THAT is for not coming to the wash last night. Hahaha

Theres not many things > baskins meet but dream theater concert is one of them :)

Anyway John said he's thinking of doing a NA drift car.

With what money?

R31 + RB30e + spool + cut springs = NA drift car

Colin: yea whats the plan?

and jason...

where the f*ck did you get to? We got to the car wash and you weren't there... I thought you were behind us. Did you bugger off and have a nautical adventure without us? :D

I was talking to geoff. Thanks for waiting sheesh. Turned around all gone :ban: . Then remembered couldn't remember how to get there, thought got my phone in the car all good :) In the car went f_ck ! no phone. Went home :P

My first suggestion was a 31 but he turned his nose up at it. I also suggest an LS1 S13 lol but I think thats out of the budget.

I loled at the GTR not being able to lose traction statement :D

GTR + sense of security + Mountain = GTR + Trees

lol pretty much.

oh in that case he probably couldnt break traction then

Yeah he's too used to the highways in Qatar :)

the go for the weekend is I'm moving in on Saturday hopefully be done between 4-5pm then we head down to the spit for some fish n chips and chill/talk shit. Depending on what happens one of my mates might be coming down n we're going to go to a few bars n have some drinks n have a mini celebration. You're all welcome to come out for some drinks with us as well but there isn't a lot of space to crash at my place lol.

lol i must say im used to driving fast in straight lines, but the adrenaline kicked in last nite, was a bit scared because brake pads are nearly done and car wasnt breaking well, so had to use gears to slow down alot, which is hard to do on mountain twisty roads uve never seen before, but yeh i didnt relly look at the speedo alot, but tops i wuld say i did was 145 , most of the time around 120 around the twisties,

i was praying to god during the entire thing, i was lke please its stock i wana mod it, please keep it in one peice, and it worked :D , dont really wana do it again though, would prefer going around a track or drag strip rather than mountain bullshit,

since i got the car the only track its been to is the sir fred schonell drive to sir fred schonell drive 1 KM two roundabout loop :)

hey mate,

yeh me and robert were jst havin a quick chat. everythin good, oh and yeh just did a mountain run now with a mate, i have f**kin goosebumps, i hate corners, but GTR handled pretty well, still kept TRACTION most of the time loool, look at the updated sig.

you hate corners?!?!?!

sell your gtr and buy a supra.

simple.

:)

GTR + sense of security + Mountain = GTR + Trees

agreed,

or as we saw recently :)

GTR + sense of security + Mountain - GTR + Chaser + Alcohol = Chaser + Trees + Fire = no chaser

if you're going to get into it mate - id recommend you learn the braking points - how/when to brake effectively etc etc

the last thing you want to do is fry your brakes and go off the side

At the track obviously

you miss me

You know it :)

Well if timings bad for everyone we can do it Sunday either way is easy for me. Could head down to Burleigh heads or something n have a bbq there instead of the spit? I'm easy on the time so tell me what works for you guys lol

    • 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.
