first of all ' names brian im 15 and 7 months old..yer yer im a kid i know and u might think that i dont know anything but thats not the case. my fave skyline models are:( there is no best or worst eg top being best bottom being worst )

GT-R NISMO Z-tune - 2.8 L (bored and stroked) RB26DETT twin-turbo 500 PS (368 kW, 540 N m) ( Theoretically nobody here will ever own one of these due to only 20 made but just imagine sleeping at night knowing that this beast was in your posession ) <LI>GT-R V-Spec II Nür - As above V-Spec II + N1 motor, 300 km/h speedo. (only 750 made) ( As the above statement said about nobody probably ever owning one due to not alot made but there is 750 of these babys so.. more chance lol still abit $$$ )<LI>GT-R (R34) RB26DETT twin-turbo 332 PS (244 kW, 392 N m) (advertised as 280) ( Now these arent that hard to get at all but still very $$$ at times depending on mods+condition )<LI>GT-R (R33) RB26DETT twin-turbo DOHC 305 PS ( 224kW, 375 N m) (4WD) ( The R33 GTR is much easier to buy and find than a R34 GTR but i still dont know what one i like better )<LI>R33 GTS25T 2.5L RB25DET DOHC ( single turbo t28 ) 250 HP ( 184 Kw ' N m ) ( RWD ) ( Coupe ) ( now these might not be twin-turbo but are still alot of fun. 0-60 in roughly 6.3 seconds ' top speed sought to be 163MPH " i recon about 145MPH "but u can find that outfor yourself you can hit the tree not me =] and can hit 100 MPH in top of 3rd gear and can get one imported for as little as 12 grand )<LI>ENR33 GTS-4 - 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m) 4WD ( these seem to be very good + with 140kw from a 2.5L 4WD what more can u ask for ' im looking to buy one of these for my first car due to new laws restrictions ect. u know about em )<LI>ER33 GTS25 - 2.5 L RB25DE DOHC 190 PS (140 kW, 231 N m) ( this car is about the same as the GTS-4 but this model is a RWD car and has the same ammount of power + looks very neat and will get u from A to B before that important deadline ranges from 7800$ - to max 20000$ have to look around for these tho not alot in australia for sale much easier lookign in internet for import yards in japan )<LI>25 GT, GT-X, GT-V - 2.5 L RB25DE NEO 200 ps (147 kW) ( now these models are all R34 ' all 3 of them are non turbo putting out 200HP and about 235 N m ' also every model here comes with the carbon reducing NEO engine so u can help the earth while going back into 4th and planting it all the way to 170 =] also just because this is the last of my list of faves it dosent mean i like this the least so yer =] man i love puttin these here =] =] =] ) and these to ) ) ). So there you go u have a rough idea of what im about and the skyline models that i like . so send me your car specs and shit so we can chat because when i get my skyline ( as i will ) i will practically live on this site so i can get feedback and info about anything on skylines. remember i may only be 15 and 7 months old but i do have a passion for skylines they way they look ' in the sun ' shade ' after a wash and a buff or just the b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l-l sound of the turbine winding up as you hit 5000RPM onto 7000RPM and that feeling when u get launched back into your seat and the world around you starts melting at the top on 3rd gear ( R33 GTS25T ) . and if you are wondering if i have ever even been in a car or ect.. i have grown up with atleast 7 different skylines owned by various family members and my sibling atm owns a 1996 series 2 skyline gts25t lightly modded single turbo 340hp on 12psi.the fastest i have ever been in a car was in a 1998 GTR RB26DETT fully stock but upgraded intake and pod filter and exhaust i remember looking across at the speedo and seeing the needle at 230 for about 7 seconds and then the engine kept going for another atleast 9 seconds u suspect the car hit about 255 due to the Bridge we passed under on a long straight looking like we passed it in a jet. i might come off sounding like a kid who thinks he knows everything and has been faster then u and ect.. u get me but i havent so yer i will get the chance in the future tho to experince these things for myself behind the wheel of my own car but untill then i hope you can send me messages and ur car specs so we can chat and haggle =]! ps - Japan Is Where The Magic Happens !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SKYLINES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't you be at a party or something? That's where we all were at your age :P Only cool kids drive skylines :thumbsup:

Glad you like the cars man, and at the age of 15, you do seem to know a bit, I have mates that know less then you (luckily, they drive supras so it's ok), but you still have a long way to go...

Lesson Number 1:

Quoting the shit out of Wikipedia without paragraphs or formatting pisses me off.

Also, wikipedia isn't always 100% correct. Don't use wiki quotes to back yourself up in an argument, use first hand experience.

:)

That reminds me, it's beer o'clock! :(

wahh another young one like me!

the fastest ive been was 200km/h on the freeway with my uncle driving

i shit myself

Lol its funny because it's true:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_skyline

Every model nearly word for word........*sigh*

Kid i got some better advice, your too young to have all your money get blown week to week on a skyline, so instead, concentrate on getting a gf, that way you can also have all your money blown week to week so you know what it's like :)

wahh another young one like me!

Dun care...my uncle has a flying car, it flies in the sky!

:):P

Has 2.

Edited by madbung

welcome brother...

but yeah definitely stay in school and learn paragraphs :P

but atleast you like cars...hopefully you can one day join the ranks of skyline drivers and be as cool as some of the members on here (like doof...every word he speaks is filled with awesomeness)

:):) you doof

Dun care...my uncle has a flying car, it flies in the sky!

;):P

Has 2.

wow! does he wanna sell one?

my dad used to have a flying carpet, no joke!

its part of the whole middle eastern ethnicity package :cool:

One day you too could be like me and own a GTR!!!! :D

Just kidding mate, welcome....

[its like totally awesome your here dude!!!!!!!] :cool:

Edited by Duncan1

start saving and by the time you hit year 12 you could buy a 32/33 GTS.....although who knows, the P plate laws may get even worse.

Welcome.

Make some good use of your time by 'reading' the sticky sections in the various sections and when thinking about a question to ask use the search button first and remember to have a good read.

Have fun mate ;)

Hey mate,

I'm also around your age(a little bit older), Anyways Welcome To The Forums, However some advice don't use text message abbreviations such as yea/wat, it may not seem like a big difference but since most of the members are adults they appreciate proper language skills and typing so try your best and do it.

Secondly as Doof said you cannot beat first hand experiences not just Wikipedia.(so don't copy and paste all information) share your passion for the car by really learning and loving it!.

:):( :(

Finally if some people start saying stuff about school holidays it's just that whenever school holidays start many kids come on the forums and make many useless topics...:D don't worry i use to do this kind of stuff all the time just ignore them.

Meet some new people and make some friends.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!

    • 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.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
