lol, yeah he's a nutcase

Let me know when - ill come and have a go aswel :(

Nice work Steveo good to hear its back on the road, I hope to have mine done by Xmas.

Should I bring a broom for Wakefield this weekend or will you be able to contain yourself?

Ive got some spare bits left over if you're after any strange bits

Can you bring one please? Dont forget your apron this time :D

i blocked off one of the restrictors only, theres a few rb30's without them that run fine.

Have to wait and see what it will be like with constant high revs

I wouldn't sweat it mate. plenty of high power RB26s running fine without an external oil drain. as long as things are done properly. block off a feed, and get the internal oil returns ported out a bit and cleaned up so they flow more. much easier and seems to work very well. that's what I've done with my donkey. I might still add an external return to be safe, but if you do ad one, try and put it in the right spot. just replacing the rear welsh plug like so many do is not the way to go.

hahaha very happy for ya mate, i'll have to make a trip to Syd again, I wanna see your beast on the road!

I wouldn't be planning that trip any time soon..... :)

So whats the damage Steveo, anything major?

Dont know yet, its sitting in a garage all dirty - ive got to clean it tonight (or tomorrow) and call the mechanic a bit later today to see about the next step. Id prefer to pull it apart where it is now cause anything out of place......well.......will look clearly out of place, but that may affect the warranty so im not touching it (and neither is anyone else) until i know what will affect the warranty and what wont

OH

    • 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
