Hey! You better be quiet or i'll tell everyone about your Monaesque moment at the Caltex :thumbsup:

oops!!! *shuts up*

*giggles quietly on the side*

*cough*

f*kN LIES! i was chattin away to ya :thumbsup: or trying to at least...

Yeah i knew you were turning, but i couldn't legally turn left from the right lane...

Its no big deal, i was only going to the meet to see how many people there were, if there was a lot, i was going to come... Instead, I went back to sleep...

lol!!! so you'd only come if it was a big cruise? pft! wheres the dedication! either way you missed out! :D

Sorry I missed it guys.

I actually did Nasho / Macquarie Pass last night, and just as I got to Waterfall it started to rain. It was quite interesting to drive the rest of the route in the rain and fog, especially on R-Comp semi slicks...

Anyway, didn't get home until 6AM and then slept through my alarm.

Best. road. ever.

lol

It is fun, but NUP.

Best road ever IMO is the Alpine Way in Thredbo. Went to the snow about a month ago and decided to take the long way back. Never been there before and it was a fluke that we hit that road. It's like 74km of REALLY REALLY twisty windy roads. No turnoffs, no line markings, no barriers, no deer, no cops, well paved, no potholes or cracking. You can take the corners wide as you want, as quick as you are comfortable with, but your reflexes must be spot on as you get the occassional car coming the other way. The speed limit is 80km, but in honesty, it's very hard to hit that much because its so very dangerous(massive cliff drops everywhere) and I was caning it in the Ford we hired, ice and all. Took about 1.5hrs all up.

Beautiful scenery, it takes you through the Snowy Mountains Hydro System.

I had a massive smile all the way it was so much fun!!! It's like one of those roads you see the guys testing on Top Gear!

Oh to take the Skyline there :D

Someone organise a cruise to that road!!! It'll be like a 10hour drive all up, but I guarantee it will be one of the best driving experiences you will ever have.

My favourite road in Australia at the moment still has to be the Black Spur in Victoria.

I used to love the Great Ocean Road but the surface isn't quite as good as Black Spur and there's also a lot more traffic (including a lot of arseholes that call the cops on you because you want to drive at your pace and they can't be f**ked using the thoughtfully-placed turn-out bays).

I haven't done the Alpine roads in NSW yet, but by all accounts they're an awesome drive. The NSCC used to do annual multi-day cruises through there before the snow season, and they adore the roads.

Was great to catch up with you skyline buddies again after nearly 2 years..I am a Nissan boy again. I was in 350z..Missed my R34 :-(..BTW i was going for a drive to Wollongong without knowing about this cruise when i noticed skylines at Heathcote Caltex so i turned around flashed at you guys when you were leaving.

Your car looks Tough!!! loving those rims

Sorry I dogged it guys. Once i realised it wasn't gonna stop raining on Saturday night (moreso friday morning :)) I kept drinking, copped the worlds biggest headache sunday morning. Still would of gone but cruises in the rain im not the worlds biggest fan.

Glad to hear everyone had fun though :( I will attend a cruise one day!!

yea i knew we were going the wrong way.. then thought, ahh someone probably knows a shortcut.

We got there 20kms later..

According to whereis, it should only take 59kms from my house.. it took us 79kms.. hahah

    • 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
