Even though a trans cooler is a must have, are you sure the shifting issue was due to trans heat and not an issue caused by the ecu change?

Very confident. I haven't had this issue at all on the street. Also the three runs where i let the car fully cool down I didn't have the issue, the three times i kept the car warm it had the issue.

Fitted up my r34 gtt brakes today. Also painted the rears black to match the front. While I was at it I changed my oil, diff oil front and rear and transfer case fluid.

For those playing at home I fitted QFM HPX pads front and rear

Nice productive day.

Man I need some 18s. It's such a subtle upgrade but makes the wheels look the right size. I found a decent chunk out of one of my 17s yesterday and pointed it out to my wife, who subsequently claimed responsibility. Time to angle for a Christmas present...

Installed my nismo dash today.. instantly went from 105k to 180k. Also noticed missing screws holding the dash in, no guessing needed as to why... I wonder how many ks it really has

That's a crowded dash! If I had more time I would like to mess around with microcontrollers and the serial output on the adaptronic. Then you could integrate another digital display somewhere on the dash, instead of old school gauges.

There are digital race dashes that plug straight into the adaptronic, I just have many things that are higher priority with my funds. I do plan on moving those gauges one day.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
