:'( I am a bit of a bogan though, drink VB and drive a V8 M8! Did I mention I've been to summernats 4 times? :P

And yeah got the GS brah how come? had it 2 years still going strong love it.

just looking around with all the summernats things and all in town, blown engines came to mind and i was just looking them up.

impressive numbers and increases over stock with just software changes.

missurs was like: "I heard summernats was on this week, didnt you want to go?" strong unaware.

decided no Phillip Island for me on 1st of Feb. get car done then compete in championships.

inb4 broken driveshafts

richo convinced me last night to get off my arse, so looks like I'm entering...std 2wd class at that ;)

photos's were basically 8 million cars with heinous paint jobs, MASSIVE wheels, rubber band tyres and turbos, blowers, plenums etc sticking out of the bonnet then smoke, some fugly haggard bitches with thier tits out, more smoke and bogans in 80's shoes, white framed arnettes, thin singlet tops and what looks to be the male equivalent of pedal pushers

i went to spring nats one year..

never again..

dumbest shit ive seen, between everyone there, may have been a whole set of teeth.

also

an abo got ran over by a truck

I grew up near shepp so this was my introduction to car culture..

first few years were actually quite interesting, then turned into what hamish said, burnouts and a little dyno work,

then moved to showground from deca and it down to 30-40 entries.

been out of town past 2-3 years of it, but next time in country i'm entering the S14 just to do the motokana and demolish some V8's

haha it's not the only beer I drink, I never buy it just drink it when it's offered at family gatherings / camping / pub rounds etc. not so bad since they changed it :)

Yeah that's for sure, HUGE change after just a tune I remember the first night I took it out with dry roads after I got it tuned was a happy man.

Saw some on a facebook page before, aint missing much lol

Sorry to hear! Steal anything or just damaged the locks?

Dat northern Hawthorn life

Take anything?

Moved a few months ago, supposedly to a 'nicer' area

Alarm siren is gone from engine bay, but there's no other damage. Door locks still rooted from last time someone had a crack, must have got in through the top of the window. Interior untouched strangely enough

Just about ready to ragequit skylines

Wut?! Vb over draught? You like your water slightly beer flavoured then....

since they changed it, its a bit better. so over carlton on tap. tastes worse everytime I have a pint. sober or otherwise

good man... free beer is the best beer

Ric time to sell? I must admit since selling mine I'm far less stressed out driving feelsgoodman.jpg

I bet Alex knows dem feels too :P

And yep Hamish you're right.. I just got back from 5 days in Bright with family / friends spent barely any cash everyone was stocked up on teh VBs and happy to throw em around - free beers ftw

Anyone else getting on the big bash? (20/20) I HATE cricket but find this alright to watch, far better than the other shit.

    • 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.
