we should have regular mod days - i know guys in other states have them. just spend a saturday or sunday doing mods to each others cars over a few beers / lunch

Again thanks for Andrew who went out of his way to come over and lend us his power tools. Much appreciated.

Darren and Ash for lending us their tools and Darren for coming over in person to lend a hand.

hence why im keeping them and may do the occassional bubble thought thing hehe

your car looks just as good in that pic as it does in person. too bad i didnt take before and after pics of sam and my car. ah well, there always next time.

Well someone had to take the pics. your right sam. car is stiff - stupidly stiff. I drove on all road surfaces since saturday and omfg, adel's road is so bumpy. I went for a drive in the hills, suspension loves it but diff scares the sh!t out of me - coilovers + diff = wierd noises when going over bumps. How's the blistein/whiteline package go so far, how was drive to murray?

yeah those coilovers a definately solid, they are at home in the hills, barely any roll at all hey. my new suspension feels really good, but i need a wheel allignment and adjustable stabliliser bars. i couldnt help but take the gorge rd home :laugh:

no worries for the lend of the power tools guys - I wish I didn't already have plans, I would have stayed to help you. Missed Darren too - what a bummer .... I must have left too early. Ah well next time!

Yes we should definitely have some mod days - got heaps of room in my garage and a nice bbq out the back and relax area. I am going to get some coilovers or the SK Bilstein group buy stuff like Sam and Ash in the not-too-distant future .... might have to have you guys over for a barbie and suspension changeover :P

sorry i didnt drop by today. went to a mates and when i left it was bout 6:30, so though next time. that and the fact that his area - stoneyfell, had no reception didnt help to notify you.

but yeah, a occasional mod day would be sweet. i had this chat with vange a while back, he's keen on the idea - actually i think it was his idea.

this is where i got mine from Duc

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
