Well done on the win and trophies :( At least you guys drive the thing like it was built for - street, strip and show. There are plenty of GTRs with bucketloads spent on them only to be dyno queens and show ponies.

Congrats and best of luck at Jambo.

Thanks Charlie....the jaw-dropping part of the whole weekend was when the Autosalon staff watched Stacey drive the car off the stand, through the auditorium and out the door home.....they asked me if the trailer was out the back, i said what trailer??.....she's off home!. Not only did she drive it home but also drove to the show.

Car will be driven to QLD on the friday of Jamboree....raced Sat and Sun. on street tyres (federals) and regular unleaded pump gas...and driven home Monday. No dyno/trailer queen here!

There is a car carrier spot available if you guys want one, but I think the drive would be great. I have done it in a slightly modded GTR before and don't know how I didn't get booked.

check it again :D

pm received.....THANKS :) phone call has been made, personally I'd much rather TWOOG's on a transporter than a road trip. I'd just sleep better at night. Although, a few boys around here (yes, 2rismo, that includes you) lov the sound of the road trip. THANKFULLY......I'm the one calling the shots around here. :)

Sorry about that, it honestly didn't cross my mind I'm not really into dyno comps

Congrats Stace

Its all good mate....thanks big fella...ill let her know.

was the aqua VL you were refering to, the one i absolutely owned in the street drags at powercruise. No point having all that laggy topend power if ya can't use it!

Nice work it will be very interesting to see what times the car does in true street trim ie pump gas, pump gas tune and street tyres (federals)

its already done an 11.2 in this state of tune....(Compak Attak)...had my mates borrowed stock box in , so harsher changes may have netted a 10...so anything better than that is a bonus....no point running any quicker....only gotta make top 16 with the silly rules they have in place.

the difference between the pump tune and the race tune is not as big as you think..

pump/street......................404awkw

c16/race...........................442awkw

    • 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.
    • 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) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
