Last year for a few months i actually worked with Marco the passenger of the red skyline. I was watching and thought i know this guy. Not sure if he still owns it but he had a black r32 gtr at the time. He's exactly the same as he was then, just needs to hold his tongue sometimes.

That show that followed seems to be a redubbed version of Destroyed in Seconds from Discovery Channel haha.

That was the most interesting today, those shock waves were awesome to watch!

i didnt think they were bad with the skyline, they weren't being rude or anything like that and he knew what was wrong with it and didnt try and be an ass about it. and i dont blame him for getting a bit angry over the dent in that chicks car, it was so obvious they didnt do it, but he probably should of calmed down a bit. it looks like a dent done by a 4 wheel drive's tow bar.

that chick was aiiiite id tap her. and those skyline guys were good they wernt ass's dont hate just coz there wog

thats a pretty out there racist accusation .... dont think anyone has said anything about there race.

I loved it how the chick got let off for not displaying p plates and having a passenger without a seatbelt, yet the skyline owner got a defect and a fine.

But hey, that's "officer's discretion" hey?

Loved the Miss copgy remark too lol. Pretty rude, but funny nonetheless.

Just watched it, & this is what I thought as well. Plus I think its only the passenger of the R33 that got a bit jumpy during the 2nd encounter I don't recall the driver doing anything stupid or making any smart ass comments at all during the 2 encounters with the cop.

The driver took it pretty well, must be used to all the cop attention & yellows. & I don't see any bad stereotypes this on Skyline drivers being promoted here, other than that they are easy targets for yellows for other cops to know.

How often to you guys get pulled over?

I have had my r32 GTR for ten years now and I may only take it out twice a months but depending where i drive i'll get stopped.

The first time I was caught with pods and given a fine and a blue slip. Now i got the pods boxed but still get pulled over and given a hard time but they haven't found anything ... yet.

I fully understand if I was doing something wrong (being a Hoon) but just driving around with my wife and daughter. I have to be careful where I drive now.

I do about 800km a week mostly around north side and east to south east side and in 1 year of owning this car, I've only been pulled over once for a random breath test and look under the hood.

They were doing a blitz at spaghetti junction and I had an unmarked follow me for a bit before pulling me over. To be honest, I don't know how long he had his lights on for because it was completely blocked by the stock wing in the mirror.

He said I "seemed like the non-hoon type" and wouldn't keep me any longer. Very reasonable cop and easy to talk to about mods I had on the car.

never been pulled over in the skyline (now i say that...)

been pulled over in the corty, asked for my licence and then talked about the car for ten mins. " i had one of these cars when i was a young bloke..."

Just finished watching the first half which I missed on TV.

gotta say, the 2 guys in the skyline handled themselves very well imo. Polite and friendly when they got pulled over, honest about being done before and putting the mods back on etc, and the passenger was having a bit of a laugh at the fact it was the same cop that got him in the past...

Then later with the lying blonde bitch, I'd be firing up like that as well if I knew some stupid bitch was talking shit to the cops in order to get what was more than likely her own bad driving paid for by someone else...Especially when I'd just been pulled over and defected moments before, not to mention being in a modified skyline etc etc...

Why wasn't the bitch charged with filing a false report?

I think because she was saying she got told by people who witnessed it..

If someone told you they saw someone reverse in to your car, you would probably cause a fuss over it too even if it ended up being false right?

Been pulled over 8 times!

Mind you i never had problems in my previous cars Integra, Mazda, ford probe etc.

Over it

If i get pulled over white "hooning" ill accept it and blame my self.

But when driving normally (each time out of the 8), i get pissed off. Last time i said to the officer "why the f*k do i always get pulled over". After a while, you have enough of their shit

Yeah, it is pretty annoying if you were doing everything right and gets pulled over ONLY coz your driving a skyline.

I mean its fair enough if you were doing something stupid.

Last time I got pulled over for a random I asked the cop why he stopped me, to which he replied, "I pull over every one of these I see".

I no longer have any respect for police officers.

Thank you for listening.

    • 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)
