Another Free Tour of the Holden Performance Driving Centre


Recommended Posts

Ladies Please, The reason I edited my first post is because I wanted to stop this thread turning into a bitchslapping fest. Which it has. So I'm sorry I ever rolled my eyes at this night. I would like to commend cyrus on the information that such a night is happening and for giving the people who read these forums a chance to come out and meet him.

I hope whoever attends enjoys the gallery as much as I did when I went.

Did i say you criticsed?? If i did please point out where

My comment was mainly directed at charly. I just find it hard that people can bad mouth something like this if they havent tried it...cyrus has been using it and as far as i know he hasnt had to re build his engine or anything like that. Guts was just a figure of speech like put your money where your mouth is. Im just saying if people think its so shit then wheres their proof that its shit.....

Have you used it yourself? No? Thanks for the opinion :uhh:

I might come out for a look, should be interesting.

I dont swear by it, I only use it, I could sell it but why waste time on ignorant people like you.

 

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SELLING OR FU(KING BUYING ANYTHING YOU FU(CKING CO(CKHEAD!

 

There will be a tour of the gallery and workshop then a very short presentation of what Roil is and how it works, THAT IS IT! NO sales pitch, NO "How many can we put you down for?" NO PUSHY FU(KING SALES PEOPLE!!! HOW MANY FU(KING TIMES DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU IGNORANT, MORONIC, REDNECK INBRED, CAMEL SPEW!?!?!?

Woah, that was a bit full on...

I actually agree with Krawlers comments though... You dont have a free night to NOT sell things... :D

isnt it a two week ban for personal insults towards a forum member?

Charly,

I'm sorry too for the derogatory remarks made about you in this thread, (which now have been edited, BUT not about the comments made about krawler though), I am just sick and tired of people thinking that I want to get rich quick by selling roil, I DONT! I have not made any claims of what it does or does not do, only the facts which are posted for all to see in this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=37992 where I too was a skeptic and used it and saw results, which is why I use it, because I saw results on MY car and do not want to make any claim that it will have any effect on anyone elses car.

Stuff selling it, I just buy it because it has worked for me, I can sell it, (as I am an seller), but only because it is cheaper for me to buy as a seller, so why not buy it at wholesale prices, anyway most people I talk to about it have your attitude like krawlers, which I just cant stand trying to show them that this is not snake oil, but normally their minds are as tightly closed just like krawlers, anyway I digress.

The truth is that the ONLY reason for me to post this up and invite whomever wants to come it for the Gallery tour, that is all, I am not trying to show them this wonderful new product that will wipe your ass after you've done a shit on the toilet or anything. I have no part in organising it, nor do I see any benefit finanically or physically if people go or not go!

BUT all that said I definatly do not want to say come for a free tour, but not inform them of the demonstration and then suddenly they are put into a position where they would feel mislead or make people feel forced to watch the demo, so I am being totally honest and truthful about my reasons behind posting this.

All that out of the way back on topic.

This is open to anyone to come, not just people from this forum, anyone.

Have you used it yourself? No? Thanks for the opinion :uhh:

 

I might come out for a look, should be interesting.

Be good to have another "salesman" type person attend, then you can fully understand if they are trying to do the hard sell on people.

The Demonstration is really just a "This is Roil, and this is how it works" kind of thing. It really is to drum up interest in the product, if you are interested then you stay back and ask any questions you might have, if not you drive off.

i'm in, can't wait to get some pics of me and brockys A9X! :D

Yeah should be good as they are closing it down for a bit to make it bigger and apparently better, still there's a lotus in there that kicks ass, it's like a go kart with a V8 in it, and the tallest bit on the car is only like 1 metre off the ground!

I dont swear by it, I only use it, I could sell it but why waste time on ignorant people like you.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT SELLING OR FU(KING BUYING ANYTHING YOU FU(CKING CO(CKHEAD

Wow, way to have a whinge at totally the wrong thing.

My comment was actually pointing out the insane amounts of ROFLCopters and LOLlerskates I feel towards snake oil like this. Not the people trying to pedal the snake oil, who remind me of christians ("you can believe in anything you want, so long as its what we tell you"), but the product itself.

The only people who DONT pay this snake oil out, are the ones selling it.

Think about that statement before hitting your caps lock button and having a sook.

Anyway. Enjoy your Amway. I cant come, I'm going on a free holiday to learn about the exciting world of time sharing. Then I'm getting in herbal remedies guaranteed by herbalremedies.com.tw to increase my penis size, make me more attractive to women, clear bad debts, decrease my mortgage and give me a degree online.

......... Then I'm getting in herbal remedies guaranteed by herbalremedies.com.tw to increase my penis size, make me more attractive to women, ............

Gods know you need it! :rofl:Maybe ask for the double strength stuff oh and while your at it, can I buy some of your Urine to put in my fuel, I hear it will add 40rwkw, must be all that herbal stuff coming out :D

Well duh, show me any company that bad mouths thier own product..............?

That must mean ALL COMPANIES HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA! Hey if someone you knew and trusted came up to you and asked you to watch a tv show that would interest you, THAT HAS GOT TO BE A HIDDEN AGENDA RIGHT THERE! Take that person and shoot him before he can sell you a different type of anal stimulation which you are currently using!

Its all a big conspiracy, which means you are the one behind it using reverse psycology to make me think, you think, that I think, that you think, that I think you have no part in it!

Well duh, show me any company that bad mouths thier own product..............?

Show me another product that the ONLY people who believe in it are the creators?

Whatever. Go ahead and put snake oil in your engine.

PS - Wanna buy a hiclone? 50% more torque and fuel economy. How about a polariser? 200% increase in fuel economy. Maybe a Power Zet? Electronic turbo which gives 25% gain in power and torque.

If they work, why not, but the only way to find out is to use it and objectivly look at the results, Roil is not meant to give you any type of performance gain anyway, I am still interested in your Urine though, when can I pop around and buy a bottle?

thanks for deleting my totally innocuous post praising Cyrus for once again posting an excursion idea where some members could go on the cheap. I REALLY appreciate being censored on one of the rare occasions when I was giving out some heartfelt praise. Thanks a Bunch. :)

That's quite enough I think.

Any more of this slanging and you'll both get warnings.

So you give warnings for warnings?

You're a big girl, just warn them the first time, that's why is called "warning"...

But erins already warned me so you warning her about her warnings of warning us is basically another warning which means I was warned twice (or three times if you count the warning warning) and I didnt even do anything that requires a warning.

So yeah, I'm warning you.

    • 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)
