So what are the chances that anyone that is coming up has room for a set of rims? My roll cage means the end of my rear seats these days.

If I get around to build my wheel rack for the trailer, will have room for 2 sets.

Damn, better get my ass into gear and get my car ready.

Borrow a trailer dude?

hahahaha...........

Funny you mentioned that. I asked my boss this morning if my new company HILUX is covered by insurance should i be towing for personal use :). He said that he isn't sure and will have to check with the insurance company, so there is still hope.

Whether the car will be finished is still not 100% :(

- Engine out today (hopefully)

- engine bay/car stripped by Friday

- hopefully Jack picks up car and delivers to my mate's place, on Friday

- Mate, preps and paints bay (1 week, two weeks, don't know: he has a full time job and is doing this on the side).

- In the meantime: EAS assemble complete engine with plenum, turbo, manifold, etc.

- Car goes back to EAS Perfomance

- All parts get fitted

- Engine in

- Fabrication of various other parts

- Car taken to exhaust shop

- Powder coating of certain components

- final assembly

- Light tune

- Bedding in engine (1000km)

- Service and full tune.

Either way, i think i may still come and if i do i'll bring the work ute/Hilux so i'll have plenty room for tyres, tools, etc.

PROVIDED: I have at least one passenger to keep me company on the trip and possibly share the driving :)

I hope your car is ready. But if its not, you should still come. Save me the horrible drive by letting me put my car on your trailer and we can tag team my car at Wakefield and Eastern Creek. Only conditionis you have to give it plenty of gate past where im spectating. :)

All you bastards and your fence jokes, definately staying out of that paddock this time!

I should have room for a set of rims in my car as it will hold 4 x 18 rims on tyres. :)

Nice one Ant! Should be a good trip.

Just bought a R33 gtr tonight so I'll have to see if I can get it ready for the trip if not the trusty 32 will be there. If I can or can't get the 33 registered it will be my new track whore.

When did you hit a fence Saff????

Yeh I bought that one! Dam cheap and straight.

Might just have to tie up Tash and drive the car into the lake in one piece like the guy on the weekend at Mordy.

Now just need to mod it right but the 32 might have to go first.

Wow. so much for 32 loyalty... :domokun:

I'm out............................again :blink:

Car went to my mate's place today, but wont be ready for approx. 3 weeks, leaving next to no time for all the other stuff.

I can not justify the trip, financially, when i wont be entering the track days. So i'll just re-organize my work leave and see if i'll do a Tassie trip early next year.

    • 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
