Nah white.. Don't know what wheels wasn't paying that much attention. Best was the 300zx trying to do a burnout lol the wheels wouldn't even move, the. He went about half a metre forward, and tried again. Lol

At the risk of sounding old, it just isn't like the good old days. I have no real interest in attending meets anymore as the current new driver generation has no clue how to act appropriately in a public place.

i know what you mean Julyet.

i can say if it hadnt been for SAU years ago, i would have been driving around like an absolute dickhead.

learned pretty quickly from the older guys what was and wasnt on.

Think that guy was a P Plater, no surprise. (Chaser)

Yeh you're right Juliette, as soon as the first numb nut did a skid, I actually heard a couple of people say "what a f**king idiot" so I thought maybe it'll be alright, then everyone else started, so I just got in the car and left..

It's funny how they all complain that cops don't give us the benefit of the doubt and allow us to have meets and blah blah blah.. But then when a cop doesn't show up they act like fkn morons, but when a cop does rock up, it's all "ah they're such dream boats they're just trying to make more money"

Yeh I think so..

A few of my p plater mates were there telling me "everyone else is doing it so you should do a skid too" so I slapped him. Literally slapped him lol and I told him to grow up. He won't do it again

You're spot on. I just smile at everyone who complains about cop attention at meets, they made it this way! I think the last meet I tried to attend was a JDMST meet a couple of years back. Cops attended the last ones I went to and fair enough, I would to if I knew there was a high chance someone was going to do something stupid. Gone are the days of large meets where everyone just stood around and talked, chilled and appreciated eachothers cars.

private meets are the best.

eg: our end of month meets, its not plastered every where and only the regulars come. and also the stanceworks meet which is also just the regulars and nothing more.

no random fags ripping skids

These are the kind of meets that were awesome. Feb 2006 Mega Cruise with Ozcruise. We had somewhere in the vicinity of 300 cars turn up. We cruised all day. Pettet came, was pleasant to everybody, even posed for photos. We ocassionally even had a police escort. No-one was stupid, no defects were handed out. Everyone enjoyed themselves. There were Commodores, there were Rotors, there were V8's, there were turbocharged 4's, there was new and there was old. Nothing like that will ever happen again.

iphone camera needs stabilizer lens or i need softer suspension :P

I thought you were a commo when you were catching up to me just after spaghetti junc. Lights looked like vy lights. srs. Then i heard turbo. LOL

    • 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.
