I got a method to changing the oil filter now so it not so bad the first time it was bad , i stand on the drivers side of the car now turn your back on the car now use your right hand to do up the filter (palm facing the motor) at no time try and look what u are doing do it all by touch

Still pretty frustrated that we missed out on possibly getting the house but i guess another one will come up in time.

But i must say that i am slightly happier i complained to a receptionist at Peter Blackshaw and with in the hour i had a call from the Man himself Peter Blackshaw trying to explain the situation etc and said he had spoken with the real estate agent about the issue. He expressed that he was deeply sorry for the incident and that he was disapointed with agent in question.

Anyways it is at least good that they took my complaint seriously and didnt just throw it into the corner like some business might have done.

:P

f**king real estate agents they are in my opinion now up there at the top of worst people in the world (with the exception of veilside and or a couple of others who had done the right thing in the past)

Found out today that the house that we were really keen on buying that was meant to go to auction next weekend was sold with out us getting a call. The even more annoying thing is that i have heard that by law they have to call all interested parties and notify them, they then have 24 hours to put in a better offer... well we didnt even get a f**king call and to cap off the frustration the property went for under what we were willing to pay for it... dslgsdlkgjklsed f**kING BS...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my god i don't think i have been this pissed off in a long time... i will be taking this further what a f**king dodgy real estate agent... Peter blackshaw... POOR EFFORT!!!

WHAT THE f**k IS WITH THE TRAFFIC?!#?!?%!#?

f**king.

Canberra's road infrastructure is only about 110 times better than Sydney's yet we still manage to have mighty big f**king traffic jams.

WHY THE f**k IS THE PARKWAY STILL UNUSABLE??!?#

Its mighty damned depressing when you stop 200m down from the Parkes Way turn off along Lady Denman and proceed to CRAWL to the on-ramp to the parkway, 10 cars at a time.

Canberra's traffic management is f**king woeful.

I'd like to thank the f**ktard, who decided to reverse into my car at my work carpark and drive off :P , not leaving a message, luckily enough I've got a note from a witness with his details. Not much damaged, some deep scratches and paint Reported the shit to the police, what good that will do who knows. Luckly me managed to keep my car undamaged for only six weeks. ;)

  • 2 weeks later...

almost 4 years at this f**king company and no pay rise or courses that all have been promised f**king crap I tells you. Need pay rise then maybe I can keep the car and do the house up!!

You can buy mine for $22,000

Hey Chris, I had a simliar problem at the work carpark, parking near d-block one day, I was comming back from lunch and heard my alarm go off, walking to my car I noticed a guy driving an old white EB-ED falcon drive past me, as I got to the car, the spot next to me was empty and a chip of paint missing from my front right fender where someone opened a door pretty hard onto it.

Not happy. too bad I can't do too much about it. at least I still have alot of paint left over from the respray.

I can tell why so many people drive around in bombs these days, they don't care what happens to their car and they don't care what they do to other peoples car.

i know I do as well, I worked out I have enough money to make my garage and out the car on stands for another 12 months, but then I ll have no kitchen or bath room or deck / landscaping. Guess I could always borrow more money lol.

    • 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
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
