lol!!! ouch!!! poor greg! is it bad?! and you said mishaps? did he kiss the walls a couple of times? :D

Yep twice. rear and front.

He is alright thankgod.. car is nearly fixed, I just picked up the front bar last night.

nasty. well i imagine greg's car would be a bit of a handfull in the wet. and hey you have to find the limit somehow.

Yes it was but he was doing pretty well most of the day.

hang on... which greg are we talking about? and which car?

Greg as in your turn 10 wall smashing buddy at eastern creek :D

and say no to concrete kids. i still have the sticker somewhere, i'm sure fatz has heaps as he knows all about the wall love.

Haha I bet he does!

ahh, cool. for some reason I thought you had a boyfriend named greg and for a minute I thought oh noes he'd smashed your car. but yeah, greg boyle. makes sense now since you did say 'hit the wall again'. lol. don't mind me, I'm not always the sharpest tool.

poor greg not getting much joy at either EC or OP, but I seem to remember he was FTD or pretty damn close last time at EC so there is bound to be a few 'offs' when you are pushing that hard. and hey, it is a race car afterall.

Haha I did like a year ago, no one gets to drive my car except for mechanics and people I know aren't going to do anything stupid in it.

Did you have too much beer again baron? lol..

Yea Im glad he was alright it was a pretty bad one.. I didn't realise what had happen until a min later.. I ran up the pits to see if he was alright..

I guess this is the down side to racing cars that you just have to take that risk and especially on the day like it was on sat

haha, well at least I didn't pull it out of thin air!

yeah, greg is a pretty good steerer and turns out some very nice cars too so it wont be any more than a blip on the radar for him.

and yep, that is the downside to taking cars to the track. pretty much anytime you head out onto the circuit you can end up in the wall. most of us are lucky enough to avoid it for most of the time but sometimes it just happens. not much we can do but have a giggle and move on :)

The good thing is that he got back on the horse the next day. He made some pretty good times at wakie for driving an S13 with a stock rb20 in it.

1.13

just goes to show that track work is definitely not about the amount of power a car makes! :) its more then handling and driver skills! :domokun:

Yep! Thats why Boz is faster in my car than I am lol..

    • 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
