please. all that eeepc is gonna see is korean porn, we all know that.

oh yeah, plane only has 1 p in it. :)

After getting my tax return, I am either thinking of saving it for my trip to Japan next year, or to put it towards a 52mm Alloy Radiator and a Oil Cooler and Relocation Kit. What would people suggest I do? If I go with the "Upgrades" I am thinking an ISC 52mm Radiator, but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

but not too sure on a good Oil Cooler & Relocation Kit, don't want to spend much more then $350 on the Oil Kit.

abe, youll spend close to half that on a decent oil cooler core by itself. mine was $180 (discounted cause i bought fittings, lines and blocks at the same time) from memory. and oil cooler kits arent something youd wanna cheap out on anyways.

My tax return is going towards a TIG welder. :domokun:

My oil cooler ended up costing around the $500 but the time i bought all the fittings and hose. The cooler was only $130 and the remote brackets i made on the CNC, so that gives you and indication.

On Flea-Bay, you can get kits for about the $350 mark, how good they are, I am not sure, but I am willing to spend a bit more if I am going to gain something out of it, either being Performance, Reliability, or Quality.

These 2 things are very important, dont skimp just to save a few dollars. Speak to Todd at Outlaw in the city, he will sort you out with a very good quality kit like this one.

well the 90deg joiners are $50 each, hose is $20 a metre, straight joins are $25 each, core i got from justjap for $120ish, then the plates are around $60 each.

i had a cheap one, snapped fittings and was just shit..

so i paid 300 for the cheap one then another 400-500 for the outlaw one..

DO IT RIGHT DO IT ONCE

ive got a couple 90's, a couple 45's, a couple 45 barbs, and a bunch of straight barbs, and i dont recall paying $50 for any of those by themselves.

    • 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
