You asked me:

Dick In Ass, Gooch f**ker?

I'm quite comfortable being able to sit down without a hemorrhoid doughnut, so I said no thank you :)

You must have dicks, asses and gooches on the mind.

DIAGF = Die In A Grease Fire.

done ages ago never bothered to pick it up.. lol...

neg just new under body parts..

trying to find those air ducts that 32 33 and i think 34 gtr got... next to the rod ends.. otherwise i will have to fab up some..

Wreckers? They would be fairly easy to make. Fibreglass ftw.

Mmmmm I know what you mean. I think I'm gonna have to be careful once I land a job to NOT go stupid on little expensive pieces. The only money I'm really prepared to throw at the 32 is a paint job, and an engine transplant (and related items. fuel pumps etc). Apart from that I have to start saving for my 34 once I'm working again!! :)

ENGINE CONVERSION!

ZOMG RB26

i <3 JOHN

My money is on a Civic or FC

idk, possibly an evo (if still serious about time attack)

all 13bs are suited to rebuilds lol :P

lolz! quality post

No, I am not going to hunt back through and find it for you, but in the classifieds somebody had a set of the inner guards with the ducts for sale. I think he was in Melbourne.

Evo is a good shout as well mmm...Anybody want to get a betting pool started?

lolz! quality post

<3

You just be incredibly.... flaming :P

lmao nice :)

If I do a conversion, it'll be an RB25, or a VG30 twin turbo.

*facepalm

i was giving you big love there bro and u just killed me

are you going to strip the car and get all gtst running parts?

awd car = awd motor, hence rb26

like im sure it is possible to do it with a gtsFO - but i mean wouldnt it be easier to sell the FO and get a cheap gtst and do the conversion, or buy one with the conversion already done?

the stagea RB25 fits easily in a GTSfo

I have a soft spot for the 6s. One of the other cars I was looking at before I bought the GTR.

yeh 6s have always been my fav too! i wanted an evo 6, then wanted a gtir, then r32 lol

still want a GTiR - maybe when i finish uni, itll be a rad little car - stockish motor and and cronic suspension

If I do a conversion, it'll be an RB25, or a VG30 twin turbo.

VQ35DETT over a VG tbh. If you were going to do something awkward like a VG you would have to be mad to go past the VQ engines.

    • 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.
