Sup bitches. Posting from iPhone because telstra and tpg combined to form super aids. Average weekend went out with a few mates on sat night n had a few drinks. Did all my washing n shit and then rode to burleigh heads on the pushy lol. No idea why just bored lol. Now I'm sunburnt listening to the clash and reading. Back for more work rapage tomorrow hurrah

Just keep a look out for them on forums. Maybe import monster or ebay?

+1 for TE37. Looks great + easier to clean that multis. Man your 34 is really a money pit now! Just got new rims not long ago and now you're changing again... Hahaha.

PS: you do realise for TE37s to have those dish size, you'll needa get 10.5" yah?

Just to semi correct this. Te37s don't have a lot of dish in 18s the only way to get a nice lip on them is to get the 19s. On the 18s the wider you go the more concave the spokes are. The dish stays pretty much the same.

hey guys,

posted a thread in another section, only got a few replies yet,

just thought i should ask opinions here as well,

basically My Fujistubo Titanium Cat-back as you guys now is very quiet until about 4000rpm, especially on idle etc, its mainly because of the resonator, currently it meets all DB sound levels and ive never had problems with cops etc when i get pulled over,

ive put in a high flow cat and front pipes now so that should deepen the note but sometimes especially after being in other peoples cars here feel like have a exhaust thats a bit louder below 4000rpm as well, so i was considering cutting out the resonator and putting in a straight pipe,

i am 99% sure it will be over the 90db limit once this is done, do you guys reckon its worth the extra attention from coppers and possible defects or should i just stick with what i have now, its only a 100 dollar job to do and doesnt take very long,

i havent heard what the car sounds like now after the cat and front pipes btw.

Hmmm what to get, What to get ? ? ?

You're getting a complete tune done so your car will sound different from before. Save your penny's and keep your mum happy if you can. If you've got something really restrictive I'm sure the elite one can help you with that. I took a look at your car on Friday when I was there too, coming along nicely

Thanks for that. Seen 19x10.5 +22 in real life and they have very fat dish.

Titanium? Are you sure? I've done a bit of research before and its very hard to weld steel to titanium or even titanium to titanium...

Anyone wanna buy pods or hks bovs? My friend's got a couple here for sale if anyone's interested. Got them for his silvia but didnt end up using them.

hks bov: what one? and how much?

yeh man im not relly sure if taking out the resonator is gona mean better flow?exhaust is good flowing anyway just very quiet.

you've been complaining about your exhaust volume since the day I met you. You obviously just want to do it to make it louder so just do it already and quit bitching about it and asking for approval :thumbsup:

Hey :thumbsup:

I came across this little gem in my travels that I though you all might like.

Gentlemen, I present to you the Basilica of St Mang.

haha @ Isola. lol well i was overwelmed by every1s car being so loud and mine sounded lke a corolla on idle, i actully thought something was wrong with my exhaust, only found out about Fujistubo and thier resonator crap a few weeks ago LOL

    • 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.
    • 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)
