I'm talking about the tray under the main floor, on top of the spare wheel well. I have heaps of crap on that. Have to compromise on something if I want a sub though :(

Pete hasn't done an M35 one yet so I'm sure he can make it however you need, most M35 owners will want something fairly practical I think?

Yup I need that tray above the spare wheel also

Keen as for this one .. Sooner the better! Was Spewin I missed Sundays Cruz !! Was ready to go right up2 few days b4! Could not even make 1st stop!

Twisties..pub lunch.. Chicken shop.. All sounds good!

Off topic ..

Put a custom twin 12inch in the back of my C34 so can still put leather boot cover to hide it And Amps n cap mounted behind rear seats so u can't c them.. All comp speakers behind stock grills n dyno matted doors! Sounds good an no one can c if they look in ! :thumbsup:

Looking through the list I believe the 10th would work best for everyone except Mat - is there no way that you could get the day off? SAU sucks, can't edit the first post and make a poll. :rolleyes:

Nah not really I do shift work so it's hard to get days off especially in December because everyone takes it off...ah well I'll hopefully be able to catch you guys on the next one or possibly maybe have a meet up get a feed talk a bit of bullshit?

The last cruise had too much traffic. Start time was pushed back to avoid Christmas pagents, but we still had epic traffic to deal with.

I'd want to start at about 10, but I could do 11.30.

hmmm would help to have a set start time and a set meet point and a route worked out ????? just my 2c seems its thurs already , not sure if ill make this one got some work to do on the old girl first dont know if ill have time. Hey big kev why does sunday traffic bother you it is all going about same pace as you anyway :nyaanyaa: lol

LOL last cruise details were sent out Friday morning.

Route and stuff isn't hard to sort out, it's just hard to find a time when everyone is keen. Sunday traffic is always rife, I figure any Sunday cruise is going to be a slow one. Can you even go for a punt in the hills nowadays? You'd be crazy to risk it at day time..

Depends on how stupid you want to be. You can't be too stupid on an open public road at any time.

If you're doing it this weekend pick a time and meet point and see how many can turn up. I should be right, I'll probably give it a go anyway. As long as we don't have more 40/80/40/80/40/80 baulking/accelerating sessions, I'm happy.

If Steven gets time to look at my car we'll be able to come, but at this stage i'm a maybe. Had to have my car towed today after everything stopped working mid-drive, suspected a dead fuel pump but it also has something to do with some other electrical issues :(

By "go for a punt" I mean accidentally do a few km's over the speed limit and get booked a few hundred dollars for speeding and "street racing". :rolleyes:

Drive in the hills? Stare at your speedo, not where you're going.

Get a sense of humour chaps. next time we can all sit on 60 in an 80 zone and avoid accelerating and breaking altogether or even better could just sit in a car park and not drive at all waah waah waah lol. and start time and place and route where all organised well b4 Fri morning just not sent out till then for normal reasons ahhh got to love the internet .was not trying to have a bitch just saying its better to just organise a time and place coz your never going to pls everyone . flame suit on

    • 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.
