Hey

Copyme if you claim to have 400kw + at the wheels then why didn't you try drag me a couple weeks ago. I saw you boosting around with that crazy Honda S2000 with the number plate phonix. I was in the blue R33 if you remember. anyway from the way you were pulling away from me it almost looked impossible for you to have that much power cause you were just barely pulling on me and i only got 209.9kw. WHen we got to line up you didn't even try and drag and then once i slowed down you zoom past me. whats up with that?

perhaps if he is like me, he doesnt want to drag EVERY boy racer who pulls up next to him.

I had some moron stop (yes, complete stop) in the middle of traffic in Elizabeth yesterday, wait for me to get up alongside him and wanted to drag!

not calling you directly a boyracer, but there are a lot of like minded imbeciles on the road, who have something to proove at every red light, regardless of what they have pulled up next to.

good post.

This thread really is taking on the proportions of a witch hunt.

Well i have the Dyno sheets to prove what i have at the wheels. I go cruising with those boys heaps, and well i cant remember another particular R33 wanting to drag. sorry. No offence but i probably didn't think you were enough of a challenge.

Iam back on my P-plates now and am trying to keep my license this time.

Dominik, if you want to have a drag, and have me blow ur doors off, PM during the week and we can organise a time and place to go for a quarter mile street run. Up to you dude if your trying to discredit me.

I'd hate to know exactly how much, I was working on the theory that there is too much porn on the internet, so I am going to download it all and save the rest of you. (You have to love unlimited broadband connections ) - not that ADSL crap:-)

I've e-mail and PMed you before, about more details on your Car.....yet no reply.

The information required for anyone contemplating purchase is lacking.

These days to buy a GTR's is cheap and they are as common as horse S##T.

But to transform a GTR into a real and unique car (in my terms) can be expensive, time consuming, but above all annoying, due to the assholes you have to deal with along the way and in the industry.

But consider this...on a car that is becoming COMMON the more you've spent the more you will lose....and depreciation sets in rapidly as time passes. You have to have a passion and a willingness to accept loss, when time comes to sell.

My TOYS are two at the moment.

A MY 2000 STI..... costs...about $80,000 to buy and modify (market value $36K to $40k)

A R33 GTR v-spec..... costs...stop counting (time is pissing me off)

The move to the GTR was for greater power satisfying potential (headroom).

Thinking out aloud here....I should have stroked the STI, then modified the box.

Have looked at an STI plus $50k changeover on a R34 vspec II in the Unique Mag, but only get secondhand information of interest from some empolyee and no definate answer.

Approached another MELB. dealer who also advertised a Ti. color R34 vspec with 6000k's on the clock at $89k....they never e-mailed me anything.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS INDUSTRY

No promises....but seriously more information on your Car.

A mutual price is only relevant to the facts.

Sorry i Hav'nt got an e-mail from you or a PM?! R34 GTR are not going to be a common skyline for atleast a few years, due to the restrictions on importing and lack of compliance (Bullshit!)

The blue R34 GTR V-spec II in Melbourne, is actually just a GTR, that has had a v-spec II bonnet put on it. Take it for a drive and you can tell that the vehicle has been severly crashed and had afront cut welded on to replace the damage. (Not the greatest repair job either). Pop the bonnet and you will see the non-nissan replacement parts and the bog under the radiator supports.

I have e-mailed you some pics and a list of whats been done, aswell as my contact number.

The Silver R34 GTR in Melbourne with 6000kms or so on it, is a completely standard V-spec non a bad car either.

    • 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)
    • 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)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
