Another prelude bites the dust

lol i didn't realise he was giving me a run till a lil later. I was just speeding in my own lil world!

I so need to sneak an external wastegate and a slideh performance turbo on the grandpa mobile without my old man realising.

"It goes faster? Oh, i really havnt noticed anything like that dad :laugh: .....

lol

Bugger.. I had a tooth ache last night.. ( had root canal a while ago which never got finished ) took some pain killers then as I got to the airport my arms felt like they wanted to fall off and I felt like sleeping...Big U-turn.. No idea how I made it home.. Lucky I didn't speed across that backroad behind the airport.. cops were speed trapping like 80 or so yards before it changes from 60 to 70.

Was there a big turn-out?

yes it was a pretty good turn out. but not as good as the northern beachs one a while ago :)

i had a pretty good time. well as much as can be expected lol. but the 6pack is to thank for that :rofl: since i was passenger heheheh

saw an S13 rock up and thought it was you.... but noooooo his sauce was stronger than yours. You are of the weaksauce kind Liz. :happy:

:ermm: well... ok.... yeah i got nothing. lol

damn taxi drivers picking on the little cars!!!

Not the best cruise I have been on, but that is understandable.

Still a good bit of road out there. It was the first time had had driven on it.

We will have to do it again some time and I may actually be able to meet some of you under better circumstances.

was an eventful night wasnt it.. would of been better if we left in the other direction from the start. Took me 5goes to get through those fking lights and prob should of used the waterfall entrance as theres less chance of "it" happening. Its not as open as the sutherland entrance.. but had alright time.. met some people, didnt meet some people all in all was ok

It was a great to meet some of you and under the cicumstances to be expected didnt get to chat to everyone I am glad everyone was very supportive and helpful and hope it will be a better cruise next time.... :P

Well done to some of the boys as had alot of courage in doing the right thing and helping out ! :)

;)

    • 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
