Yea thats just part of owning an import. At least you're on the right track of fixing shit up first. But after everything's fixed, all your coin's gonna go into mods.

Not really having the same conversation as us are you? :D

Umm... no it won't. This car isn't a modifier. Apart from cosmetic modification it's not getting squat until I replace it as my daily. Then it can get modded and thrashed on the track.

That's it I don't crack the shits with it (even more so) and sell it.

thanks man, none of it is really anything I feel like attacking myself. I think I just need to save up some coin and get it a top to toe engine/electrical service

Yeah thats prob the best option . . . I tried to do a few things to mine when I first got it, I found myself cutting corners and dodging it up jus to get it back on the road . . . Getting someone else (EFI) to do it meant it was all done properly and professionally and I didnt have to worry about it.

buckshot + bonnet = speed holes FTW! :D

the FPV ones? Yeah, why?

my old rims ( the ninja photo ) i might be able to get them back from a mate. if so you can borrow my FPV ones if you like

Yeah after I get my cooler on in Feb, Im not doing any more mod's till it comes of the road in Sep and I replace it as my daily.

I still don't believe that photo exists :D

But I'd never knock back use of rims/tyres that won't get me killed!

Martin - Is it faily easy to install a switch for my reverse light so I can turn it on and off and not worry about getting booked?

I had to wait 5 mins yesterday for a cop to leave the car park before me... so of course I looked suss as buggery watching him, waiting.

true, at least it gets me from here to there for the moment.

However a $1500 datsun would have too... :D

Don't knock the datsuns!

Like a manual switch? Yeah that would be pretty easy.

    • 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
