a mate of mine had this done and chipped his teeth twice acidentally biting it whilst eating...

not to mention the fact that he couldn't speak for about 2 weeks after getting it done.

i think it attracts the wrong sort of girl in my opinion (i'm assuming that's why you want to get it done)

hmm, well i dun wanna chip my teeth, BUT i was going top get one of those rubber ones that flex, like u cant damage ya teeth at all with it, and when i *feel* like it chuck metal one or whatever goes, id take maximum care to protect me teeth, teeth are important!@

well its not all because of girls but that is some of the reason lol, like i like to fiddle, n im bored of ym eyebrow one and my nipple is just not something to play with in public lol

can't talk for 2 weeks ey? sweet, get it... it'll clam you up for 2 weeks at least lol.

As for tonguers, I dunno dude, I reckon they're the most useless piercings around... coz it dosen't add to your body art (coz dunno bout you but I usually have my mouth shut). On a chick it does wonders for oral sex, so I can dig that, but unless youre inclined to put penii in your mouth I don't see the point from a sexual status thing.

I dunno dude, but I'd say pierce sunfin else like your lip or get a tattoo.

i got mine done a couple of years ago, chipped one of my teath at the back inside top row... about 2months after i had it done, i then changed to plastic balls instead of metal and haven't chipped anymore, rarley bite it anymore.. once you have worn yours in get a shorter bar - less chance of biting it :)

also i was home the night i got it done eating steak - akwardley but i was still eating steak.. none of this soup crap for a few days ... and i could talk fine

hmm cool, can ya do plastic balls straight away ? or have to wait 2 weeks or whatever so it heals ? how long it take before u can take it out for an hr or so, coz i play basketball each week, thats my only worry, i leave my eyebrow in but i tape that but taping a tongue ring is ipossible :rant:

its all to do with the thickness (gauge) of it.. think they start you on a 14 or 12 gauge... i put a 10gauge in that is thicker and shorter (shortness has nothing to do with gauge)...

i guess if you can find a 14 gauge one with plastic balls then no reason you can't...

I only take mine out to clean it - i do quite a bit of sport as well - snowboard instructor for 6 months of the year, play indoor soccer etc... you don't need to take it out to play sports.. after a while you won't even realise it is there..

it doesnt even hurt to get it done, biting your tounge hurts more. :rant:

yer ut there's prolly more chance of something going wrong with nipple/eyebrow true ? coz i got both those done, eyebrow ive actually had done on each eye about 8 times all up :rant:

hmm, i still wanna do it LOL

as for tats, not my cup of tea, i dont hate tats but i know i'd never get one on myself

My mate has it done over here and when he looked into it, the best advice he got was to go to a reputable studio. If it isnt pierced correctly in the correct location, it doesnt heal and there is very little that can be done on the tongue to stem the bleeding.

hey nathan :) ..oh oh watch out girls!! hehe i know your gonna wanna try it out staight away :rant: !

I had my tongue peirced for 6 years and yeah they close up pretty quickly after u take it out. and also like everyone else said, once the swelling goes down change the rod to a smaller one cause u do chip your teeth on them if u cant resist playing i with it. i chipped my front tooth. didnt hurt getting it done. The top of my ears hurt more than that ! good luck :)

ahh ok sweet, hmm, i will have to be real careful not to chip my teeth lol, i love my teeth n me mum would KILL me if i chipped my tooth lol, but she prefers me getting piercings rather than a tat :rant:

okie, looks like im gunna get it done tomorrow :), ill come to next cruise not being able to talk so i guess most ppl will be happy about that LOL

haha cheers sam :)

doxxy you've met me a couple times, havent spoken to you coz i dont like you... hehe nah j/k, met for a couple mins once or twice at meetings, im the ugly aussie lookin dude that says stupid stuff :D

i got an idea ill get troy to use his metal skills to make me a tongue ring with the outline of a 34 GTR to sit on my tongue :(, or the letters 'SAU' lol

    • 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.
    • 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) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • 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)
