I hope so the oil pump came up a real treat :D I found the spray cap is the perfect size to cover over where the crank goes and leaves the little raised part unpainted, looks like it had come like that from factory when I was finished with it :)

Hey Chris, yeah, spent a week in the Holy Spirit and was diagnosed with Viral Meningitis. Still feeling weak but I am getting there. What makes it hard is the fact I am supposed to move out soon but I can't get a firm date as to when!!

I hear you had a little visit to Hospital as well??

i had bacterial meningitis in jan 2004

i felt like death and thought i were going to die

never thought i would get meningacocil :D

cought it at hospital just in time though

a lumber puncture with no anesthetic f**king hurts

I have been reading these forums for a few years now learning about the mighty RB and what's needed to bring out its full potential and the ppl giving that advise are not only knowledgeable but do it in a way that is supportive to a good result, then there are the ones who having done what I have done (read up) they are suddenly experts in all things RB, (do you know what an expert is? Its a has been drip under pressure hehe) I tend to ignore these ppl because they are just parroting.

YOU shane have done this so many many times now that I can't help but laugh at some of your "suggestions" but sadly its not a happy laugh its more of "boy has he got an attitude what a {insert appropriate term}" not that I think less of you, because as Dave has said your young and IMHO young ppl run off at the mouth [or keyboard] too often for thier own good, if you step back and look at the big picture, you would see that!

Its not just me and Dave, more than a few have seen through your thin veneer and snickered as well but what you have to worry about is Dave's comments, seriously, before you become the man on the outside.

Most of what you say does have its base in real world experience but its not yours until you have a quarter mile time or a lap time, really your not a bad bloke but

respect is earnt not learnt

    • 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
