hey guys,

Just starting a new thread for this.

Ray (SXR) from RE customs has kindly offered us the use of his workshop on thursday night. What do you think everyone, is it do-able??

The shop is just off Westall rd, right near the corner od westall and dandy rd in springvale.

;)

I'm stressed just thinking about this... :D

Really Dave??

That would be awesome too mate, thanks for the offer. I was a little worried about taking it to RE as I didn't want Ray to have to stay around all night while we attempt to fix my box (that one was for you Bec!). So that may be the better option. I should know everything I need to know by this evening, so I'll keep everyone informed.

Bec: hahaha I wanted to, but was wary of the female audience ;)

Not too sure yet, should know evrything by this evening. I'll find out about the TV :D

Yeah it is. It's still driveable, it just doesn't like low speeds in first and second gear, or going into gears all the time...

Nothing needs to be replaced as far as I'm aware, and the flywheel should be fine. It was all out of the car last week, and everything was fine, apart from some minor hairline fractures in the clutch plates. But I may leave that until the off season to fix

So just old box out and new box in?

Should be easily done in one night. Even with only 2-3 ppl.

What time we starting?

Make sure you have things like new oil, WD40, rags, oil pan (ice cream containers)

I'll bring jack, jack stands and tools.

yep, just old out and new in. The only issue is with the rear main seal, which may require some silicone around it due to block damage.

Do I put shlt oil in, then good oil once it's run in, or just good stuff straight away?

Ahhhhh cool cool

I'm not too sure about kick off time, it's up to you guys, and possibly Dave??

Ray has also offered me a pretty good price and can do it this week, so maybe that could be the best option as I feel a little bad about putting everyone out like this...

Just have to see whether I can russel up the money to do it.

I've just spoken to Sam and he's informed me that the clutch may need the rebuild ASAP, and would really advise against putting the box in the car without doing it as it's not disengaging properley.

So it looks like I'll have to do that before I do the box...

Thanks so much for the offers guys, I really appreciate it, but I'm going to have to hold off I guess until I can do the clutch rebuild...

:)

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
