Hey Guys I Need Your Opinions.........!


Recommended Posts

hi all, im a new member here. this forum brought me a lot of knowledge abt skylines and i really appreciate that

today i just have some thoughts i want to share and i need your opinions abt it.

i have a skyline :) and come with an insurance (racv) and it's not a comprehensive just fire&theft and third party covered. the market values cover for my car is up to 10k max~~~~~~~~ well and im totally just a newbie in this insurance stuff so plz dont throw hammers at me :D

*now, what IF i hide my car somewhere secretly and then i claim to the insurer that my car is stolen........obviously they would give me abt 20 days (i rckon) to look for my car. after that period,i reckon they would pay me the cash (!?!) or (some car with a similar values?!?!?? i dnt no) if i cant find my car....

_ AND THEN , the questions is : 1) CAN i bring the skyline to some wrecker and wreck the car apart to get some cash back ? Will the wrecker do this or they will consider that is illegal to do something to a supposed-to-be-stolen car? Because i have no idea how those wrecker shops work as well as i dont no anything about this stuff.

2) if i buy another car, would vicroad provide me the same reg plate or different 1 ?

Any opinions would be appreciated. Thank you guys !!!!!!!!!!!!

Ps : i have some personal reasons to come up to this idea.....so please don't be so mean :(

LOL, this is probably not the wisest thing to ask on a forum you "Muffin" :)

But to answer your first question, I guess if you take your car to a wrecker, they will probably take everything off your car, but won't keep anything that can be identify as a stolen car eg engine, chassis. But interior, brakes, panels, I think they would.

Honestly - Did this thought pop outta your head or your ass?

I mean come on mate - you honestly think you can sell a stolen car to a wrecker that easily?

*sigh* Every dumbass would be doing that if it was so simple.

VIN numbers, engine numbers - they will be in the database as STOLEN. No wrecker will touch it.

Add to that, if you've stripped all the VIN/Engine numbers off... No wrecker will touch that EITHER as its ILLEGAL.

No personal reason is good enough for insurance fraud which will see you in more shit than the werribee poo farm

Obvious troll is obvious, but he isn't a first time poster? lol @ personal reasons for ending up in jail. I know your personal reasons, you like to take it in the ass :)

    • 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
