In news today, offically have been promoted at work to head lotus tech/senior technician, also been given a payrise.

Well done mang.

If you're allowed to say, what company do you work for?

Work for Euromarque Brisbane, have done for 6 years now.

Martin bit of a tough one there, Team Lotus or Lotus-Renault. I do prefer the Lotus-Renault for the traditional JPS colour scheme, will be a good year though for them, massive factory upgrade, new importer into the country (don't have to deal with proton anymore) and new models coming out, looks like i'll be a little busy.

Congrats.

Hahah yer scott i couldn't resist! i thought you would have been freaked out a little.

Pretty sure the brumby has broken something in the box, when you accelerate it sounds like a clicking CV, when cruising along it makes the same noise / bearing noise also but that all goes when you push the clutch in and coast along. So im thinking i'll get a good condition gearbox and a new clutch to throw in, i'll also replace the CV boots and inspect them for wear. Thoughts?

Yeah, had me wondering what was going on! A second hand box and clutch will cost you a lot less than a hilux or a WRX......The Brumby should keep on truckin' on when you have sorted.

Started off wiping/cleaning/polishing peoples tools and now he's been promoted to a glorified Coffee boy... :nyaanyaa:

BTW, which coffee shop do you go to??

/\ AND this.

Glad that's sorted :D

McFly, all the fiddly bits are done on youe ECU now. Just need t ofit the chip socket and we're away!

I did find a 5 speed conversion on ebay, complete with tail shaft and rear diff for $595.... thinking i might go that way with it.

damn right!

hey jon you've got mates in the wrecking business, i need a dual range 4 speed gearbox for a 1991 subaru brumby. How much you think that would go for?

cant remember seeing 1 in wreckers for while but ill ask a mate of mine, his family repairs/builds subarus for a living mainly wrx's etc, he has a 2dr sti wrx and a brumby with twincam turbo motor.

worth a shot, has alot of old shitas laying around...

jon.

yer 4 speed with a hi/lo ratio is the normal thing for them, if you can find a 5 speed box i would need the gearbox, rear diff and tailshaft.

hurry up dent repair man, i have sleep to catch up on...

damn these 5am starts...

sick as a dog too... why is it so hard to get the good shit at the chemist these days...

i wasted $16 on some bullshit cold and flu yesterday and its done nothing, give me the farkin good stuff...

im not going to turn it into speed, i just want it cause it works...

i should take back the other shit and make them refund it, its shit...

Morning Mangs,

Road the bike into work. Didn't appear to take any less time but I did enjoy going to the front of the lights every time :thumbsup: So where is lazserhunt this week?

    • 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
