... or move to another country :)

That would also have the added bonus of cars not being quite so ridiculously overpriced like they are here!

Overpriced? Hahaha you have no idea what overpriced is! Coming from Singapore, I'm very happy with the price I got my GTR here :P

EDITED: Thought I might add this

All you bitches txt me so I've got every1s number. John do you still want picking up tomorrow? Let me know what's going on lol. I'm in work atm stealing internets haha.

My phone is roooooooted too, so I can't send SMS. Yes I still want pick up though. I'll PM you my number and address. I can still receive SMS just can't send *shrug*

No lies

Astro is a tease

:D

Yeah but hes worth it :)

:P

TBH this thread should really merge with whoretown...

oh hellllllss no

Im losing my voice.

sorry i didnt want to spray on your face...

Quick Martin post up some more pics like the one you did in the "any chance of getting out of a speeding fine" thread before they close it down . . . lol

What'd I miss in there? Anything good?

No friggin' way!

*nods*

Hahaha. Considering we've even got guys down the coast whoring here!

You're not helping :)

Maybe iphone is just shit.

This is true. But both mine and johns are not iphones.

No, just some pictures I posted to make dan happy, but they are in this thread now

New cars I mean :P

Taking the USA as an example, and BMW: click. Convert to AUD then compare to the prices over here.

Or look at Audi. New S5, list prices...

$AU138,600... or $US52,400.

Go us.

Heh ouch, $AU 58k

Ah well at least there's somewhere that's getting screwed over harder than we are! There's some kind of disincentive for buying cars there I'm guessing?

oh hellllllss no
No friggin' way!
Apart from the well-worn old argument of "but it's for people in my area"... why not? You'd pretty much have whoretown to yourselves, and it's not like this thread is really restricted to "inner west" any more so that point is moot anyway. You'd still be post whoring a random thread on a public forum :D

Mine hasn't had any problems :)

So many phones having problem. Maybe I should keep using my first generation V3... Hahaha.

Revhead: Yea... because Singapore is smaller than Brisbane so the gov came up with a money making idea to reduce the number of vehicles on road. Maybe it does help a little but every year when I'm back for holidays, there's still shit loads of cars on road. Considering SGD early this year was almost 1:1 with AUD, its still very exp for a brand new Civic.

But guess what. Import rules are worse there as any cars older than 3yrs cannot be import. Which means the number of 32/33/34 gtrs in sg are VERY limited. I heard theres only 1 33GTR in sg and was sold early this year for around 130k.

Ah yeah that makes sense. It's annoying when they artifically inflate the prices of things to make them unattractive, but what can you do

Holy shitballs

Because whoretown is full of people posting to get their counts up, or random posts unrelated to the one ahead of it. This thread isn't just 'our area' it's 'our group' with the occasional visitor. This thread is where we comminicate with each other on a daily basis. To have to wade through twice as much crap, from people we don't know, would just make it frustrating trying to keep up with the conversation we're trying to have with our friends.

Merging the two threads is completely pointless, and if you look harder, you'll see it's actually a foolish idea because the two threads are very very different. Whoretown is just a pointless thread for whoring, and it's nothing special and going nowhere big.

This thread actually does still follow it's theme. If you read every page in this thread like most of us have. You'll see that even though it's not all 'west' the other people that post here do come and visit us regularly in the western suburbs. A couple of us are from the north, but we go every week to hang out. A few of us are from south, or deep south, but meet up every week. Those of us who don't go every week at least have gone, or have strong ties to the group and this thread.

This thread may seem like a pointless whore thread, but it's not pointless whoring to us. To us it's having fun with our group or crew or whatever you'd like to call it. We trouble shoot in here, offer each other advice, jibe each other, etc... just like we do in person. In essence this thread is an extension of our meets, not just a 'random thread'.

If you close this thread or merge it, then I feel every other thread in 'events' or any thread even hinting at a meet or cruise or whatever, should also be merged into whoretown.

Hahaha... thats John for you. Maybe make Whoretown a sub forumsection instead of a topic? That way it'll work as s brothel with a lot of whores in it.

There's already a wasteland section. But this is QLD related, so there's no point moving this into wasteland. There's no point moving it at all. It serves it's intended purpose. And isn't that what threads are meant to do to still be considered valid?

    • 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.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
