standard bulbs are in :D

Wonder if the cop shop is open tomorrow?

@thrustion, all good bro, just thought I'd ask <3

<3 all good mang

reckon I can get out of my defect/fine because he wrote the body type as 'SEDAN' when it's actually a coupe? :cool:

lol! cant believe you got defected

and i totally agree - your HIDs owned my stock bulbs in the hills - keen to have another go man once im all tuned up - and i have new bulbs :D

around a week or so bro!

*touch wood*

@ Dan_B:

I sent ERD Dan a message asking about the filter for the 4WD system. If I can get one do you reckon we can fit in a flush/clean/top up on car day?

@ Colin & Martin:

Continuing on from Thursday's discussion. After reading through some more threads I've decided I will keep the 20, and aim for 300HP (all wheel, and not Brandon spec). Then if I wind up buying a Z32 I might convert the Fo' to 25 or bigger. Will this stop you having nightmares about VGs?

@ Andy:

What was the name of that RB management system that you were raving about a while ago that allows you to run without AFMs? Could I use it on my 20? And will it handle what I just said to Colin & Martin?

@ Tristan:

The bulbs that were in Katy when you first got here weren't stock were they? The purpley ones? What have you got in there now? I was wondering if they were the same lights I used to use in the Capri. I had some really good ones, if they're the same (got a pic of the back?) I'll dig out the old box and let you know what they were.

P.S. Can I come for fun drives too? <3

P.P.S. Can't beleive you dogged Michelle :P

@ Jason:

I knew you'd cry if I didn't address you personally, so hey mang *tips hat*

@ Geoff:

hey geoff!

:(

@ everyone else:

What's crackin' mangs?

It's 0530 and I'm so effing bored... Gotta go to Ipswich today to get my new squeaky toys :(

yeah figured as much

you can't see a f*cking thing with standard bulbs. THEY should be illegal, and HIDs should be compulsory

Yeah standard ones are shit compared to HIDs.

I can see just fine with mine :(

Colin's are good too...

Mine are good compared to driving with parkers on. That's about it lol.

<3 all good mang

Will probably get rid of my night terrors yes.

Next week, say mid week?

Interesting proposal. Make Tuesday midweek because I'll be in Brisbane already.

Good morning!

Moaning

300HP out of the 20 should be pretty easy. Will only stop my nightmares if I don't ever have to do any work on the Z32.

Vipecs are good. Can't remember what system Andy was going on about, but I think it was more for SRs than RBs.

yo

i got rid of my original lights (inc bulbs.) when i bought the blue ones

the bulbs in the original ones were those bluey ones they sell at repco for stupid expensive prices (for what they are)

my new bulbs are 100w ones (stock is 60w) - they are sexy, overnight parts from hongkong lol

@p.s. - yeh sure

@p.p.s. - yeeh had to dog - needed to pick up copper nut, and that involved a trip to manly lol

Defect cleared :(

And I fixed my rattle gun :(

Cop that cleared it was almost as much of a douche as the guy that booked me. Complained because all 4 bulbs weren't on for low beam (wtf? High beam bulbs should be on for low beam?) and said the headlights weren't standard. Eventually cleared it but.

Now to waste half an afternoon putting my wheels back on and HIDs back in :P

Edited by Smity42

:rofl:

Good afternoon mangs.

I do reply, I just have to notice it first! There are too many pages to read each night after work :P

Congrats on getting the defect cleared.

    • 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.
