I told him you might be unavailable due to hospital stuff, he wasnt worried, he will keep calling till he gets you.

Got back from hospital now. She is on some new pain killers and looks a lot better :P

the awesome part of that is that her husby got appointed as a director of our department, alongside 2 other directors of the old departments, so he gets paid lots but doesnt need to know anything about either department. I guess though to be married to Captain Blight i would want a pretty good sweetner too.

Definitely. But remember to use preferences when voting for greens, they preference to labour :P

Preference to pirate party, sex party, gamer party, and basically everyone else instead.

No I mean. You take my vote, and do it yourself. I'm not voting.

slap slap slap

Well it's going to happen eventually anyway. If not by this one, by the next one. So it's really not worth giving up part of my day and going to a school ON A WEEKEND (if it was weekday and there was JB I'd at least consider it) and wasting my time drawing on paper.

Plus I know NOTHING about politics and refuse to be one of the people who just goes in and donkey votes and screws up the system.

What difference does weekend/weekday make to a jobless bum? :P

howdy

huge morning for old tristan

- wheel alignment with roy

- 2nd wheel alignment with roy (3.5camber made my rim rub on coilover) so now 2.5camber - considering looking for some 2mm spacers if i want to try 3.5 in the future

- new wheels fitted with tyres and balanced

- daily is now insured and in transfered the rego

- i has coronas in the fridge cuz my gf is f**king rad and got me some before

- have another 1000words left in my assignment

SUP WITH YOU GUYS?!

Uni is gaids. Estimating is boring and my lecturer sucks donkey dick. I have proof.

Lol, TRD is tuning everything these days

Hopefully we wont have too many vehicles with dodgy accelerators and dangerous floor mats.

I really need some brakes, as Anna wants mine for the sil80, im thinking R33 brembos, but my mate works for a v8 ute racing team and they run alcons....but would need adapting.

hmm not sure what direction to take, this car has been all about enhancing rather than re-engineering so a bolt on fit does appeal, just not sure they will be enough though!

34 brembos or have a look at the K sport brakes? Decent budget upgrade that is being used by a few people on here without any problems.

Atomicbomberman had some impressive brembo brake calipers with him one night. Ferrari ones or some such. Dan or Martin might remember. He was putting them on his 32GTR and they looked like MORE than enough.

They were 8 pot brembos off a corvette if I remember correctly. He has 360 brakes for the rears.

I missed far too much and was going to quote everything and make an epic post but cbf now. So I'll just say Anna Bligh is f**king retarded and uni is gay.

Yeah I don't get it. Whenever I have holidays it takes me about 3 days to forget what day of the week it is. :P

I put it in there originally for the sole reason you wouldn't need to ask why a weekend/weekday was any different.

Attn Gay cowboy aka josh:

I haven't done a cambelt in a 355 but i have seen it done, you will need a hoist and a frame. Removal of the engine and rear suspension subframe is the fastest way to do it, also the easiest, in 360 and later you can remove a panel behind the drivers seat to change the belt. I can give you some names if you want it done for cheap

    • 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.
