There is a Nandos at Kenmore near the maccas.
once again, near st lucia coles is quiet good as well, as there is a fair bit of eye kandy walking around at that time too
There is a Coldrock/ 7Eleven/Dominoes/Indian in Kenmore.. about 1 minute from Baskins

I am good with any of these options. I am a particularly big fan of eye candy and also cold rock.

It was M-Webb's fault...

:)

cold rock is win

QFT

It'll bother him when the money we spend doesn't turn up. I just see no point in going back if he can't even reply to a message. I don't think it's a great idea to turn up and loiter... it might attract the defect squad.

You have a point. I may do a scouting run though to determine if grace/grace/morgan are working :D

Does the McDonalds near Nandos have a McCafe? I'm keen for a Thursday coffee. Noel, seeing as a few of us are going to be buying food there, I doubt very much if they'll care about you turning up with fish and chips or something. And if they do, too fucking bad.

There is a "Plum Cafe" there according to google. Dunno if it will be open or not though. Also, pretty sure that's a "Yes" on the McCafe: http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&sou...2,336.73,,1,-10

I don't want to be organising this shit at 6pm on Wednesday.

THIS.

stones corner baskins FTW

Eww. South side.

It's got a decent car park though I guess... I'm assuming you actually mean Greenslopes and not Stones Corner? The one in with the Subway and Nightowl?

Is there coffee there?

This whole BNR thing is so petty.

Either way, I'm happy to go where ever. But I would prefer something that I dont HAVE to buy something. That and I don't want to have to have dinner there. Nando's has nothing but chicken. Unless they do double choc chicken thickshakes, I'm not interested. :D

Ike Scream, Cake, coffee, cafe, lounge, bar, club, chill place..... All good.

A big enough crowd will usually cause the obligatory visit from the 5-0's. especially when there is a line of 'them, those damn boy racer imports'....

Perhaps we need to do a recce' run around the local cafe's to see their me 'n' you's, and parking arrangements. Might find a nice place that isn't too busy.

Baskins doesn't do real boysenberry though :D

Chapel hill was only worth it for the JB

I agree, cold rock would be my preference!

cause thats soooo much different to being on the South West :)

Its still in the suburb of stones corner but not in the one street that every one associates with stones corner, its the one on logan road across from super cheap so yeah i think we are talking about the same one. Supercheap is the best place to park as the carpark in there can get a little hectic.

As for coffee, I dont drink it so I cant remember!

Doesn't count as south until you cross the river :)

You guys can pick OldCock if you want, I'm just not buying anything from there is all. I don't care if that's where we go though. I'll bring food/coffee with me.

There is no "suburb of Stones Corner". Stones Corner is a locality, not a suburb; like Tenneriffe, St Johns Wood, Rainworth, Rosalie, Jubilee, Hill End, Petrie Terrace, Colmslie, Queensport, Ekibin, Wellers Hill, Ironside, Buranda, Myrtletown, Oxford Park, etc. So I don't associate any street with Stones Corner. :/

Wow thats interesting, it used to have its own post code and even a suburb division on mapping, but it seems now you are right! I used to live in vine street back in the day and its street adress was vine street stones coner, now it would seem it has all been split up

Localitlies have never been real suburbs, local council/zoning does what it wants with them and always changes the rules. Some have post codes and are still used for address purposes for sorting, but they don't actually "exist". For the most part, people just use them in their address for the wank factor (ESPECIALLY St Johns Wood residents, because it's only accessible by one road, that has a bridge over the creek). If you have a look in the refidex you'll see stones corner inside the Greenslopes border. You'll also see it says "Stones Corner" and "GREENSLOPES" only the ones in uppser case count as real suburbs. All those ones I listed before are "Proper Case" and localities... as long as I didn't cock one up... it's been a whlie since my localities rant :D

Oh, and Vine St is totally a Greenslopes St, has been for quite a while, so must have been shortly after you left that the zoning changed back.

Here is that P plater crash on the M1. The car somehow cleared the centre barrier and got stuck in the damn bushes

I drove past that on saturday heading southbound!

Also there is cafe on the corner between the nandos and maccas in kenmore. Its not tooo bad.

lol haven't been here in a few days, what happened with bnr?

beezlebub do you take your 32 out to the bnr meat? If it's not too much to ask could you maybe take me for a little drive in it? Haven't been in a more than stock gtr so want to get a idea of "seat of the pants" feel from one. As I've been driving a 400rwkw xr6t the past few weeks for work and wondered if it were similar in a gtr.

Yeah totally get what you are saying, stones corner used to have its own little red border in the refidex, but doesnt now!

OMG JOHN! I THINK I CAN FINALLY CORRECT YOU AND YOU CANNOT REBUT WITH BULLSHIT, BUT JUST HAVE TO COP IT

Teneriffe is a suburb :)

maybe if you play with his meat :(

    • 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.
