dang sorry guys didnt know it would take this log.

but if any one is NSW wants a box that has holes cut out already for a FMIC dori32 has a box which i sent up in error. no wait just pay him the cash and pick it up.

dori32 i ave a new box on its way for ya tomorow

Yep pretty straight forward.. although the top pipe (factory cooler piping setup) was a little hard to get right, i ended up doing a right royal mash of a job on that one lol.

+1, had to make that bigger, and afm would fit through the hole either, had to file that out. doesn't sit perfect, but im going to make it work. Cheers Ash

Just got mine now

looks pretty good :(

is someone doing instructions for these?they dont look to hard but always helps to know wat your doing

the only problem i can see with mine is that my afm seems to be mounted a bit to far towards the engine so that may have to be moved or the box adapted but other then that looks fine :)

wanna say a big thanks to Ash for setting up this group buy.

received mine early this morning, and am really happy with the product. will be fitting it in soon and will hopefully load some pictures.

Big thanks agian Ash.

Got mine today aswell.. came in the morning..

Got home from work .. lovin' life ..

trying to put it on now ..

Seems like im in the same boat as you Callan, my AFM / Pod sit way too close to the Engine.. So seems like a lil bit of chrome piping is goin' to be needed -.-

Also, on that note im going to me drilling a hole for some piping just underneath the Pod, and attatch a funnel to my bottom right of my front bar :(

Cold air intake :)

Will upload pics when im done .. probably on the weekend.

lol i think mine is just where it was mounted. I dunno will have a look but might just have to adapt the cold air box to fit cause i dunno how much more room there is in front of the pod... I need a new one anyway :P

who will be the first to put up a Tutorial with pics and what not.... that is the real question. I think ill be busy for at least a week plus i will have to fiddle with mine a bit lol

I still need to make a whole for the piping to the funnel in the front bar.. holes under neath where the pods placed..

Also need to cut holes into the box, because i got myself a blank one.

Also need to cut the box to accomodate the A/C piping and radiator overflow bottle lines.

hey good news your guys got it. dori i sent yours this arvo mate (well work did lol)

as for instruction i didnt really install one where i had to cut the holes so either wait till i do an install here in melbourne or if our good mate howie can just do a run down of how he did his with the cutting.

i have a z32 afm and didnt need to trim the afm hole so looks like theres a little difference there.

well next group buy will be with all kinks sorted out.

thanks again to all that had the patience to wait (i do get a bit lazy lol) now enjoy keeping them pods nice and cool.

received mine today ash..

looks good, fitment was tight but that's what is ideal.. bit of fiddling to make it perfect but i couldnt ask for much better

cheers

    • 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.
