the cops are fine, as long as ur going the speed limit.

I was driving up there with my gf the other month, going through the "windy" bits inbetween newport there was a porche behind me and soemthing else becide that, i was gonig the speed limit cause i knew there would be cops there, when we got out of the windy bits the car behind the porshe just took off, was a r32 gtst, lowered chromies.......and zorst. bout 400m up the street tthere was an rbt there, so the 32, 33 and a porshe boxter all pulled into the rbt. The cops would have been thinking this was the catch of the night, i was going to ask i i could jump out and take a photo, *** it would be funny.

The cops rbted the 32 and looked round the car, checked his licence and rego, and off he went... he came up to me and said the norm "have u had nething to drink" etc. he said count from 1-10 so i started going 11, 12, 13, 14, and then get a bit of a hit in my gut from my gf, before i relised what i was doing. and procerd counting 1, 2, 3, 4 etc.

and he just told me to have a nice night.

If ur going the speed limit and not doing anything crazy the cops seem to be cool but it all... untill i pulled out my flamethrower and torched the mother****ers... but my 33 was too quick for them to catch me. then i woke up.

Aplex.. I dont mean to shite on your parade.. But be carefull with the cops. To say they are fine unless your speeding is not accurate. The palm beach locals are really anti cruises these days. As soon as they hear 1 loud exhaust they hit auto-dial and call in the cops. If your lucky normal cops rock up and they are awesome (edit: okay.. most of them are okay. Some of them are ego maniacs). They will just tell you to move on and thats that.

Most of us have been cruising up to palm beach for years. The cops have even put notes on the number plates of my car and a few others saying that we dont get up to any trouble.

I am just trying to stress the importance that those going to Palm Beach really behave, otherwise the cops will come down really hard on you all. Since I dont know you guys I will prolly give it a miss.

p.s.. Your car is stock (I saw in the dyno thread) so you can get away with more. hehe

Go the stockie !!!

I dislike the authorities as much as the next guy, got a $100 fine for doing an illeagel U-turn at 1:00 at night in berowa (not a car insight, becides the ones that were on the cruise. and the ***ker gave me a fine...ass

But i find that if cops arent lookingfor you and ur not doing anything wrong, they leave u alone. I have never been randomly pulled over, only for rbts and stuff...

but then again the car is a stocker. But then again again i ad a really loud subi liberty gx lowered, zorst, rims etc etc. and never got pulled over in that either.

wait till DJ approves, its his cruise, he started it.  

;)

If we all know thornleigh maccas and only some of us know waitara, why dont we all meet at thornleigh?  I was driving past waitara maccas, and the car park is tiny, i dont think we would be able to fit everyone in there...

thoughts?

There'll be plenty of room for us there at waitara, I've already changed location once i'm not gonna change it again. as i said before, there was a thread for discussion before i opened this one ;)

so location will still be waitara maccas it's on the pacific hwy just out of hornsby...

If people want to meet up at thornleigh and head ove to waitara together go for it :rofl:

hey guys what time do you think you will be going past the intersection of monavale road and forest way

No idea man, but if your there say 15mins after the schedled dat tme and wait for us ya should be fine... :)

I can't get on the net much at the moment so i'll update as often as i can... but i won't be changing locations etc...

;)

RSTME: hey mate i am meeting up wit GTRFAN on windsor rd , near Ettamoga pub . then heading out to Waitara as He knows how to get there , im assuming we are goin along the M2 and off towards Pacific HWY . If u can come to the Maccaz near the Ettamoga pub on Windsor rd that would help us a bit of backtrackin. If u cant just msg me or post up wat u can do . Was only Suggesting that meetup if i could find more peeps from out west to plug along with , but it seems ur the only one atm . Just grab my mobile number if u need it , its a temp one so i can handle posting it here :) 0404389325 Buzz me on Friday or whenever and can talk bout it

    • 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.
