Hi Guys,

Before mods say anything, yes i know there's 2 other threads about this, but i thought rather than bumping that and possibly not getting a reply, i would create a new thread

(i believe i did ask for them to be closed)

Anywho, due to unforseen circumstances, sadly one of my drivers has had to pull out. Meaning his R34 GT-R is also unavailable.

If anyone has an R34 GT-R that they would like to lend (you will be driving) for my wedding that would be greatly appreciated.

Details are as followed:

Date: 9th September (Wednesday)

Time: Pick up of groomsmen will be from Hills Motorlodge on Windsor Rd, Baulkham Hills @ approx 12:30-1pm (Reason for this time is this is the latest check out time we could get)

From here the groomsmen will need to be transported to Loxley On Bellbird Hill in Kurrajong.

Now the actual wedding Ceremony doesn't start until 3pm. But there may be photo's taken of your cars before hand.

And after the ceremony, there will be half hour/hour worth of photos.

Then you are free to leave.

Payment: Approx $2-300 for 4ish hours. You will also receive copies of any HI-RES photos taken on the day of your vehicle

Now i know how my other threads turned out with people asking "What about maitenance costs?", "What if there's an accident?" etc etc. If that's the only reason your going to post something in this thread, please do not bother.

It's simple really, if people want to help out, make some quick money, they will. If they don't want to. They wont.

Terry has offered his beautiful machine.

I just need one other car

Hopefully someone can help.

Nick

hey mate, i think u should try PMing moei (aka MRGTR911). Seen his car in person a few times, and it is undoubtedly one of the nicest r34 GTR's going around. He also took a mate of mines brother to his formal in it, so i dont think he would have much of an issue driving around for your wedding (assuming hes available).

also met him few days ago at GCG, car sounds pretty damn tuff on idle etc, so im certain it has balls to go with those looks.

all the best mate

Oh well...

Back to PLAN D Nick!

Booking a Test Drive from Uncle Garry at Top Secret at Blacktown...

Specifically from 12.30 to 5, 9th September... and parked most of the time to have photographs taken of it!

btw Victor bought his new R35. I wonder if he's sold his R34 GTR yet?

I'll call him Wed. Heck it's August already!! :(

Happy Horse's Birthday everybody!

Don't knock the horse! Predecessor to the motor car! :angry:

Black Widow,

I might be available on the day and i'm willing to help you on the day, PM and provide me with more details!

I've got a black R34 GT-R, enough? :P

The way you park this 'Black Beauty' means that you don't ever get gutter rash either...

hehe...

Look forward to the meeting...

And let the cameras start clicking...

Cheers, T

    • 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.
    • 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
