Lol such hate...

Exempt...

you need to spin the tyres faster for darker lines. Or stay in one spot for longer to leave more rubber on the ground. Try 3rd or 4th gear for more rubber on the ground. In stock form an r32 will hate this... Id reccomend a better clutch and then a bigger turbo and supporting mods.

Softer compound tyres with lower treadwear ratings might also help

have fun and remeber, theres a time and a place. Up the mountain at 3 am is fine but dont go busting huge skids in the shopping mall car park on a thursday arvo...

Mate are you just d%^& or what can't you take a hint.

bought mine so i had a decent car to be able to avoid silly little boys who think they can drive.

if ya can't do , save us all the greef.

buy yourself the wheelchair now , leave the rest of us , the tax payer and the light poles alone.

i can bet 99% of skyline owners have done a skid in there car lol, does matter what tyre you have, its heat what causes the rubber to melt and leave the marks, a skid with no wheel speed will just take rubber off and leave no mark, go to a skid pan and practice or at home in your shed, keep it off the roads, im over getting pulled up because the copper hunts skyline because there hoon cars.

pull off the line to the wastegate actuator and enjoy the next week.

OP, this is the key to making darker lines on the road!

More boost = more power = more black marks on the road.

Simple as that!

Remove the wastegate line and go nuts! Nissan only installed a wastegate as an emissions control device, like the carbon canister, it's not really necessary...

pouring a bottle of metho in the tank helps as well

Who the f**k doesn't lay the occasional snakey???

You must all have baby seats in your skylines ay.

yes i do have a baby seat, how did you know..

Oh and it will lay a way better snakey than yours too but I prefer not to ruin my car for your amusement....

EDIT..actually my work ute would lay a way better snakey than your car, man you really are a loser..

LOL so much hate, poor guy lol

Ask a stupid question, Get a stupid answer lol simple as that

I dont do static burnouts, I snapped a halfshaft last time I did one (which was the first one I'd done in ages anyway) so no I rarely do them

I find it more enjoyable when the car grips and takes off quick and drives nicely rather then sitting with my bogan friends comparing black marks.....

Eat heaps of vindaloo currys and a box of laxatives and wait 30minutes then go do skid marks galore :thumbsup:

Lol I don't think they are the sort if skid marks you can be proud of and show your friends... Then again it depends on who your friends are

I don't have a problem with burnouts, each to their own in that department, but the cops/law do have a problem with it...and every twit they catch doing burnouts on the street in a Skyline is another step back for Jap car enthusiasts who don't want the negative cop attention / the canary.

    • 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)
