Greetings from the VERY rainy Gold Coast! We have 2 cyclones near here to contend with atm .... not happy Jan! Went to Sea World today and got rained on all bloody day ..... oh well was fun anyhow. Had a blast and absolutely beautiful weather Sunday for O'Reilly's Plateau tour (boardwalk in the top of rainforest trees), also for Monday at Dreamworld and Tues at Movieworld ..... so I can't really complain!

Back to the topic .... me the leader? .... bwahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahaha .... sorry just picking myself up off the floor :P ... anyways .... Brad - you know you can always have a passenger seat with me :(

So the ideas ..... yeah I'm up for any of the above suggestions. I especially agrre with John that if we're gonna go skiing we better go soon before the weather turns nasty!

But I'm up for anything! Catch you all and will elaborate when we get back Sunday!!! Gotta go for a surf now :P

Nothing like spending 10yrs as a bodyboarder on Sydneys inner city breaks to learn how to cope with aggro in the water :( And then for the total opposite, actually finding anyone 'keen' to go for a session @ Eagle Hawk Neck Reef (Tassie - my old local break) on a gloomy 8'-10'+ storm swell (300 yard paddle over known pointer territory!) But the big pits & end bowl is WORTH IT :)

k we should get something planned - but next weekend is a bad option since we are having Drifty's cruise Friday night (I'm looking forward to that one!). Two SAU related events in one weekend is a bit much (for the missus to bear :D )

Then the drags are on the weekend after (5th)

Then it is my 1 year wedding anniversary the weekend after (don't even try to get me to go out that weekend - I value my life)

.... so unfortunately it looks like I am out till the weekend 19/20th April.

Hmmmmm

If u all wanna do something sooner then organise away - but my hands are tied till then :D

It will be a reasonable SAU gathering at the drags on the 5th so why don't we organise some name tags etc and have a bit of a proper social gathering there? Someone could bring a barbie and esky and we could do it in the dirt :(

What are you saying Pawley only women should cook. Im half offended, When you do it for a living atleast 10 hours per day there is only so much I can handle. Was your car up at the Shops near the Bremen pub the other day. Id take up two parks too with your car.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
