Just wanted to thank all my mates who are helping me out with the difficult times, keep me grinning at the worst times! Cant thank them enough, HTS Garage - NW, VIC, And Hobart Divisions, Drifting Tas and everyone else!

And a big thanks to my friends who wrote this for me. The cars at the bottom looked 6months of work better than that when they died :(

Holy baby jesus, mate that's horrific... I'd offer other help if you weren't a 3 hour drive away, but will be digging into my (rather shallow) pockets for what I can get you. Hopefully a heap of other people do the same :)

Perhaps we could organise a working bee or something to help out putting a shed back up, or... something? I always feel like shit when I see peoples cars being stolen and burnt out, but three at once?! That's too damned much.

Bodie, i might have a pair or at least one brand new gtr air flow meter at work, ill check for you tomorrow, even better if u remind me at like 830am on 0409 631 092

Toff, mum and dad had the shed and contents insured but the broker who set it all up 15 years ago undervalued it then and now well yeah..., and the policy says no cars or parts are covered and only the undervalued part of it mean only 1/4 of the contents value minus the cars etc. Id never given it a thought as i didnt expect the shed to burn down hey, thought the cars might have been covered since they live there, but no. Shed is covered but not sure to what extent yet as the insurance company is slack with communication and organisation. If i had of known what the insurance was set up like i would have changed it so that it was worth having.

Bugger , sorry to hear , by the sounds of it you have some good friends out there though , hope you get back on track soon :) .

Not really ,if somebody offered the right $$ i'd probably sell it knowing me , the stickers and rear spoiler are now gone from it and i'm in the middle of buying a nismo (altia) bodykit for it . And its 100k service is due so that'll be happening next week :)

it will look like this but black (and no rear spoiler) :

    • 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.
