spot BLKSKY sometimes in the morning around 8 on south road/richmond road intersection.

My usual route to work... :teehee: were you in a black 33 ?? a few skylines use that route as well to work i suppose during that particular hour. And if you see me boosting like nuts, that means i'm late to work!!! HAhahahaha

Hi Nick and all you guys and girls out there

I'm new to this site and this is my very first post.

That was my R34 GT-R 'V Spec' that you saw near Pasadena.

I flew to Sydney a couple of weeks ago and bought it then drove it back.

Tein suspension so I felt every stone I drove over but what a head rush whenever I had to overtake someone on those big freeways.

You'll probably see it around alot more now with the NSW plates until I can get it through inspection.

Cheers Pete

No car spotting but person spotting here, a couple of SAUers at the Classics Street Party on Fri night!! Saw Tim rocking it around while i was walking and also Simon and his missus were checking out the 2 Rx7's out the front of Hogs Breath!! I was out the front getting rowdy at Hogs Breath, got a killa table booked out the front with buckets of TEDS......lol was a good night as always!!

I met 32 GTR on goodwood road in the slow ass moving traffic on my drive home from work, wow your car is so straight and CLEAN !! omg, put my car to shame cos it was soooo dirty.... went straight home and washed it :D

Hey, sorry, havnt been on here for ages.. Thanks mate, had actually just washed it the night before. Had Just picked it up from that hyde park auto place (was in getting front driveshafts fixed .. Finally) Might have seen me pull out of the street just before the tram line. Your Cars got a wicked sound to it :P

Didnt even notice your car was dirty lol and yeh, traffics insane at that time on goodwood.

I think that scooter in the background gets more cred than that.....lol Sure he would have beaten him off the line at least!!

Seriously, why would anyone bother.........the paint alone would have bought him a nice ride!?

    • 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.
