Nah

If I did kill the 4l60e I would just replace it with a built T400

For what I want out of the Dunnydoor, a DCT would be more trouble than what it's worth

You would hate no overdrive

2.87 gears and a bigger trans cooler?

There are joints that do overdrive for the T400

For 1:  https://www.gearvendors.com/hrgm3s.html

 

There are probably other GM slush box options available that are 11ty times easier and possibly cheaper than a T400 with OD

I would never own a DCT in a street car

Anyways, more powers isn't on my to do list

It has more power than I really need, or can use on the street, anyway

The car is a daily driver, not a racecar

As I had a vasectomy about 15 years ago there "shouldn't" be any more gender reveals for this old rooster

Which is nice

Lol.. these gender reveals aren't for your missus, I would have thought you'll be that really rad dad doing gender reveals for your kids 😎

I already am that "rad dad" if you ask the kids, much to the annoyance, and sometimes worry, of the "Minister for war and finances"

Spent 3 hours washing and waxing the car, then remembered it's going to the exhaust shop tomorrow to get covered in greasy hand prints and welding sparks

I really need to plan better

Looks nice.

My eyeballs say that would be pretty loud.

Did a big cruise around the Sydney beaches with the Mrs today, she did the usual and slept for the drive home, so it isn't too loud or droney in the cabin

We did get alot of looks and thumbs up, and only 1 grumpy looking weirdo walking a dog near Centennial Park that looked at the car disapprovingly, then gave us the "little finger/little dick" hand signal, to which the Mrs laughed, pointed at him, yelled Oi, gave him the bird and called a name that questioned his sexuality, I laughed, alot, we are "The Bogans"

So basically the car sounds perfect and the Mrs seems happy

Winner winner chicken dinner

Nope, booked in for seafood platter at our local favourite seafood joint 🐟🦐🦞🦀🐙🐡🦭🐳🐧🦄🍹🥃🍹🥃🍹🥃🍹🍸

The car drones at hwy speeds, in top doing 110 kph at just over 2k rpm

I did bring this up when I picked up the car and Chev said if it does drone to bring it back in and they can fab up a resonator to fit in there

I popped in and had a chat this morning, they are going to fabricate something up which should be done and dusted by the end of the week

Should have heaps of room above the rear muffler to have a Helmholtz chamber tuned for the drone.

First they are putting in a resonator, if that fails then a Helmholtz chamber will be next

Got a cartoon made up of me and the Bogan Cruise Ship Rat Fink style

Getting one of my daughters Yaris with cop stickers and sirens for her attestation in December

Thinking of going even taller in the rear end

3.07, or even possibly 2.87

The 3.46 gears are much better than the 3.91 that were originally in it, and for all of the hwy cruising I do, and with the amount of torque the car has just off idle, and the stalled slush box to get the engine spinning I think the longer gears will give me more manners down low, and good fuel economy on the hwy

And after almost hitting a roo on my last adventure down the coast I want one of these smart bar plastic roo bar thingies

Currently got the feelers out and on the hunt

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
