Spotted a nice grey R33 on Port Wakefield Road last Saturday (about 2.30 pm)- number plate YTRYME. Lol...... Was thinking of trying but I was driving with a bunch of girls sleeping at the back of my car. Anyway, nice boost gauge at the pillar.

you drive with a bunch of girls in the back seat regularly?

I dont drive "with"... just drive :wub:

hahaha - anyway, spotted non-skylines..... a Toyota Chaser V sedan (now THATS a realman's camry!), and chatted to a 55yrold in a silver 180sx series 2 with 3-spoke mags, full zaust, very nice and subtle bodykit that accentated the lines of the coupe, etc. Nicest S2 180sx Ive ever seen. Had a laugh with him when I suggested he'd be more suited to the Stag ! cheeky :happy:

whats in it? i see it around blackwood all the time

cheers Paul.

u do... :O

u must happen to see it on the rare days i've had it on the road recently. Blowing pintara 25 spline diff/axles etc.

As Patrcik said ^^ ca18det (since it's a pintara, straight bolt in replacement from ca20), fmic, bleed valve & now spool. :D

yeah has a turbo back exhaust - stock size lmao. 180 dump & front pipe, then from cat back is custom made 2 1/4 to fit up to a 31..will go 3" one day. atm just cat in it, no resonator etc. :D

i work at blackwood tyrepower lol hence y i'm in blackwood too :) come in say hi if ya want anyday

an yeah - 120 atw in pretty on sotck boost (8 psi) with just fmic. lot more in her yet once i get shit sorted. :D

Blackwood tyrepower hey.. :)

Can you do us SAU dudes a good deal? :O

I recently priced up 2 tyres but u were too expensive compared to Typrepower in the City; they did 2 x Toyo TEO Plus for $150 each. Quite impressed with the tyre over all, and soon require another 2. I am 5 mins from blackwood so I would prefer to drive 5mins vs 20 odd to the city.

u do... :/

lol looks like a few people from blackwood way

yeah i've only seen you between tyrepower and foodland everytime i've seen ya lol during working hours so prob explains why i havent seen ya around any other times, i just saw your car and could hear that nice turbo growl and thought it was a 31 but still good car i like it :/

Paul.

whoah..got replies??

don't ask me to get prices etc..asknig darryl for a price for someone else is useless he forgets it too quick.

8370-2195 is best way :lol:

btw paulmac - it IS a 31. PJR31 is the coding on the id plate. 31 pintara's & skylines share same chassis/shell/suspension/brakes/diff housing just diff driveline mechanical parts. ;)

yeah..she's fixed now whip - spool's noisy as hell due to us just jamming various shims in to keep it tight lol.. still got heaps of problems, but..she goes ;)

    • 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.
