On a serious note, my car got taken back today to get the front bar repaired properly....for the 3rd time. If anyone is free next week, pm me as we may have ourselves a good ol fashioned gathering with pitchforks and torches to put some panel repairers back in line

eeeps!

.9 bar makes me sad in the pants

Lol, be happy with what you got. I'm only running 12psi as of last friday....was 7 before :banana: ....think i might go jump now

Yeah, divide by zero always awesome.

Currently on hold with tpg. Awesome.

Good luck with that dude. Worse call centre ever.... You'll wait 30mins...sometimes get hung up on when you finally get through and sometimes even when you call through it cuts out straight away cos they can't take any calls in the que even....lame

TPG has some of the best deals, but i have to admit the crappiest customer service department ever, my housemate called them the day he was leavin to get our internet disconected, and they put us on hold for 45 mins, everytime we had to call them we were put on hold for atleast 20 mins

but theyr new plans are very good in terms of what you get for what you pay,

im gona go with the adsl2+ 120GB (60+60) plan once i move in to the new place, its shaped to 512K which is way better than my previous plan which was 64K, even google would take time to load at that speed lol

response and fuel economy over powa will be tuned at 0.9 bar,

EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC FAIL

as does fuel economy on a gtr

+ 1

Save yourself the trouble and buy an Excel with a loud exhaust. Then the GTR can go to a nice loving home and be driven like she deserves.

Chalk has mad food! I'll never go there for a drink though. I'd need to remove my shoes, lose some teeth and fk my sister to fit in with the crowd there on a fri/sat night

I've seen the kind of people that go there. They'll never be getting my business.

64K, even google would take time to load at that speed lol

Why wouldn't it? Does google have some weird load time exclusions, or exceptions?

Google always took time to load on dial up at 56K so I imagine 64K would be almost the same... Images and text... it's gonna take a second or two to load...

:banana:

lol everyone wants different things out of thier cars,my cars street driven and response and fuel economy is more important to me then having 250kw is, il tune it the way i want since i am forking out so much on it, with stock turbos im quite happy with 0.9 bar of boost.

afternoon

i see another day of solid whoring in here. to save me reading all the crap, did I miss much?

well, I just read through it all and posted to catch up... So I can safely say no.

From now on I'm going to call you Brandon 2.0

in all seriousness trying to save money on fuel and other assorted things and having a GTR is a bit like wanking with sandpaper it can be done but it isnt the right way and the end result wont be as enjoyable as it should have been

This is true unless you're german, in which case this is considered to be normal and sexually stimulating.....

    • 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.
