the same dude will come past my work sliding if its ever wet... like this morning.

ahhhh what a f*&^%ed Saturday! went down to QR on saturday for a bit of a watch but before we could get there, the boys in blue were going to have something to say about it. travelling with a mate in my car and 4 in gooches 32, we were cruising down past the twin bps. merging car decides he will sit right next to us as his lane is running out, so gooch takes middle lane me in the left and give it a little squirt . pretty much after coming on boost i had to break for a truck doing about 60 :S while slowing down (blocked in) i notice the blue fatal 4 xr6turbo fanging up behind me in the middle lane lights on. waiting for him to pass i look over my shoulder to see the cop with his head out the window doing everything he could to make eye contact. he sceamed out follow me or us or something and took off after gooch. so anyway about 200m up the road, they pull me over while old mate was already getting spoken too, but here's where things got dodgy.

cop stick his head in and went though the usual any idea what speed, do i know the other driver (which i didnt untill that day) and then went on to tell me i was doing 120 in a 100 zone and that since gooch was in front of me at the time, they had got me and not him. i asked to have a look at the gun which showed up 120 and the cop proceeds to start writing me a ticket. meanwhile gooch has come over to me and said how they got him and not me for the 120. he asked to have a look at he gun and the guy showed him the same 120. still wondering if its worth taking to court, i don't even know if it was our 120 because he was so far back when he put his lights on. anyone had anything similar and won?

oh and to top it off fuel pump shit itself about 2kms from home X( DAMMIT.end

Woot! Bout time, this place is dead.

Was on sutherland street in buderim for work.

Was inside a house and heard something loud drive past with a loud whine and thought to myself "I bet anything thats an RB". It sounded amazing, and as if it had a to4z/dogbox on it. Crazy whine comming from it.

Quickly went outside to sneak a peak, and out the corner of my eye spotted a WHITE R32 SKYLINE. Fairly sure it was a 4door.

If he's on here ;), sounded nice brother

for htose up that way - the club wants to meet up with you and see where you play. I'm looking for suggestions on where. cairncross? landsborough? montville?

looking to do a longish day criuse with the final point at ettamogah?

interested??

Hey Chris,

Yes, we are definitely interested. We went on a run last weekend and it was a perfect day apart from my turbo oil return splitting and coating tires in oil on the way down dulong. Everyone made it home unscathed luckily. Probably be going this weekend again. When were you thinking about heading up?

PHT33

I have an official date in mind but mid june is all I will say at this point. need your feedback on it though. I know that you can play in the hills at landsborogh and all up that way to montvile. I do know that there are a few other roads in there that are not major roads that are also fun.

the brissy guys will be in tow with me (10-20 of us) so we would like to see a good time :P

thoughts??

Yep, well i caught up with chris last weekend and did a bit of a scout run for everyone, and showed chris a few good driving roads up this way for the cruise. so he will be mapping out a cruise route soon if he hasnt already :) , everyone should get there caps on and attend this one, we been too slack of late. i will be attending if my car is up and running by then. hopefully. if not still might come in other car. So get along and support chris and sauqld and meet some fellow skyliners!

Cheers

Daz.

    • 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.
