what was so bad about it?

of course theres going to be cops!

there is every year.

i thought it was sweet, got to albion park , chilled for a while checking out cars, went to the gong had lunch, watched more nice cars, cruised a lil more. then went home.

what do you expect?

na it was fun considering there was a lil bit of a let down on the organisation side of things and the cops blocking off the entry , leaving half of us outside the airport while inside i never saw a single cop ( accept 1 driving past once.) .. Defect stories i dunno about as i wasnt looking for attention but wat i remember is seeing the best R34 N1 spec gettin some serious backfire and then getting pulled over by the cops . The look on the guys face was priceless. Im sure he was NOT happy to say the least ( no like he was doin anything wrong either :) )

Ya had a day but some aspects were missing , But still to see all them NICE liners :P and other sorts of cars was good enough and fun enough for me :P besides my camera dieing on me just as i was goin to take more pics of some luvly liners :D .

I went to Roselands with a few other mates at about 11ish , but ended up leaving soon after as it was heaps HOT there :) soo many COPS and defects . Took about 20 mins just to leave the bloody car park there was that many cars there . Which once again was a let down to miss out on all but MORE cars that would of come to Albion Park if they could of got in.

Oh well had a nice drive and chat with peeps :P

Will post pics sometime when i get it all sorted

Was a good day. Saw [R32] inside the airport and a few other lines. There wasn't as many cars in there due to the police blockade, Wollongong exits were the same. Saw JETT at the lighthouse carpark. Plenty of GTS-t's, but only saw a handful of GTR's.

Was the R34 GTR that was pulled over a red one, R32?

I was in a black VT SS.

i saw a few gtr's i was cruising with my car ( jett ) and my mates black r32, there a few nice gtr's out there, hope to see some more next time, love the cops pulling over people for defects right in front of the carpark entrance, and the cops on trail bikes giving out defects, just love it.

all in all wasnt to bad, cops blocked off a few streets not letting cars in to the lighthouse carparks, just one major problem is lack of food, aybe next time someone can organise a big BBQ for all the people there. that would be good

The organisers had a BBQ at the truck stop behind the service station on the left just before the entrance to the airport. Pity no one was told about it. Alot of the cars were also parked in there. I also doubt that much money was raised as I didn't see anyone selling any stickers or asking for donations.

There was plenty to eat at the nearby shops (plus a McD's about a km down the road). I think last year was much better in that people could actually see most of the cars at the one spot.

I had an enjoyable day, I expected the amount of police, no surprises there, considering the sheer number of cars, what really did get on my nerves, was the lack of organisation. There was none, it was supposed to be for charity? I went for a walk at the airport and saw nothing that resembled a donation collection or anything? No food or drink? For what was supposed to be an organised arrival point it was crap.

But was good to see some mates, meet some peeps, mostly enjoyable, Ill go next year but ill be prepared, drink and food and a picnic mat wouldnt go astray.

*PS Bizz I didnt get many pics (wtf were u doing with our camera for half an hour? Ya only took one photo! :)) but the ones I took ill host them on my webspace but they are really only of our crew.

I cant believe my FRIGGIN luck!

1 Measly PHOTO! :P hahahah wat was i thinking!. And i took so many nice pictures of cars too , but thanks anyway dave lol , needed that camera :)

I have heaps of ones from the road up to the meetup ill give em to u later and u host them too , few small 1 min clips too of various cars .

That R34 Was red NXTIME.

I got to the airport early and watched the parade of cars roll in and out for hours - great weather, perfect for cruising... Shame about the F**KWITS engaging in grass sports!

Headed into town after coming home and chilling out for a while - eating lunch etc.

Those two cops on road/trail bikes were doing WELL above 40km/h through South Beach back and forward for an hour and riding on the wrong side of the road AND up the footpath straight at pedestrians... Dicks.

Town was a bit of a dud by that stage though :P Had a good day.. :)

Adrian

We drove past you Adrian inside the Airport, I called out to you and you looked around bewildered :) I was incognito in a black VT SS :P You should have filmed the cops on the trail bikes and sent it into the Police Ombudsman :P

Bizz, that Red R34 with buddyclubs is an absolute machine. Big twin turbo set up, apparently.

    • 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.
