It looks clean and mean, Even better up close. Top notch Julian.

With the gear box done it'd be the complete package I'm thinking.

Cheers

PS. That'd be 500-520 rwkws ? :P

Can you do us all a big favour, put that front bar on and take some more photo's, it would be on my computer wallpaper. That is one fat powerful skyline. And I'm not even all that crazy about 32's.

  • 2 weeks later...

finally got one! got it from autostyle in sydney on sunday and just took some pics of it. not too clean cuz the rain won't seem to let up, but the car's in awesome knick! just a few slightly worn rubbers around windows, lights etc. interior's pretty much on par with the outside. not immaculate but quite awesome nonetheless. couldn't be bothered getting the keys to open it and snap pics sorry! but yeah, car's totally standard 'cept for the 33 wheels, cat back exhaust and turbo timer. very happy with it. gave it a thrashing yesterday but that'll be it pretty much cuz i'd like this car to keep working for a while but it's got plenty o' poke. cheers guys!

Damn, I didn't know there were that many nice cars in Canberra.

having only moved back to Canberra 4 months ago after being away for 6 years I noticed how canberra's car scene has improved (still too many lancer with evo kits for my taste though)

better put up pics of my cars just in case people spot me and willing to give a wave.

Here is the R32 GTR I got back in mar 2005.

Not modified too much (Power FC next on the list)

Dec 1989 R32 GTR

Apexi AVC-D ( 1bar)

Apexi Multi-checker

Twin HKS pod filter

Twin HKS Super Blow Off Valve

3.5 inch cat back exhaust (unknown)

Blistein shocks (way too hard for Sydney)

Cusco rear strut

Juran front strut

ARC low GT wing (currently off due to defect)

Atessa controller

White Volks TE37 17x9+15

Ventus R-S2 245/45R17 (makes the odo alittle out 200mtrs/5kms)

Pivot Turbo timer

Momo Spider steering wheel (CF look)

8 ball type gear knob (CF look)

Nismo 320km/h speedo

HKS Boost gauge

Cheap water temp, oil pressure, boost(psi) gauge (soon to be replaced by some Defi ones as soon as I get off my ass and move the air cond unit somewhere else)

Cheap Earthing kit (don't think it does anything at all)

Good black wired alarm/immobilzer (obvious not mentioning brand)

Changed to GTS-T headlights

And this is my FTO, it's my rice car and hoping to get rid of it soon so I can spend more money on the GTR.

Anyway just bored at the moment and thought I'd post here. Hope to see you guys on the road.

Holy riced FTO yaf.......I spent way too much on my FTO =(

What have ya done to the FTO?

Yer, the FTO has been riced up before selling it. My cousin is a mechanic at midas and is helping me fix it up and sell it.

as for mods, it's practically stock except for rice stuff like gear knob, petals, seat covers, mags and stereo.

I sometimes get blinded looking at it.

Mivec, what have you done to your FTO?

I sold my FTO a little while ago but it had:

Extractors

Intake

Slotted rotors

Converted it to a manual.

I've still got a carbon fibre centre console part you can have if you want it.

And now I know that it is you I see at Midas all the time!! You came up and said hi to me the other night when I was filling up!! Haven't been to badminton in ages though so I haven't seen you there.

*swoon* =P

    • 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.
