Dont run too much....or you will get to see what its made of.....when you sweep it up off the floor! :rant:

Hahaha true . . . though with the numbers Im aiming for (somewhere in the 400-450's) it should be pretty safe :rant:

Coast next weekend? Since Dan's gonna be back too. But I'll still vote for Peters! (they've got really bad chips though)

You seem to live in some fantasy land inside your head anyway... so why don't you just get a burger, and talk about how good it is to be at Peter's? Problem solved... you'll convince your mind that you're eating fish and chips and we can all have our burgers.

Andy: I love my mistress too you know.

lulwhut?

the tea and coffee facilities leave a lot to be desired...

but at least the fucker has PARKING! Screw working in the CBD, I would hate to have to do that again. Especially now with all the yuppie appartments and crap! :rant:

Yeah i worked in spring hill for most of last year...that was aids

Gatton was the best, little office in the middle of a huge research farm covered in private roads, favorite moment? passing cops on the highway that kept the speed gun on me for a solid minute, them exiting and coming back past them on the private service road in a very smoky slide :rant: suck on that fokkers

your headgasket will hate anything above 18psi but apart from that the rest should be ok

Spring hill would suck too... pretty much is CBD now. Dunno how anyone could want to live there.

I find it more amusing that the EPA are complaining about going BACK to the building they came from haha. When I worked there we had the Wooloongabba office and the one on Ann st. Can't remember what number... but it's the stupid tall building that gets snow on the roof in winter (always fun).

Epic skids past cops would have been my favorite moment too I think haha

I might get to work in the CBD some time this year. We have just gotten approval to start the refurb on the Wintergarden. Dunno if they want me to go there yet but if the oppurtunity comes up I will be moving into Brisbane. Yuppie apartment ftw :rant:

mmm Will mash out a date. Weekends are generally f**ked because everyone wants to do their own thing. A Tuesday or a Wednesday would be better I reckon.

sounds like a semi formulated plan :rant:

can it be a 20 pages in an hour events thread? :D

Only you can tell us that :rant:

and one more thing... why would we want to go for fish and CHIPS, somewhere where 50% of the meal is crap?

You really worry me...

yeah 240 Ann and 288 Edward, all the ones from 288 ended up here

ahh nice. If i was there, I'm sure I'd be having german club at least 4 days a week :rant:

yeah it can be a problem July to November in 2009 we were there all the time, work was rubbish and everyone felt like shit so we just drank lots ha ha

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • 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.
