was stopped on friday nite in northbridge for no reason. turned down a side street beside Saigon to make a u-turn and go back up towards Rise and was blocked by a police truck which proceeded to flash me and turn on sirens.

a policeman then came down and tried to get me to own up to stuff. he was like, "so have u managed to figure out what u did wrong?" and i was like, "nope..." and in the end u dun have ure P's on and i pointed out my Ps which were in plain view! and then he says my tinting is too dark to which i reply the car was just over the pits (when registering and compliance) and that it passed and then he wants to check my boot to which i say OK but then he decides not to and lets me go.

what was the point?

an undercover also approached me and some friends while we were outside Marble Bar in east perth and took our ID details but we were only waiting for other friends to arrive. and they searched the car. are they allowed to do that?

what was it that they called W.A.???

a police state..... haven't had any probs with the cops in the skyline, but in my last car there were a few probs, just get pulled over all the time, just get your permits for things like pod filters etc etc, and u'll be rite.

BamBam, i think i saw you at tuart hill maccas last thursday, black 'line parked out back, at one stage you were chatting to one of the guys i know "pez", drives the white falcon V8??

Although it sucks, I can sort of understand where they come from - on ounce of prevention etc. If you're not doing anything wrong generally they will sus this out pretty quickly and no real harm done. I 'spose it does help keep the dick heads under control or at least away from popular areas. It is sometimes worth thinking about what it would be like if any fool could roll up to a popular place and carry on like a total f*%khead - wouldn't make for a very pleasant place.

It can still give you the shits though

Bambam when you say they "searched" your car what exactly did they do and where did they look?:eek1:

Ahh in the car ;)

Generally it depends how dodgy u look and how nervous as to how far they will go. Standard is just the under seats, storage comparments and boot. But if they think they are on to something they wont stop until they find it eg. stickin hands in cracks in upholstery and trim searching under car and bonnet and pullin carpet up in boot and floor.

no guys my car is totally stock standard! not even a decent radio! no bodykit:(

WASSABI - just the boot and look inside the car, under seats, glove compartment etc.

R33_Cam - sorry mate wasnt me...;) i know ure probably gonna give me shit coz i dun even know where Tuart Hill is...;)

well they are I think I am just messing with ya!

but correct me if I am wrong

I red some where that it is illegal to leave your car turn on without no one in the car.

that make sense?

Ps. and CAM I was not reffering to your car at all ;) I was just saying... in general heheh ;) ( see you are paranoid now, word "RICEY" comes up you thing it refering to you :lol: )

cheers

Makes sense.

Remember that immobilisers are compulsary in W.A and a immobiliser is effectively useless while the engine is running.

So it makes sense in terms of the current law that they are illegal but ****ed if I actually know.

hahaha nah joe i didnt mean that you were referring to me:p just sayin that for the ultimate in "ricey" look you need neons underneath (as i would know) :lol: :lol: but cops dont usually look underneath, cause they dont wanna get their pants dirty :bahaha:

with my tt it's wired through so that while the engine is still running, the timer obviously counting down, then the car will switch off fully when it hits 0 - I thought everyones is like that??

nonetheless, the alarm comes on after 20 seconds, whether there's someone in there or not, so they won't get far and I'll know where they are if they try to ;)

also in that 20seconds they'll have to work out how to get into my car and if they smash the window then I'll know about that too

they just can't win :uh-huh:

oh, unless they shoot me and take my keys ;)

Mine will run while u are out of the car and the alarm is on and armed. If u try and step on the throttle it will turn off the engine right away but u can run it on idle but its easy to chase at idle.:(

    • 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.
