haha Terry, i will have my evo 8 mr in two days!

This will be my come back cruise to Skylines Australia...just not in a Skyline.

Can't wait, I went in 2009 (i think?) in the 34 and had lots and lots and lots of fun!!!

Hehe... I look forward to seeing your new toy Shanil!

On the cruise...

...and as Duncan alluded to...

We prefer to sight these things in...

* the rear vision mirror and...

* not through the front windscreen

:P

The exact same way they get spotted on the race track... :D

might come for a cruise down from tamworth

Cool. I am at Singleton. Would you like to go to Windsor early in the morn to meet up with them all and come back up Putty road with em? Thats what I am thinkin of doin!

thanks mate but im not sure if ill make it yet

Ok, So Jody has said that at this stage we are free, So seeing as I'm having all sorts of fun trying to find time to put the skyline together I might just come and check out this little baby in Jo's car ;) (and waste another day that could be put towards the skyzer... Skyline Nationals isn't till October), sounds like heaps of fun, and should be good to catch up with some old friends, and make some new ones!

Stay sideways kidz,

Dan.

Long range weather forecast for the Hunter is...

wait for it...

HIGH chance of rain from 21st - 24th Jan

Don't let this deter you as it does me :P

(Gemma won't wash her car for weeks now - lol)

then don't write it, tezza

ill be in provided i can get my blue slip in time! :D

Then "sneak it up to Singo"! There is a fella up here that dont even drive the cars. Passes mine for its pink slip everytime. Even with a full roll cage :thumbsup::whistling:

Well then tell her your taking her to the hunter valley for lunch. How can she say no to that!?

...and what a coincidence it is, that you are both surrounded by similar cars as you go for that country drive towards the winery? :rofl2:

    • 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.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
