spotted a wine R32 heading toward aldinga, I tried to wave but I was busy avoiding the guy driving 50 in a 100 zone and then the off road course bumps called south road ? damn that road is bumpy near the wine fields

havent had time to post this earlier but during my travels on tuesday arvo...

black r32 on regency rd not far from arndale shopping centre, it looked like the driver quickly turned down a side street when he saw the fun police?? sad.

wine red? r32 on victoria rd with a big front mount. looked clean as.

late 80's early 90's camry on the port river express way with masssssssssssive amounts of blue smoke coming from the exhaust. think the rings are gone dude!! at first we thought someone was doing a burnout until we got closer. unbelievable. hope a cop spotted him and defected that thing.

George, you weren't parked on rundle street couple of days ago during lunchtime we're you? Saw a vspec 34 gtr with massive TE37's... sounded insane.
What makes them ultra rare is teh design. Ill take a photo and show you.

And what do you mean they are huge? I dont remember mentioning a size :cheers: have you seen them?

hearsay :P

Yeah this is a STOCK YELLOW manual here in SA :) Lives at Victor Harbor just near our farm... Good to drive past eveyr so often when i have stag withdrawals when im away.

funny I said that, saw the yellow stag turning onto the bottom of the freeway on my way home from work in mt barker. Got a good wave :D

Also saw a black r32 in the bp at mt barker, anyone from here?

Yeah, the overtaking lanes heading out of Aldinga are rather bumpy, i had a shock the other week, going 100kmph, hit the bumps, some how jump from one to the other then get air. They should have done those overtaking lanes further up, the amount of milkshakes i see doing illegal maneuvers at the overtaking lanes coming into Aldinga is shocking, I'm surprised no ones been hurt yet.

Also spotted a White HR33 skyline in my rearview mirror this morning on south road just after Tatachilla Road, he squeezed in between me and the truck behind me.

I keep spotting a red dr30 on Salisbury Highway, a man drives it. Car looks really nice. Saw him turning from Waterloo Cnr Rd onto Salisbury Hwy last week and then from Salisbury Hwy to Kings Rd yesterday, gave him a wave, but i think his mind was elsewhere. I was in the stag both times... anybody on here?

Also was behind a red 34 with a red rear spoiler today around 8.30pm on turning onto Salisbury Hwy from Kings rd. Didn't see the front of it.

There was a few other spottings over the past week i was trying to remember.. but i've forgotten.

    • 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.
