Damn Damo my old rims look good!

Was there most of the day with my mate and his white R1. Bugged him all day to start the thing up haha. I think SAU looked best for the presentation of the cars but the Holden club won it on numbers I think.

Oh and the Busa winning best New Age bike was an absolute joke. Apparently he's on the committee that organises the show.

Cars looked good guys, well done!

was an awesome day! one of the best events i have been too. around 300 cars i think it was?

Happy to take home "best presented car in club display" :(

Was good to meet/catch up with some fellow members who love to talk shit just as much as i do. Steve, your a f**king laugh, best gay accent ever. Trying to convince the mrs to get that 4 door 34 off ya :ermm:

ill defintly be doing old school n new age again thats for sure

Yep definately keen on that again cara

I reckon Feral... I mean... FEDERAL... should leave the tyre making business and go into making hats. The freebie FEDERAL hat I got is pretty comfy! Best hat I've worn I reckon. Cant say the same for the Nissan hat I've bought though - make some fair awesome cars though :O

steve your one funny character mate

would have been a whole lot boring if you werent there mate

yeah but next time I'll be more careful, when Steve asked what to bring , I requesting a half dozen half naked girls,,next time in real life mate not a ralph 3D mag..lol

accents , hey I resemble that, was that the reason why my ears burned and a random troy name was throw out..American accent..lol

Dans a boob man,, who would have guessed???, must have hid them well. or found them in the sinking Toyota truck on the beach front

so is steve, or at least the red R34 is..lol who has the boob photos?

next year we get first place, golf course greens, smoke machines, dragons, fuzzy dashes, pftttttttt

since they allowed a engine start up, we needed a flame throwing RB to stun the crowds..lol and a R35 GTR

how come we have so many skyline owners on this forum, but only about 30 regulars who come around to events, if that ? not everyone is working or busy are they ? got time to sit online for days on end? be nice to see a massive turn out for a change,

at least we had 16 cars and a few other lines from others floating around

one bonus is we had the free stuff girls passing out a massive amout of stuff to us.....lol see some of you missed out

and we got parked right at the front gate. nice

sign me up for next year for sure, always a good day out

Dont forget that idea we came up with for the next show Steve! :O

Roger copy that, James - might blow the doors of the boys in the Homodore - im mean Camiradore club :D

Oh and Troy next time I'll bring everyone 3d glasses & I try and steal an R35 Gtr From somewhere but I might enter that with the Dragon Crew - that car has to be one of the best examples I have seen, I reckon that car was in son of rajab of The Rings I am sure I saw Frodo driving it sidways out of the Shire!!!

The Bass VT Comodore with the VR/Vs Statesman wheels on it that made my day - Raw Aussie Bogan!

    • 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.
