Morning Mangs,

+1

Been here since 7, for that entire time managers have been sitting here with their morning chit-chat routine, preventing me from wasting time on SAU etc :D

How was the weekend?

Good. Won the WDC in a williams, and got a drive in a red bull alongside hitler's youth for next season. G27 is kick arse.

Also regreased all my bushes (that's what she said), car is considerably less squeaky now. Brakes still a bit squeaky and so are the front swaybar links. The swaybar links are pillowball with no grease nipple - I'm not sure how to lube them up. Ideas?

MTB is at the shop to day to get the gears adjusted and brakes fixed up. He didn't seem too optimistic about the brakes though :down:

Sounds like a successful weekend. It was raining all weekend on the coast so I did some assignmenting at uni on Saturday arvo then went home had kfc watched movies and played poker. Sunday I did all my shopping and cleaned the unit then played more poker lol. Played 6k hands and broke even. So lame.

Good moaning.

Morning Mangs,

It was ok. Got stuck inside on Saturday due to the rain and had to watch the AFL GF. It wasn't so bad as I had beers, chips and other assorted artery hardening food stuffs.

Moar grease on teh brakes?? :D

The only way Ican think to lube up the swaybar endlinks is the remove them.

So glad I didn't have to watch either of those GFs... GayFL FTL.

Yeah need to borrow Dan's copper grease again so I can lube them up.

I can remove them, but how to i get grease into the pillowbally bit without a grease nipple?

Nice fail recipe

Mangs,

Weekend was decent. Went to Movie World on Saturday and got some cool t-shirts. Watched some LOST and ate KFC on Sunday.

TAFE is boring today. All repeat info on OH&S. Might pass the time with some Stephen King.

how so?

Probably f**ked calipers. Bleed them up but can't get any feel to them.

f**kin win. The 31 is going to be in a movie :(

WinRar

Do it, you skirt

Got outbid on the head because I'm too much of a lowballer for the buy it now price. Auction didnt meet the reserve anyway but ahwell.

    • 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
