You do know how to spell peeled right? Pealed with an A refers to ringing a bell. That's been bugging me since the first cruise I went on :geek:

lol that fits that you said that... I picked it up ages ago but then got distracted by something shiny. Even funnier that you gave us the description of 'peal' in addition :P

TECHNICALLY it's not a peel at all... it's an ugly metal structure. Gaaawwwwdd :unsure:>_<

An permanent Apple Peel thread would be good except that then we have to filter through heaps of pages and we don't know at a glance when the next one is, unless you can continuously change the thread title, but still, all that filtering. I kind of prefer it seperate :thumbsup:

serious?, what is this a grammar competition?

What's wrong with asking for clarification? I was genuinely confused. I thought there might be some hidden significance to the different spelling.

If it's a pun I don't get it.

As far as making it a permanent thread, I have to scroll through the new topics on SAU to find the latest Apple Peel/Peal post, whereas once I subscribe to a topic I get emails of every post. I find it easier that way but it's just my personal preference.

i was hoping to come in with the bf's car but he gets his licence back at midnight. maybe he will let me drive his car up. i dont have a cb radio though. Ill get back to you all and let you know if ill be coming 100% or not

lol didnt every relise the spelling..oh well next time il spell it properly. not long guys..sounds like were gunna have a decent number..weather is lookin good nice cold temp for the turbos and no fog or rain! :)

Great night and a bit of funny and annoying behaviour too haha. Weather turned out perfect.

yeah was a great night but the cops need to find something better to do that pissed bogan was comedy gold couldn't have come at a better time lol c-ya's the next time :sick: (if i'm not workin)

was a fun night... cant believe how lucky we were twice....

And Jess worked out why I was reported to the police 3 times when I was traveling to the maccas because I couldn't work it out as I was not speeding, letting the gate off or anything stupid... but then she remembered that clapped out piece of crap green ford with the green p plater and 2 passengers... they wouldnt let me pass when they were doing 70 in an 80 zone or 90 in a 100 zone and when I got a chance to overtake them they speed up to 120 as I was going to overtake... they were pretty much the only car we passed getting to maccas.

Anyway we can't head up to king lake again for a while as the cops said they are going to be there again for a while.

BTW, thanks Dean for getting us back to the area via the back way!

great night guys, had about 20 cars come to the meet, then as we left a few went home and a couple of the guys followed the ones going home but managed to meet up with us, then we hit kinglake...as we got to kinglake we saw a few other randoms that did a kinglake run, we parked our car..some of us parking abit awkard as in not between the lines...then a 4x4 cop comes...gets out asks whos car are those (pointing to the ones parking illegal) and tells us his sick of us coming up here and making noise..even thou that was pretty much our first run down kinglake...starts taking down license and regos...then 1 cop tells me to pop the bonnet and as his lookin thru the engine bay with his torch we hear a few guys yelling out from down the street "THIS IS AUSTRALIA GET SOME REAL FKN CARS..AUSSII MUSCLE ALL THE WAY..FKN SHYT RICE CRAP BLAH BLAH" as they were walking towards us and that suddenly got the cops attention, as the 3 drunk guys didnt see the big 4 x 4 cop car with massive POLICE stickers...so the cop tells all of us get out of here and dont ever come back again. so first of all id like to thank johnno for making the maps..even thou there were some mistakes :P , all the guys for attending...and big thanks to the drunk guy from the pub ;)

Ahhhh lucky this weekend was planned to do a big lot of nothing, I only just got up ;)

Drive was awesome... Cops at King Lake were so RUDE!!! The ones at Mill Park were really cool though and chatty though. I can understand why they are there, we saw quite a few tossers enter and exit the Maccas... I didn't know it was so bad.

All in all the regulars drove really well, the pace was good through Kinglake, when people start pushing it accidents start happen so it was more enjoyable to keep it contained. That was pretty much the reason why I don't like the coppers for treating us like we just murdered someone... Of course they can't see how we drive but out of all of the people on the road I don't think we were really that bad.

ps. Got home and there's a new silver commodore side swiped opposite my driveway. Turn out some young guy had an epileptic fit while driving, side swiped the car then ended up in a pole! :P The guy was ok but it's pretty scary, don't go having epileptic fits anyone!

Police knocked on the Door at about 11pm, talked to Ryan to see if anyone in the house was the owner of the Commodore. Heaps of people in the street, no pics of event but might snap some of the car, not pretty!

I think we'll have to find a new playground for a while...

    • 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.
