well, I'm in the "your an idiot" camp.

But since this is about half-cuts.

My old race car was a full cut n shut, and it drove no worse than any of the other cars. Remembering that these cars were used to the *full* potential of their performance.

For those who don't support half cuts, are you 100% sure it is not as sound as a full car when done correctly, chasis straightened and inspected for other damage correctly? I thik you'll find that the welded section is stronger than the factory car....

This might be very well true when done correctly by an engineer.

but that's not always the case, and I have seen photos of several examples where in a small hit, the welds have come undone and the car has split in two along the join...

Sounds like ylwgtr2 knows what he's doing so that's good that he's helping MINES_DATSUN out...

do what gtrboy did start small

pics of my car

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wow , fairly savage comments fellas :)

The guy has crashed his car and for that I feel sorry but glad he is still posting the story to tell.I know he only seems to post in the for sale but he is still part of this forum which strangely enough is actually like a family( which I like some more than others, same as a normal family).lol

For those who have bagged him I say to lighten up. What , you all have never sped or skidded the wheels around a corner??

If you can honestly say that then you should be driving a Lada or something equally as boring :headspin:

As for fixing the car...

You all think that the cars you own are all Grade 4 , nevr been smashed , pristine one owner cars. HAAAHAAAHAAA.

Have a REAL close look and you might be surprised. A good cut and shut( and there is a few out there) is almost undetectable and surprisingly is actually stronger than factory becuase 90% of the time is fully seam welded and not just stitched ala. as in the factory.

Anyway, to Mines Datsun , you may have annoyed me with your numerous flogging stuff posts but I do feel for you with destroying a beautiful car :mad:

Cheers and commiserations

Savage comments....

Jamezilla owns a Lada & a GTR. But between me & you :D anyone that own 2 cars so far apart in character, is also know as [spelling] skitz-o-fenic ..

PS: Jamezilla, just havin a laugh mate No.H.F :)

well i say i can easly get 15K since there is lots of the car that is in fine condition. i plan to get a r32 gtr 89 model with every peny i have saved.

Fark me. Until now I had a tiny bit of respect for you because you seemed intent on driving a Gemini after this. But less than 24 hours after the accident which should have taught you the lesson of your life you're going straight back to where you came from. You are an absolute twat.

If there was an organisation I could donate money to to keep you off the streets they'd have $100 from me right now.

MINES_DATSUN

Lets be rational and serious for one moment.

Your a fcuking idiot who needs his head read.

The majority of your posts of this forum have been pathetic and a true indication of how immature you really are. Who on this earth would allow someone such as yourself behind the wheel of such a potent car with your driving attitude is well beyond me.

As with many others on this board, I worry, not for you but for other people whom you share the road with. All of which are put at great risk by your lack of care for the way you drive or those around you.

Consider yourself incredibly privelidged to have owned a GTR. If, after destroying one and damn near getting yourself killed, you make the insane decision to step into ANOTHER GTR then I hope you are banned from driving for life for this might be the only way to ensure that other cars and people are not at risk from your reckless and downright fcuked up driving attitude.

Out.

I stop and think if i was in his shoes (Thankfully im not)..but i would probably get back into a GTR if i could.

Mines, the fact that your parents are pissed at you, you have probably let both them and yourself down, wasted a lot of their money, could have hurt someone etc etc... if your going to get back behind the wheel, tone it down man.

It sounds like your fortunate enough to have the money, so take it to Calder, Phillip Island, Winton etc etc. Ans dont go bolting a roll cage in your car, just drive like a normal human being... perhaps even re-think about why you were driving like you were and whether you are seriously going to change.

    • 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)
    • 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)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
