I wonder if we were the reason cops were up at Mt Lofty. Couple of hours earlier I went up there with the 2 boys from Diamonds Cameras, one has the new Maserati & the other brother has the new Porsche Carrera S4 4WD.....we tore the roads up on the way there but took it easy coming down. They were both a little suprised what a Jap car was capable of when you consider their combined value is almost $600K.

I used a full tank of petrol last night, overcooked the clutch & brakes and probably lost 1/2 the tread on my tyres which is why I didn't catch up with you guys later.

so its you causing the sudden rise in petrol costs :(

and by tore the roads you mean got out the cars and performed neccessary road maintenence/repair on the inadequate surfaces you found on the way up :)

whoever owned the blue 32 that looked like kye's was prob freaked out by me :D i was sure it was kye's, it even had gtr seats in it but then i noticed the plates and i was look oops.

good ta see you all again guys, sorry couldnt stay for the cruise but next time ill put in some extra effort to stay out.

Unfortunately things got a little screwed up last night, but still it was a good cruise. The tunnels were sweet. I read the Windows up instruction as windows down :( Ahh music to my ears hehehe

Pete sounds like you had as much fun as steve and i... maybe a bit more :(

steve thanks again champ that was tops!

i went through about 3/4 of a tank enjoying the hills aswell but god dam its worth it!

To those who didnt follow the cruise map, we did wait for yas, but unfortunately you guys went straight instead of right at the lights in pt adelaide!

the rb26 drags... to 60... were hot, makes me wanna wind the boost up ;)

im done driving for a few weeks, playing taxi has taken it out of me haha, i went through a tank easy this weekend, but so worth it.

Definately nice to start meeting more people, name badges can be supplied (like me and rad33) in the future :D

yeah not wrong Ryan....I've been up that road a million times but it was the 1st time in a car that doesn't feel like a boat....I realized that the car could be pushed alot further than I was prepared to do so.

I caught up with Nick tonight (owner of the Carrera) and he's gonna send me some pics of the cars that went up, I think there might be a bit of video somewhere too, and I'll post the stuff up this week.

yeah I'm hanging out to see the pics too.........I might give it a bit of a rest between drinks I think, it was a real hairy ride and I need to get the driver's seat cleaned before another one of those episodes.......those new 4WD Porches are ridiculous on those twisties and they put the power down in a very linear manner whereas my thing was an absolute handfull with the boost turned up abit more and almost 500hp at the wheels.

We both took a 20 minute breather at the top to calm the nerves down before driving back down.

HEY nothing wrong with 1 turbo and AWD :P;)

check you PM Chad

NPZ Mark had a ball driving you around :D

Pete when you need a driver i will make my services available ;)

OK! one turbo is enough, thats looks like fun, must of made you dizzy! ;):)

    • 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
