Jon (Arithon) is working hard to get everyone back in the same boat and will not rest until the problems whether technical or people are weeded out to make the SDU forums a better place.

Jon is receptive to input on these issues, please leave him a message on the SDU forums if there is anything you can suggest. Everyone has pretty strong emotions and opinions as to the future direction the forums should take.

I understand the NZ exec are having a meeting on Wednesday (5 June) to address the issue of the forums. I keenly await the outcome.

My plea is that we should avoid pouring more petrol on the fire for the moment. I'd like to keep the option of a friendly and constructive relationship between the Australian and New Zealand camps...

graemewi, i have mixed emotions on this.. i am very angry with the way myself and other's have been treated by sdu.. i myself was singled out by a couple of the mods for having opinions and also apparently put on a "to be banned" list.. now tell me how do u expect me to react to u guys now??

however i am not one to hold grudges especially when not all sdu nz member's think what happened is right.. i do have some hope that one day things may be patched up.. all i can say is i hope we dont make the same mistakes as u guys have over the last couple of months..

[RYAN]

I deleted your post as all I saw it achieving was provoking another slanging match which none of us want.

Nismoboy

[RYAN] want devulge the reason. But theres a thread in the wastland section where he can do it.

Thats because you and Onarun challenged the mods authority and they didn't like it.

Hopefully we do learn from the mistakes made by SDU, it will make our task awhole lot easier. But with every club/business etc there are growing pains, good times and bad. Its how fast and well the club/business recover from the bad times that will show how successful they are.

I thought there only one the moderators had a problem with at the time, and that was only because of a few smart comments. Just remember, they, like the moderators here, were/are only doing what was set by a higher order. They can make mistakes, but also remember in the context of a discussion forum, it is better to err on the side of caution.

well maybe thats the difference.

you made a mistake there saying that the mods here do what they are told to do, because all of the moderators (bar 2 or 3) are all admin's of this site and the backbone of the new club... we moderate it very lightly at the moment also because we haven't actually set a terms and conditions for people to abide by.

OK. I apologise for that.

It may have something to do with the just over 250 members here, and the little over 2500 there. More people makes for a bigger mess. I'm sure if it isn't nipped in the bud here, there will be a call to get tougher. It is inevitable. As your population grows, you get more and more who have nothing better to do than to cause problems, it just happens. It's just part of being a human.....

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • 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.
