Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)


Recommended Posts

do you guys wanna go see star trek at the movies instead? I've watched wolverine already so meh.

I'm at Kelvin Grove but I do work a fair bit around the Toowong area.. I have a blue 34, has nsw numberplates because I like to keep it mixed up :starwars:

If I pass another skyline I always give it a wave but 4/5 times they'll just give me a dirty look back :blush:

Chances are I've probably seen some of you around anyway... keen to meet up for dinner/beers/whatnot if it happens ;)

hey matey,

im almost in your position - i used to live on that side of town - but now im at wilston, just around the corner from kg!

next time we shud catch up first n cruise over to the otherss

Pretty... all its got when I bought it is a Trust Ti-R exhaust system and the small 18" Works Emo rims...

I'm thinking of downgrading the exhaust to something softer/legal and not have much effect on power. The others would be to get a new ecu, probably De-Jetro with Apexi PFC Boost Controller. And the most exp 1 would be to change those rims to 18" or 19" Volks TE37 or LMGT4 with proper offsets/width (current they're on 235 tyres!!!). And hopefully with these and a tune it'll gimme a safe 300kW.

Yeah for sure mate,

I just need to put the engine back in haha... I got bored and ripped out out on the weekend to do some cleaning, never ripped an engine out of a GTR before, didn't realise how much was involved so I got over putting it back in pretty quickly, resorted to driving the GF's car for the week :D

When is the next meet going to be on out of curiosity?

i see i see, imo dont butcher a v-spec r33 if its pretty stock, by going crazy with mods, that sounds good though - cant wait to check it out

in regards to the next meet not too sure hey, probs next thursday..

are you going to do anything to the motor now that its out? or just clean it?

you have too much spare time on your hands mate,

now that its out though - ill swap ya for my rb20 :D

Yea I wouldnt do anything more that that list. It just feels really laggy/sluggish now.

Anyway its just a shame that the time is always not right. Hope I'll make it the next time.

Nice mod list made.. if i was you should have a chat with PCE Performance Im sure they can work out a wicked deal for you with the ECU and other performance mods.

as for the meet most of us will be at the drift event watching astro and 32 dave. let me us know if u want to come along..i will be there when the gates open..

cheers.

Dunno if I'll make it out to QR tonight. Just got into work trying to convert my uni assignment to the right format so I can print it n bind it and the motherf**ker wont work. Might have to go home to get the original file and print it off at uni. I f**kin hate uni assignments. :verymad:

Where and what time is it? I'll see if I can make it.

Spotted green 33SUM this morning on the motorway to work this morning.

I enjoy giving boys between the ages of 5 and 10 phantom hands, and regularly do so in suburbs on the inner south.

In short, I am a dirty dirty man, and should be reported to the authorities ASAP.

    • 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)
    • 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)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
