"this is my skyline GTRRRRRRR, we've tuned her up and shes pushing aorund 1200hp at the wheels, so whats it like driving my GTRR on the streets? well its not as drivable as say a 500hp GTR on the streets, but if you really push it up on the two step and smash through the gears you can have a lot of fun"

-in car camera-

*limiter shifts through to 3rd gear on a public road in america, and by 2nd gear you cant see shit its soo blurry*

Ohhh... So Terri's her name. I should start calling her that instead, lesser formality. Huahuahuahua!

Oi Tristan! When you bring your car down the coast on Saturday? We can organize something with a few others and do just lunch and buzz off after that since you've gotta work. Adam's on sch holiday and I'm sure he'll be keen.

Dave: Adam offered to help you with your car too if you need a hand.

i gota take it down during the week - im awaiting their call so ill find out more osoooon

Yeah probably. Nobody cares if you cheat and win though. It's only when you cheat and lose that you know you fail at life.

True

pfft wasn't cheating you've got 300killerwasps. I needed to even the playing field lol :nyaanyaa:

LOL

Housewarming is a possibility will be moving in on Saturday and Sunday. Maybe come down on sunday arvo we can go get Fish n Chips at the Spit or find a quiet beach n have a BBQ? Let us know if anyone is keen.

Keen as mustard. Needs Tigs.

yeah I was thinking Peters. Terri is helping with the move so...yes she will be there. f**kin dogs...

I'm in, 100% :):P:P

back to sex gtr

Here are some quotes from Mike:

"We WILL be able to get the 60-foot times into the 1.5s or better when we get the car back to the track."

"The DSPORT RH9 GT-R will be the first true street, full-weight GT-R to run 8s on DOT radials." and he adds "even if it's through the 80mm motorcycle muffler!"

yeah well i'll keep everyone informed on what's going on. Should be able to get everything moved in on saturday. I don't have that much shit to move. Sofa, TV, Fridge and Bed are the only big things really. After that it's all fairly easy.

Who should I go to for internetz?

twin high mounts make me moist :nyaanyaa: I think I've got this dvd. Is it one of the ignition dvds? I threw all mine out on the weekend though :)

yeeh i think thats the one :P

how rad is the epic american accent he has hahaha

I'm with TPG ADSL2. Very cheap for 100GB (50/50 peak and offpeak download). Not true ADSL2 (speed wise) but its good enough for the price you're paying, 50bucks for that.

yeah its pretty funny. He f**kin hammers it on the street though, crazy motherf**ker. Best one is the old Max Power video were they have Smokey Nagata driving the Top Secret R33 GTR doing like 300km/h through a tunnel. Blasts through the tunnel then gets out n lights a smoke all chill..

Sounds good. Few people have recommended TPG so far. Looks like they're the go.

TPG or iiNet

TPG = cheap, big d/l limits. Reliability is somewhat in question, although it seems to always be improving. Could just be toowong exchange too. Customer service when something goes wrong is non-existant. Did i mention cheap?

iiNet = not as cheap but still decent value, much better reliability and customer service.

they are all like chillin at a servo smoking and eating, then next scene they are sliding up this mountain like crazy mo fos then after they all go back to the servo and grab a bite to eat - rad dudes

    • 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.
