Kudos to Jap Import Spares

Picked up genuine tie rod end for S2 Stagea or R34 GTR for $95 each.

Another place wanted $175 second hand!!!

:P

Now I gotta rip the tie rods and brakes out tomorrow and fit the tie rods and R34 GTT brakes ... in time for the Time Attack on sunday.

Just thought I would express my appreciation to my supervisor. He ordered me some new tools without me asking, and delivered them to me on the job site. He also delivered the good news that my new Subaru Forester will be arriving over the next few weeks, along with my new Dell Laptop.

What a champ!

oh, and my tax refund just turned up in my account :D

win!

+ fart assing around with timing etc to ensure the mixtures are right and the timing is where it should be etc.

no once you start mucking around with timing thats a touch up tune and will be charged accordingly

for a AFR check all your doing is making sure @ WOT your AFR's are going high in the 12's to low 13's

will post up a pic late of my AFR run @ Jaustec need to scan it

EDIT

Chad did your clutch plate come today

anyone know the name of those crazy race driver toys that have the little man who makes the engine noise as you change up thru the gears, has a key to turn on, starts out subtle and gets radical as you shift up the little gear lever, its only about 6 inches tall or so ????????

    • 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
