we finally have a good 999 car.... eddie decided using other people's crap was too hard so he purchased quite a nice Emo 8, all prepped up :)

i drove said EMO 8 tonight, it's no GTR but nun the less not bad for an EMO

Ignition Module Needed:

Melinda's car (GTR #832) has new engine fitted and dynoed today by the great guys at GT Auto Garage, but it shit the ignition module half way through. finished the dyno with a lend from a customer car, but had to give it back. I have exhausted my contacts in Brisbane, and will try Just Jap tomorrow morning and see if Steve can bring one with him (if he hasn't already left?)

We are leaving for the drive down tomorrow night though, and would be good to know we have one before we set off..

Anyone with any ideas on where to source one

Cheers

Paul

Thanks for all for the replies guys, great response from the rally community!

We have a couple of leads to chase today in Brissy and and I'll ring the Just Jap guys today as well. Also a couple of modules waiting in Hobart if we need them..

Cheers

I'm arriving in Lonnie saturday. Will have the customary piss up at the Olde Tudor saturday arv/evening.... and this time, Dicky Johnson is joining us :)we finally have a good 999 car.... eddie decided using other people's crap was too hard so he purchased quite a nice Emo 8, all prepped up :)

I heard it comes complete with Bibles and Holy Water.....

A little off topic, especially considering the timing, but I'm going to Tassie with my car (on the boat) in the couple of months. I'm staying at Coles Bay for a couple of nights and won't be straying too far once there. I've got 3 hours to kill on arrival before my wife flies in, and then there is the journey to / from Coles Bay plus any worthwhile detours I could consider. I'm looking for some fun driving roads and thought if anyone would know it'd be the Targa crew.

If you've got any suggestions then perhaps PM so we can keep this thread clean(er).

Cheers.

That's easy Nick, take a run up the east coast to The Sideling, or any of the roads around Elephant and St Mary's Pass. Download a Targa Map and cross reference it, not hard to find great roads in Tas! :D

I have one I am not using for the next couple of weeks in Melb if you need it. Pretty sure it's at Racepace in Bayswater if you can drop past there and grab it.

Drop me a message if you need it i'll call ahead and make sure its there.

Yeah they're not exactly rare Paul, I'd assume you'd have one by now?

Yeah you wouldn't think so Woo but trying to get a good one locally yesterday was near impossible. Thanks to the JustJap boys and the Hobart connection at Moonah Auto Spares, there will be a couple waiting for us in Launceston.

It split the front turbo oil drain pipe on its last dyno run today, and had to get that from Sydney too, not a one to be found here..Hopefully that's the last of the issues?

Leaving at 5.00 in the morning, see you all in Tas

Thanks heaps Burgz. hopefully we won't need it but good to have a spare. The one JustJap Steve is bringing down is straight off his car & proven good. He has changed to a R34 setup bacause he was sick of these failing all the time. Catch up with you for a beer down there..

Cheers

    • 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
