Recommended Posts

Ah that sucks. Well I just finished my ten day stint and have the rest of the week off :P

Not that that makes you feel any better :(

Pretty keen for this :D

Shell signed blood so she coming.

Bad luck Chris ! I would rather next week off ! Because GTA IS COMING !

Eh.. Only games I play these days are racing games/simulators. Have built myself a pretty epic setup/cockpit :P

BF4? :D!

Haha still unsure.... I was a massive fan on bf2 10 years ago, over 1500 hours played back in the day lol. Bought bf3 and played it for about 2 months then was over it. I have a feeling bf4 will be a repeat of bf3 so I'm a little hesitant :(

Whereas I get a solid 4 hours a week out of Live for Speed, and don't get bored with that :D

EA admitted to breaking BF3 - BF3 SUCKED ! however, they've realised their faults and will be fixing everything in BF4. By a start - they brought back commander

BF3 was amazing. The early maps where nothing special but the actual game was the best FPS released to date. The newer expansions are amazing.

New generation BF player? Becuase BF3 was probably the worse Battlefield installment. The graphics are amazing and to date, the best still. But the gameplay, competitive mode (There is no competitve mode - so you can't play BF3 competitively) and no commander, wayyy to many OP things example Anti-air and Jets do like 50% more damage to Helicopters - mind you Helicopters are a still target yet can be shot down in a second). there were MANY of things broken with BF3. Yes it was a good game from BF2 - but they quickly killed the game. Also, BF3 is dead - there are a total of like 10+ servers active during peak times.

I wouldn't complain anything is OP in BF3 tbh. Everything can be countered. ive got full platinum stars for both jets and choppers and i can get in one and make it last the entire game. Honestly the only "BROKEN" thing was metro with nades and rockets. Brilliant game.

Bf4 will be amazing. Not quite as good as GTA 5.

BF3 is dead and has been dead for quite awhile. I am a HUGE Battlefield fan and have been playing since game 1. EA have already admitted to its mistakes (Hence BF3 sucking) but they've promised to deliver in BF4 to which I think will happen.

Anyways, got that phonecall yet?

    • 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.
