lol, read it again. Not handle like a Holden. Just it'd make me feel as dirty as the time I had to ride in a Holden, or if I had to ride in a Holden again. Unclean.

I'm sure they're great to drive, Colin keep on at me about that too. But it doesn't change that fact that they're a chick's car, and look like a trolley :down:

Haha fair enough :)

Yes

I'd say they saw you comin for the value of $50k then

That inc's the 3 motor's that went pop.. Re: what we were saying when I picked my R32 up.

Plus that POS was built in the early part of 2002. Lol @ us being charged 3k for a greddy plenum, even more LOL @ the APC dyno bill and even more LOL at the turbo "the brock shop" blew up, more LOL at the $5k we were changed to rebuilt each turbo

3 motor's pop . . . ouch :down:

We've made it very clear the person who built the car took us on a wild Alice in wonderland trip enjoying spending endless cash..

Ahhh k I must have missed that thread ? lol

Ahhh k I must have missed that thread ? lol

More like the last few legal "situations", threads and interesting face to face meets over the last 6 or so years..

My car is red. Redhead. Contemplated calling it Molly

It's not pretty enough for that

Oh you old men and your Alzheimer's, The offer was def there when I finally showd :)

I do not recall this offer

How much?

For you? Eleventy Billion Billion Cents ;)

For all those that weren't there. This is what it looked like when Dan rocked up in the Evo:

:down:

LOL

You do know, that car was a $100k build, right...

Joo need to give me some cash, rich bastard

evo8mr.jpg

you know... even though they put MR on the plate... still doesn't change that fact that it's a girl's car. It is still, and always will be a Lancer. The plate should say MRS >_<

LOL +1

I'd say they saw you comin for the value of $50k then

Oh SNAP.

P.S. Can you fix my noisy lifter?

Add's up when the last motor built (that was sold in the car) came to 25k... But we're also talking 2002 days.. And pricing

No idea if it's still the same motor, I'd say god knows.

Coming along nicely brah. Keep your fingers crossed for today for me (and anyone else who wants to cross their fingers) :thumbsup:

crossed

Yeah I thought it would be too but it just arrived 10 minutes ago and it is looking like the worst piece of engineering I have seen in a while. The twins have been done nicely but the rest of it is hell messy. The fuel system and boot battery are neat but engine bay...yuk. It serves a purpose though, I guess. And with over 600hp at the wheels it serves it well.

It's Josh's old car btw

i loved josh's sil

30mm spacers i see?

are you on crack? no spacers

They are a bit like dog's balls aren't they? lol

Hopefully not as obvious to our friends in blue, davey boy!

what spacers?

We've made it very clear the person who built the car took us on a wild Alice in wonderland trip enjoying spending endless cash..

theres nothing worse

*hugs

Oh... the offset is a different color from the wheel. Guess that's why it threw me too.

Ok... so everyone keep their fingers and whatnot crossed for me for TOMORROW :thumbsup:

This keeps my 100% record intact - out of all 7 cars I've owned. I've had 7 alternator problems :D

*crosses fingers for tomorrow*

P.S. - Martin & Dan: Is Saturday or Sunday better for you guys?

hey lads need a bit of help/advice

when i bought my car, it apparently has the actuating fork boot missing.. car still drives fine but there is a bit of play in the clutch pedal.. Would it be damaging anything from driving?

also are they easily replaced? (if its fairly easy to replace ill do it myself as i like saving cash rather than getting a mechanic to do it)

cheeeeeeeeeeers

P.S. - Martin & Dan: Is Saturday or Sunday better for you guys?

Also - I need to know what to buy so we have everything there. I'll do a Jay Car or Tandy run once the car is registered and get any switches/wire/fuses that we'll need.

    • 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.
