Have sent 7Tune a message!

Which GTR is yours again?

Oh yeah! 7 Tune!

Shaun Wilton owns the Blue R34 GTR with the White TE37's (HIRISK).

Thanks bro! :D

Sorry if I upset anyone or did not follow protocol.

I am not up to speed with the done thing in these online situations - showing my age.

Sorry - I can ask 7 Tune to pull the photos if you like?

It's all good. Atleast credit is going to a SAU VIC member lol :)

Just waiting on confirmation on some cars.

But 5-6 cars have been picked from one of supporters who will be providing the $1,200 detail package prize.

I'll be putting up the pics on FB and letting the public decide the winner with the most likes over a week :thumbsup:

I get puns like that all the time due to my forum name. Haha

There is some serious prizes...

Will have to check the fb page out...

Do the winners of the SnS all win the $1200 detailing package or every class somthing different?

Cars in their respective classes will receive trophy. Not sure when we find this out, but should be soon. Hurry up John or Dan!

Only one car will receive the detailing package. These cars were picked by our supporter at Immaculate Reflections. The guys who will be giving out the prize. Then we will let the public decide on the winner. Announcement on the cars picked should be sometime tonight, then we will let it run for a week. Most FB likes wins!

Are we concerned that the owner with the best networking skills / Facebook friends will nail that prize?

Anyone want to be friends on Facebook?! ;)

I'll vote for your car :P

Trophies were done by a panel of judges

Detail prize is a mixture of cars picked by some judges and then by public

Just trying to mix it up so the public can also get involved.

Last year trophies were voted by the public and prizes were given away in a raffle. So just something a bit different this year

Sounds good and I guess it will increase exposure to the club via social media, which can't be a bad thing.

    • 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.
