You're not wrong there.

The car is booked in for a tune at EFI on Wednesday. Need to fit Nistune, drop front shaft and up the boost a little before then.

For some reason i read that as Wallangarra. Wasn't any sort of weird trail fixing afterall.

Hope it all turns out well, I'll have to save like hell and hope I can get more done before too long. Mine is only set for 7.5PSI with a good 3-4 more to come as it stands but not sure if I wanna keep her as she is or go all out... Glad I dont have to worry about dropping driveshafts ect, keep us informed.

They'll set the boost when they tune it.

Not with the way my boost control works....

I didn't realise it was as bad as it was made out to be. Welcome To California...

you get off work at 12:30 on a Friday? nice deal

I haven't done much all day. Does that count?

Thanks mate. Your's turned out ok, except for the big dollars. 155kw for stock boost is good. Going all out costs too much...:wacko:

Yeah I know but it's possible plans for the future. Biggest things for me at the moment is my suspension is completely farked in the back, front not too bad but could be better so that's my main, then I got a small leak in the turbo manifold I have to reseal, the turbo drain has a small leak and VCT rewiring and new boost controller. That's what they've told me anyway.

if you are who I think - why haven't you popped up sooner..

Have been very busy the last 2 weeks with work..... Lookin forward 2 meetin some of u's over the next few weeks!!!!! Sorry i didn't go last nite i fell asleep:(

Any plans for the weekend???

just a quick question.

What oil you guys and gals pour into your babies?? Ive been very happy with MOTUL turbolight....but getting increasingly annoying to find. Ralf has some penrite jazz in his.....ive never been happy with a penrite oil. :sick:

Royal purple or penrite sin, turbo light is shit, every time I have used it I have had inconsistent oil pressure after about 2000kms

ive always had nice consistent oil pressure with turbolight, Mumslayer has penrite in his car atm...and his oil pressure seems very low.

i love the idea of royal purple. but dunno if i can justify the 100 bucks a bottle :(

The Turbolight isn't a fully synthetic oil, it's a synthetic/mineral blend

If you're going to use Motul, go for the 8100 excess or Chrono V

I use Royal Purple

im not worried about fully syn and not. the cars were made and factory run on basics, so i think the 59 bucks for the turbolight will do. (which i did fine btw...locally and easily)

that sounds like an interesting oil you running there smity. hows the oil pressure? im still vary wary of penrite.

Dan [ERD] has posted this previously, and it's not the be all and end all of oil tests but it gives you a good guide:

    • 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
