Inner West Crew Whoretown (toowong/st Lucia/kenmore/indooroopilly And Sometimes Sunnybank?)

Finally some clear weather, so got the skyline out instead of the vw.

Driving the skyline in the wet is a major pain in the ass, as the demisters are rubbish and there is no air con, so usually have to drive with the window open, getting rained on...

And that's winthout mentioning the $80 a pop, plastic rear, barely can be called, tyres

Edited by PWND

My windscreen wiper has an issue where it sometimes scrapes the windscreen, quite annoying when you're sitting in traffic, you're ipod is dead, no good cds in the car and all you can hear is metal scraping glass.

My drivers side window also doesn't go up which is awesome for surprise storms.

Don't get me started about driving in the rain lol. The 31 has no heater or A/C and 1 window is never enough to stop the windscreen from fogging up so I end up with all the windows open. My lights are shithouse normally add rain into the mix and I can see about a metre infront of the car for everything else I have to use the force. Can't see out of the back window because of shit tint left over. The wipers are f**ked and seem to readjust whenever they please so one minute they will be fine next they won't make it over to the drivers side or they overshoot it and go off the windscreen entirely.

Certainly makes driving in the rain an adventure...

My 31 is just as pleasant to drive in the rain as it is in the dry

My 32 is good too. Just not when I have to cross epic rivers. The air con demists the rear window, so it doesn't matter that the rear demister doesn't work :banana:

Lol, what an evening. Was feeling energetic this afternoon and decided to tape up the coil packs on the 33, it had a flat battery as well so I went and picked up some jumper cables from a mate and jump started the car. Went out for a drive up to the servo in warner/bray park to pump tyres up. Car just started after putting some petrol in, gave it a bit of a boot to see how the coil packs went now that we'd fixed them up, was all sunshine and roses. Until the car started hunting.

Someone forgot to tighten a hose clamp up.

Had no flat head screwdriver so we called home and got someone to bring my car out, got the car and fixed up the hose clamp. Now my bonnet doesn't open so we were trying to flag down a car. A black 32 drove past us, kept going, a multitude of other cars as well as a white stagea who did a skid around the roundabout and then got chased by an undercover car. So thanks to those two drivers for pulling over! lol. In the end a hot little p plater pulled over and we got it all going :banana:

Question of the day - if you could swap your car for anything within reason (say 20k+ the value of your current vehicle) what would it be?

Mine? A very clean 32 GTR or 34 GTR.

My car with +20k spent on engine mods

you beat me to it John

Mine is 240z, with either a rb26 or similar.

Currently in the market for a reasonable 240z shell :banana:

im actually the same as Martin, I would like another 20k to sink into mine for brakes, new suspension, track rubber, carbon bits and maybe some bigger turbos :banana:

    • 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
