this is an even better souva place, flamed fetish, and you dont need to go through the middle of frankston to get there, they also have hj's, noodle in a box, appetito's, charcoal chicken a fish n chip shop and 2 supermarkets, for those that need fuel there is a safeway/caltex across the road and a mobil is easy to get to, and of course a big car park and the part we will be parking in is mostly empty as it is up the back.

if you keep going to mccormicks road and turn right the mobil is at the corner of ballarto rd and mccormicks.

my vote is down for the 6th at 4, i do night shift so 10am would be a bit hard for me to get to.

hell yeaH!!!! along with a light show =P hahahaha

i've done the full length of it a couple of times now and my god it's awesome. it would probably be better in something that doesn't run on deisel and do 0-100 in like a week and a half, although it is nice to be able to see over the top of everybody :laugh:

All righty Everyone...

Looks like it will be this Sunday, the 6th, meeting at 3:30pm at the Doncaster Park-and-Ride...

I'm still looking at the suggested south meet points...

The first was Melways Ref. 102 A5... ...On the beach between Liddesdale Av and Warringa Rd...

Second was 102 B3... ...The car park for Frankston Pier...

I think W0rp3D suggestion looks good (100 H3)... ...It is just off the end of EastLink where it becomes Frankston Fwy... ...and with the weather looking like it will be cloudy and less than 15ºC... ...Some under cover areas might be good... ...And we don't have to go all the way into Frankston...

And just for the extra Ref... ...Doncaster Park-and-Ride Melway Ref. is 46 J1...

And FYI... ...For some unknown reason... ...I can't Edit the details in my first post...

just so as you know the location i pointed out is not under cover but there are lots of shops and the shopping centre its self to take cover in.

for some reason they have changed the whole board so you cannot edit your posts, makes threads like this and the for sale section a pain in the arse.

Ahh... ...Oh well... ...It just looked like it when I went to Google Maps to have a look for myself...

is anyone else concerned that eastlink itself hasn't shown up on google maps yet?

is this whole eastlink thing just a mass hallucination or something?

according to their satellite images, there is no freeway there at all. just dirt.

damn backwards australians and their dirt freeways...

Just makes it more fun to get the ass out...

i'm in if the weather stays nice and i don't make finals in the tournament im in

if i do make finals i'll have to miss this one

been on eastlink a few times in different spots but think it'll be awesome to do the whole run with a bunch of other lines! can't wait

do we have a time for the frankston meet point?

Oh right... ...Yeah...

I'm guessing it will take about an hour to get down there... ...So lets say 5pm... ...We'll go with 100 H3 (Carrum Downs) as the Frankston meet point... ...The one you pointed out...

I can't get onto the EastLink web site for some reason tonight... ...So I'm not too sure how long it will really take us...

    • 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
    • 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.
