Unfortunately automatic transmissions are a bit more complicated to do. To drain all the fluid out you'll need a machine to pump it out, if you do it yourself you'll never 100% drain it properly.

I've tried it before on my FTO and by using a few different methods the maximum I could get was 4.5L / 7.5L, it's a piece of mind knowing that you can get it 100% changed over.

DTM autos in geelong know how to do this (from experience)

Long way, but hey I lived in Hawthorn and went there..

I don't think there's a way to do it 'easily' though, it essentially needs to be running to flush the fluid out, and continually have new fluid put into it until everything inside it is new fluid. So if it holds 7.5L of fluid, you'll be using 10+ for a full flush as you can obviously never run the auto with zero fluid in it ;)

Thanks for that. Geelong is a bit too far for a simple automatic transmission flush haha. Yeah I figured I'd need 3 bottles (12L) for the full flush, will have to see what else is local :)

greg always does things the hard way.

the jatco auto box is actually in patrols and shit as well, any auto shop should be able to service it, its nothing special.

Lol when you get them you'll think they look really weak. Then you will question them.

Then you will question life and everything in existance and you will start growing your beard and hair because you will assume the hair dresser and clippers are out to kill you

Soon you will stop paying your mortgage and rent..

And you will be on the street warning everyone that judgement day is coming and then you will look back at what birds told you and think "I should've just driven the f**king thing"

yep. Anyone can service it. All you 'need' to do is add it at the rate you're losing it, easier said than done lol.

Also, anyone want to buy a forged RB28Neo?

Now with actual seriousness.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
