Hi guys,,

finally the forum is back online again. I noticed lots of thread is missing, so I have to create this new one.

Based on previous votes quite a few voted for 2nd week of December to have a skidpan training before Christmas. Last skidpan in November was pretty good, we may have 20th December for free will confirm.

For the meantime Saturday 20-Dec-2003:

1. Rianto (myself)

2. Sam (Hypnotik) - deposit received

3. Simon (SKYL9) - deposit received

4. Kelvin Ho - deposit received

5. Chris (Scotsman) - deposit received

6. Darren - deposit received

Who's in? For those who didn't know yet, cost is $120pp, in which $50 deposit is required at front.

Cheers,

Rianto

what about the following Saturday, the 20th December?

I was told 13 & 14 Dec was both taken already.

Hypnotik, you don't need burnout tyres. Tyre wear are down to minimal with oil & water on the skidpan. I use my everyday tyres and has been there 2-3 times no visible tyre wear.

Ok, I guess I will come. Any spots available on the 20th?

Last time I went to the skidpan they literally had no tread on them at the end of the day, although they had very little at the start of the day.

Hypnotik, I'll put your name in. Yeah I see if u got no tread left, you'll need at least a pair of rear ones. But isn't no tread on the rear means slide better = more fun?

Rob, If I book the 20th Dec deposit is usually required by end of next week (approximately 2 weeks before the date). Are you in? Hope your car be ready in 3 weeks time ;)

i have a spare set of 32 rims... u got 4 or 5 studs on ur sil? cause if u have 5 then u can borrow my rims... just get the tyres taken off and get some second hand crappers stuck on.

Hmm.. I think S13 Silvia is 4 stud. Only from S14 onwards it has 5 stud, S14 even has the same factory rim as R33. But correct me if I'm wrong.

Hypnotik, do u need tyres as well? Talk to R32Skyline (Cam) as he told me he got very cheap 2nd hand tyres...

My Silvia has 4 stud wheels.

My tyres on the back are fairly new, so I might just get some old tyres and swap them over for a few days.

Thanks for the offers guys, but I live in Geelong so it will probably make it a bit difficult. :cheers:

actually res because of the whole xmas thing... u wanna make it after xmas or was that no good?

inark,

I know its goin to be xmas and ppl could be away for holiday, need the $ to buy presents for loved ones, etc, etc. But 20th is the last chance before xmas for ppl who can still make it. if not then we might have to wait till end of jan or sometime in feb. I was told the skidpan will usually be very much occupied in January.

    • 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
