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

exhaust? pfft so last thursday

hks bov: what one? and how much?

Both pods and bovs are HKS. BOV I believe are that SSQ3 (latest one). 100 for pod and 250 for bov. All brand new.

Just on the exhaust... he really cant do it if its titanium. Someone has asked the question before about welding/cutting titanium. You'll need to find the right/same type of titanium to do that and from memory, you cant do steel to titanium.

Adam: Actually I like the Kakimoto ones. Quiet unless you're on boost + the burble is much more obivous. Anyway like Tristan said, dont bother with anything else until you're earning your own money. That way nobody can say anything.

Hey :thumbsup:

Welcome Back!

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.

Lol, I like it!

A quality performance exhaust system thats not over the legal limit? Why would you want to ruin that?

Resonators are not cr*p, people generally just leave them out to make their exhaust louder. Meh, whatever floats your boat.

It's not about how much sound you make.... i mean look at the honda's. Heaps of sound...but they don't go anywhere

Hahaha. Very true and remind me of this yellow Evo on Mains Rd yesterday. Pssst Psst!

Welcome Back!

I see what you did there. Yea they're not crap unless they're f**king restrictive. If you like sound so much maybe you should get those bov from my friend... hahaha

haha i love this i see what you did there quotes, i dont even notice that stuff haha, hmmm just wanted thoughts, i guess yeh why ruin the exhaust as brandon said if its gonna be a big job because of the titanium,leanr something new everyday :thumbsup: im quite sensitive about exhaust note , especially after the first time a copper pulled me over, he asked if anything was wrong with my car as it was too quiet for a GTR, lol. that being said they always leave me alone as they assume a 4wd spec quiet GTR probably doesnt have much done to it,

haha

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...

plated / coated bro, its base would be stainless.

work hard for your cash so you appreciate shit more, my 2cents

f**kin oath, don't just spend money cause you can. as for your coilovers, take em to someone and get the car corner weighted with you in it. better solution for the long run. and then drive it like a gtr.

After the specs on the standard bov for a rb25. Interested to see a exploded view.. see whats going on in there. If anyone has got anything could you pm me please ?

Cheers,

hey dave, can you please explain, im not too familiar with coilovers etc. you mean after we put them in, weigh to balance them correctly? oh and i would reallly really appreciate it if you could come help with putting them in, i asked tristan if he could ask you, please please :thumbsup:

The car gets driven over 4 scales, one at each wheel and they each weigh the car. Adjustments and shit are made to get a perfect balance....

oh alrite, any decent workshop should have the scales? i might ask Dan to do them, hopefully doesnt take too long, but i need to get the coilovers to him first, theyr sittin at home argh.

Yes... but Adam is obsessed with exhaust noise. He has so far talked about it EVERY time I've seen him.

Because it's not loud enough Uleh! Can't hear it over my subwoofahs bro!

Which is exactly what he wants to do.

Seriously mang, stop asking permission and just do what you want with YOUR CAR. If you want to be a show pony, louden up the exhaust. But saying that, if you only bought the car to turn heads, get rid of it, and buy a Lambo or a Ferarri or something.

just have them couriered down dude

Head Turner.

hahahaha so tru if i cum to think of it, its the why the hell is my car so quiet syndrome that hits me when im sorrounded by other skylines,

nah man im never really into turning heads stuff, i dont even head to the spit or places where people bring their "hotted up cars"my car barely clocks 300ks a week , n most of that is groceries and haircuts thats about it,the longest trip its makes every week is to chapell hill and the carwash, ive always wanted a GTR coz like i said in Qatar unless u know the king personally its next to impossible to able to get one, no matter even if your willing to pay 100grand AUD for it, just very difficult, so it means alot have one here.

at the end of the day 18 year olds will always be 18 year olds, i just happen to be one :thumbsup: ,

    • 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)
