For all the refugee & good food hating bigots in the house.

Here's a story on some good friends of mine who also happen to make the best phó in town

You mean, only Alex?

yay house internet has been dropping in and out all week and today has been choppy at 2mbs. login into the router and says its 5.7mbs...

Its been ok for a few weeks before this, and then will be bad for a day or 5 then be back to normal. been talking to internode on and off throughout the year about it and ive replaced the line filter with a normal cable, and the only other option is to replace the router. I borrowed my dads old ADSL2 modem/router and found out its not compatible with iinet's network :rolleyes:

the fritzbox is a $300 router than ive never had any issues with, other than having to reset it whenever speeds slow down. im not going to replace it just so internode can lodge a complaint to telstra/optus whoever. changing to cable from optus or telstra would double the internet bill and i'd lose my $20 a month mobile SIM.

The least I paid was a bit over a dollar

Now it is exactly on par with unleaded...and if unleaded goes up it does too

Except when unleaded drops it doesn't drop

So much screwage

Drive to phillip island was fked - planned it so my last fillup would be in Cranbourne - pump not in use. Travelled west to Frankston to get it - waste of ~10 litres

I DID have jerry cans lol

By the time I got to PI and drove around on the Saturday I had 3/4 in the first session. After issT two sessions tipped one can in, then at end of the day I put the second one in and made it home with 1/3 a tank left or something.

E85 is bad enough on economy let alone tracking it :(

That's thoroughly retardsd...I would have taken 6 at the most and 98'd it until I got to the track then switch.

The United in San Remo really needs it; it would get more use than most E85 bowsers in the country. Cranbourne being bone dry is evidence of this.

yeah thinking must have been a 2 day track session for 22 jerry's

but still difficult.

I want to convert to E85 next year however also moving to the country so nearest servo 100 km away, going to make life difficult

time to conver to new tow rig with extra tanks

$10k for wheels and tyres?

over $1k to fit a rear diff?

$30k for widebody and re-spray.

wants 40% back on what he paid for mods + value of the car?

i feel sorry for this dude.

not to mention you can get an M3 of the same era and kms for the same or even less money. I wonder which will depreciate more?

Funny shit on the road today.

Some dickbag motorbike rider clearly had some form of beef with a dude in a car.

We were driving down the road and he was sitting on his chopper show bike right up this cars ass, then his mate that was waiting for him pulls out of a parking space on a dirt bike and sits in front of the car while old mate Phaggot Mc Showbike moves beside the car.

They look at each other and dirt bike brake checks the car while showbike turns into him, forcing the guy all the way onto the wrong side of the road and nearly into incoming traffic....

A 3rd bike was there, unaware of what was going on, but as so many idiot motorbike riders do, was sitting in the cars blind spot with that whole moron "if he hits me it's his fault" attitude.

Dude narrowly missed being run over by the car, and then the oncoming traffic.

Crazy stupidity all round.

I would have called the cops but the 2 offenders didn't have lisence plates :/

    • 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)
    • 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)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
