Far out she looks shiny there. If I ever decide to sell this is the pic to use, as the paint looks in great shape in that pic.

Just needs a bit more rear camber and low :)

Miso your car is epic! But you already know I think this,

I vote if you're not going to slide it an have 380hp that you should man up and ditch the triangles on the back and get something legit!

Pending size I'll buy the triangles off you when you do :)

Triangles ?

I have a set of 350z rims with new federals sitting at home, but just have to sort out the catch can in the engine bay before i go and really flog the car.

The plan down the track is to give the rears a slight flare so I can fit proper sized rubber on the meisters, but that's still at least 6 months away, probably more depending on how expensive raising twins proves to be

I saw your new rims painted. looking forward to seeing them on the car. What width and offset were they again?

Triangles ?

They are the epic brand of tyre I have on the back. $80 a pop. Combining the fact they are 235's stretched onto a 10 inch rim and them being of the worst rubber compound I have ever driven on, they make driving interesting.

Most awesome cat EVER:

That is awesome. Mind you, my cat keeps trying to attack our german shepherd. Through the fly screen though.....

don't want to think what would happen if I oppened the screen door.

A. Dog gets in and tears the cat apart

B. Cat gets out and slaps the fark out of my 45kg dog

Neither outcome is desirable

Hey man. Going back to work today after being off since the weekend. Actually looking forward to it, but it's gonna be a struggle.

Sup whichuuuuuuuuuuu?

Morning Mangs,

F*CK cops. Got pulled over and harrased this morning for honking my horn at a douche that didn't give way to me.

I entered the roundabout right (to be fair I didn't slow down much/at all, but I wasn't speeding and there was no one coming) and then while I am on the roundabout this fool just pulls out in front of me so I get on the horn.

Dunno where the cop car came from but he saw me, followed me for a bit then pulled me over. RBT and licence check then gave me a lecture about how I was in the wrong because the dude was already on the roundabout I needed to give way to him. I was like I SAW him enter the roundabout in front of me when I was already on it, he should have given way to me. Cops were all "Do you know the road rules", "YES I know the road rules: Give way to vehicles already on the roundabout, ie ME". Nup, lecture on road rage etc... Gave up in the end with a sarcastic "OK, I'll beleive you, I'm sorry."

F*ckers, at least they didn't give me a ticket (probably because they knew I actually was in the right).

Obligatory google maps shot:

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&sou...002908&z=19

I entered the roundabout from Dayboro Rd (going to Gympie Rd), el douchebag entered from Anzac Ave (going to Gympie Rd). Apparantly I'm meant to give way? Maybe the f*cking cops should check their road rules...

    • 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
    • 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.
