So your saying tht 09 ADM R35s can be launched consistantly one after another with no gearbox issues?

Personally I don't know as I have never done it consistantly. I did also say a "few" launch controls. I will only comment on something that I know about not what I have heard around the traps. Although I don't see people whinging on here that they have blown their ADM gearbox while using launch control or blown them at all.

I agree, you only hear about the horror stories with the USDM's, where their 2009 (MY08 build) cars blew loads of trannies (refer NAGTROC forum) - and most of these after a COBB or Ecutek tune + big mods. Dodson has them all covered with uprated parts anyways.

IMO, same applies to the USDM 2010 (MY09), 2011 (MY10) and 2012 (MY11). Most are getting upgraded trannies at the same time as big mods.

I can't say I've ever heard of any ADM's going KAPOOW. I'm still not modding mine just in case though :P

I found this which would refer to 2007 built GTR's

"Early vin JDM cars had a common fault with oil pump in the transmission failing causing the box to get no oil, hence failure"

Theres this, and the circlips in the tranny have also known to fail - in fact this remains a common problem in even the 2012's

It's quite simple really. If you price cars, boats, houses etc.. at what the market is wiling to pay, they sell. Smart people know this and conclude their business quickly thereby freeing up cash to move on to their next venture and minimising losses. Other people are just dreamers and end up losing more money as they leave their car over priced and unsold for months as it continues to depreciate before their very eyes!

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
