Many thanks to Mona for a well-organised cruise! It was a beautiful morning, and if the weather had stayed like that all day it would have been spot-on - warm, but will a decent, cooling breeze.

I think sorting the suspension on the Stagea will become a bigger priority now, although as it is now (standard, and very high) it did mean I could drive straight onto the ferry with no worries about scraping. It's always looked too high, but I think some work to it will also have it leaning a bit less in the corners, so SK's stabilizer bars will probably be my first suspension purchase.

Sooooo many nice cars, so little time to capture them all in photos...

Thanks Mona, it would have been an even better pic with Sam's camera and the right lens attached to it, but I had neither the skill or the right camera (although I am VERY happy with the camera I bought just before Christmas). It's also a shame that most of the cars can't be seen properly because they weren't "perfectly" lined up, but seeing as we were out for a cruise and not a photo shoot, it turned out alright...

definitely not :D

Haha, my sister was asking what your car was, Charlie, and I told her it was a bit of a forgotten '80's icon. She then says to me "OK, so we've got some Miami Vice action going on..."

Yer i didnt go to old pac speedo was dead and went with GTRsean for a cruz home and check some stuff out was a nice cruz glad N1 R33 GTR knew where the cruz was going because we(me&GTRsean) would have got lost

Good work with directions, maps and a nice cruz Moana i just cant read.

I better add the Miami Vice soundtrack to the other '80's tunes I had.

:laugh:

It's white and wiiide, but it ain't no Testarossa.

lol!!! marrrrsss said it perfectly when we were at wisemans 'i'm a man, and i don't read or need directions' or something along those lines! lol!!

'i'm a man, and i don't read or need directions'

Damned straight.

I even mute the speech instructions on my Sat Nav, because no-one's going to tell me when to turn and shit. Especially not the posh British chick whose voice I've selected.

    • 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
