes) hassel me there but if you say its all cleaned up around there maybe its an option!! Some suggestions i have could be as mentioned Thai at Forestville Shops (excellent food), Burger King (corner of forest way and mona vale rds).... are there ne good pizza places around frenches forest??? I was gona suggest we should all meet for all you can eat pizza hut but i forgot its now taco bell!! (Has ne1 tryied this as i havent....maybe this could be an option! Its on Warringah rd about a km after Wakehurst Parkway lights)

St. Ives isnt too far out of our boundries i suppose....:lol: i have a mate who drives a black R33 who lives there also!!!

But yea lets make this happen as i am keen to get us together! Lets make our presence know around hear and drive out all those little charade boy racers from this area!! :lol: :)

This w/end is sweet for me so lets get a definete location happenin and maybe lets book it for Sunday night as most of us are out and about on a Sat night!!!

The car park at Burger King is pretty big.... will easily hold us and many more!! May be a excellent idea as it is a good location to start a cruse if we decide to go down mona vale rd and up to palm beach or something!!!!

Yeah it is along Mona Vale rd ..... You turn right onto Mona Vale rd from Forestway Rd (fruit market place is at this intersection) and it is about 500m down on the left!!!

So r we happy to eat and meet here??

    • 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.
