Looks like most people will be going the Murray Bridge route...

Shall us northies go there too? Will take us the same time according to google maps...

(for everyone except Dion who could possibly meet us somewhere on the way?)

-D

yeah do it!!

You guys were leaving just before us anyway so it'd give you time to meet up somewhere :)

plus it'd be good to cruise up with my temporary housewife/bedroom partner :ninja:

look cool it romeo, i dont want to have to hose you down like a randy pit bull...

I've decided I'll be going the Murray Bridge route, and I know where nightcrawler lives so if he doesnt come that route too I'll tp his garden

-D

OK, just spoke to Shane and this is what we're doing.

Everyone meet at the BP at Crafers (Freeway, turn off to Picadilly) at 2pm then continue onto Freeway and by-pass MB before going left after the Bridge to the Karoonda Road.

Krishy, we'll meet you on the Karoonda Road at approx 3pm....will liaise by phone.

Hmmm, meet people at Crafers, or meet Krishy at Murray Bridge and then join everyone else. If i meet at Crafers, can i borrow a 2way Radio?

No, the Gawler vs. Murray Bridge route does not meet anywhere (literally). I dont know what I'll do yet.

In other news, I now have coilovers in and it looks and handles awesome. However, my front bar umm.... errrrgggh. Suffered 2 counts (Luke, youll never guess what happened on the way home tonight) of blunt force trauma, so its looking a little second hand now :D

sounds like the both of us are suffering premature lip syndrome

mines going in again tomorrow for touch up

*sigh*

gonna have to learn to slow the f**k down and tackle even minute humps with diagonal attack....

ok I agree it would be more fun to catch up with Sled and Shane and do the Freeway thing. I think Crafers at 2pm sounds fine - we should do Crafers to Loxton in a bit over 3 hours incl. a little stop to get Krishy.

But I would have though to take the freeway all the way to Tailem Before we turn off to Karoonda, so maybe Krishy could meet us in MB.

I have a 1W walkie and can get my hands on another one for someone to borrow.

yeah, although neither of the things had anything to do with my car being low, just unlucky.... really unlucky.

I was driving on South Road tonight and a 4wd was in front of me, well there was rubbish on the road which the 4wd drove straight over so I didnt see it until the last second, I had no such luck...... I had to pull over and pull shit out from under my car plus there is still rubbish caught in the now bent mesh of my front bar along with 3 cracks (FRP) and scratches.

some of my happiest moments happened at that playground

first smoked weed when i was 15 in one of the trees there

found many a porno in the toilets over the years

some good ones too

this time they built a bbq. perhaps that might be a good meet for sausa, since the carpark is often empty and has a large capacity

what do u think uleh ?

There may be a spare hotel room available on Saturday night. It has a double bed, and is $80 per night. Krishy is staying in it for Friday night, but cant stay the Saturday night as of a soccer tournament on the Sunday.

Luke & Dan are sleeping on the foldouts in my room, i shall ring up and book that with the hotel tomorrow.

    • 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.
