I spotted Ben in his RS260 on Port Wakefield Rd this arvo - we were in the blue Honda Accord next to you at the lights ogling your beast .... damn your car is loud! When you took off from the lights it woke my 8 month old in the back seat :( - the wife was not happy - I smiled though :):P:D mmmmm RB26 powaaaaaaahhhhhhh

think last night(?) i spotted flick on montague rd, near corner of nth east. tried to go round the block and catch up but ya lost me.

just spotted Thirty 1 :P gave a flash of my lights and way and got a toot when i pull off elizabeth st :)

beat me too it.. got a mate that lives on that street, am up there alot these days.

also on way home got a beep from sly 34 (yellow gtt) on nelson rd. sounds nice.

when i see your car at his house i will blast my air horns i tried to this afternoon but sometimes doesn't work with wheel turned

lol.. ill listen out for it. just yell loudly if it doesnt work. lol

people who drive like that in the city need a good smack in the chops, and a knee to the meat and two veg.

No shit, and at a time when there is a lot of people walking around making their way to clubs etc. Fking twat.

I have to drive my 32 into town quite often for work and drive off boost the whole time I'm in the CBD, yet thanks to fkwits like this I'm targetted by the 5-0 and count myself lucky to have not been defected yet :)

Sorry Andrew! lol! Well sorry to your wife, id expect that you would have appreciated hearing it! Funny thing is I did notice someone checking out the car but i didnt click that it was you, i was in a world of my own tho, like a 5 year old in a candy shop pretty much! lmao!

I was out doing some kms over the weekend on the fresh motor before the tunning is finished off. I just wanted to drive it, even if its only running low boost its still quicker than the gtr, and oh so much louder! lol! :woot:

yeah no worries mate - if Tyler hadn't been sleeping in the back I would have wound down the window and said hi - but I didn't want to wake him. That didn't last long though when you took off anyhow :woot: - it's all good - sounded sweet as! You got a bit of rear wheel spin as she came on boost too - very nice.

Well atleast next time you know its inevitable that it will wake anyone in a 2km radius so you may aswell say hi! lol! Yeah it does try and spin when its running in rwd, funny thing is that was only on 13psi! :woot: Im waiting to see what it will do on 23psi, but i dont rekon i'll get to try that in rwd, front shaft will be back in then! :D

Yep ... that 260 is f**king loud mate. :D

Good to see the 260 stag once again Ben. If you wanna put any more kms on the odometer, throw the car my way and I'll take care of it for you. :D

Thanks for coming out and having dinner and playing Halo 2 with us :woot: ... even if the girls were talking about wedding cakes! eek! Thinking now I should have taken my stag out instead of jumpinginto your car, so we had two black Stageas cruising Port Adelaide. Ah well, next time.

See you and Nene Friday night :D ... ssshhhhhhhhh! :(

Hey Roo, i should have gotten nene to bring the silver rs4 out, then tracy could have driven your silver one, then we would have had 2 balck and 2 silver stageas, kinda funny that between the two of us we can offically have our own stagea cruise! :woot:

That chicken was good last night, dont know why they dont show it on the menu, lucky we asked! lol

Thats being a bit of an inconsiderate anti-car pooling thing to say Ben :D Think green dude! :D

Silver Stag still needs the glass put in ... I've been lazy! BTW you should have claimed your trolley jack back last night ... its now officially mine :woot:

Ahh you dont work far from me hey Dohmar? Im GHD building (aka the ugliest building in town).

Spotted BLKSKY on Grenfell this morning

Which one is that? I have to say theres a lot of candidates for ugliest building. Is GHD number 45 or something?

Luciano works in the SA Water building which Im looking at right now from my office on the 8th floor

    • 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.
