Hi Peeps,

Just thought I would post this up as I stubbled across it..

Top Gear (English) are doing a world tour..They are coming to Sydney in February 2009 and tickets are on sale Thursday 16th October through ticketek.. They will be here in Oz for 4 days doing shows from Thurs 5th Feb to Sun 8th Feb.

There is going to be a car show and a 75 minute live show at Acer Arena with the guys we all love Jeremy Clackson and Richard Hammond!!

" Top Gear Live is a motoring theatre spectacular that not only brings the TV show format to life, it is injected with more performance enhancements than a disgraced sprinter. Don't miss Jeremy, Richard and James presenting never before seen stunts, amazing special effects and blockbusting driving sequences featuring some of the world's best precision drivers.

But that's not all, the performance arena is not just the supercar-fest you might expect, it leaps, bounds and bulldozes its way through a heady mix of thrills and spills to once and for all prove that the boys from Top Gear do in fact have the best jobs in the world. "

Had to share this cause so excited and would be an awesome Christmas present!

Jess

So at the ACER Arena, will I be sitting or standing for the Top Gear Show? Or do I bring along the rear bench seat outta the old FJ?

Might have to pull out my Nismo Jacket (8pm 7/2/09) and put a spare SAU sticker on it if they let me sit in my wheelchair at the front! :down:

    • 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
