clearly martin th old chum here is trying to impress u lol , so was the drunk idiot the other night :P

Its called being friendly Walker, just because you find my car so impressive doesn't mean im trying to impress everyone when i mention it thank you :P

Lol

f**k man, i had my eleven year old brother in the car, if i was by myself i might have gone faster, ive been through the hills many times as i also live there, ive also seen what happens when you overestimate your abilites as ive also been in a crash up there.

I was leaving a gap between me and the car in front for a reason, maybe something you should learn to do. Your on your green p's like me, regardless of whether you live in the hills or not you shouldnt be taking that risk, especially when its a cruise because you would be putting other people at risk if you f**ked up and seeing what happened with that r32, its not fair if someone else has to pay the price for your actions.

Keen for higher speeds? then go through in your own time or organise a cruise with people that want to do a high speed hills run, it was a cruise, not a race.

If you wanna go through at those speeds then fine but i sure as hell wasnt gonna do it in a stock suspension auto r33 with my little brother in the car.

Cruises should be about people driving sensibly and to their ability, i shouldnt have felt pressured to drive faster then 80kmh through a dangerous stretch of roads because some idiot was tailgating me because he wanted to check out another car, which are what meet points are for anyway.

Cheers

Well maybe you're just a bit cautious then? Maybe, since you were so observant that night, you would've noticed I had pretty much the rest of the cruise a lot closer up my backside than I ever got to you?

Driving slowly on a cruise is fine, there is literally no problem with that. But have the respect for other people to do it so that you're not holding everybody up and turning it into two cruises. Once I'd decided it was out of the question to overtake you on a straight section then I pulled a long way back anyway? Just because you're rolling on old OEM equipment it doesn't mean everybody else is. I've got Tien coilovers, bigger brakes and really grippy Pirelli tires, without a doubt if you'd locked up I'd have stopped a long way clear of you anyway.

PS: In no way would anybody end up having to pay for my mistakes in the way that the dude in the 32 did, since I've got enough consideration that I wouldn't put my car on the road without it being fully insured. And a lot more people were complaining about being stuck behind you than just me.

Mate, everyone including Ash was already doing well over the speed limit, so sit down, don't come in here and complain that somebody obeying road rules is stopping you from being the next drift king in your 33 with Teins (note correct spelling?) and bald tyres.

Beyond that, after soo many pussies complained about big angry Kangaroo''s could threaten their pride and joy....I expected people to be driving slower, especially at that time of night.

Yet people still sat up around the ninety cents to a dollar mark.

What f*ckhead of a kangaroo in its right mind would jump out in front of 40 cars?!? "Oh hey mate, check that shit out. Lots of big shiny things. GOnna jump DIRECTLY into its path and see what happens. *jump* f*ck... shouldn't have done this. um... what do i do what do i do what do i do.... *juuuu-BANG**

because that happened all over the place.

LOL if the next one turns out the same crowd I'm probably not looking forward to it.

Drifting, slow speeds like 80kmph, staying on track...its all soo boring to me :)

well make up a cruise and like mention that its not for the slow asses or sum shit lol

Maybe not a great idea bragging about breaking the speed limit on cruises...never know who is going to read it.

Next cruise there may be a cop with a hairdryer waiting. :)

...just sayin'

Funny you say that, kind of organizing a cruise with a mate...:)

Not a good idea for these guys to come on here saying they've drifted the Zig Zag either, but they still do.

There are forums that WAPOL read alot more than once a day, SAU included...everything we say, especially in events sections, has been read by a cop. Fact.

As i said before, i was very proud of the behavior the people from this forum (and probably other forums, i just dunno which), nobody here was involved in any stupid shit. Tim has apologized, I don't see why this should be an ongoing argument.

There was nobody from this forum on our cruise that behaved badly at all, the only dangerous driving we saw all night was courtesy of our 'antilag tag-alongs'.

I agree with Nic and Joe, the last thing i would wanna see happen is one of our cruises turn into an antilag cruise, where 4 cars got yellowed before they even reached the meet point.

I before E except after c?

Widely known fact: ALL known master drifters use s13's =D

I mean, I've already apologised, and PM'd her to to say I'll bake cookies to make up for it. And then she goes 'n' has a rant at me? What's a man gotta do y'know?

PS: Thanks Martin

EDIT: Also, I don't know if the dude in the 31 I pulled up next to on GEH actually heard what I was trying to shout, just wanted to make sure you weren't in trouble man, wasn't suspiciously following you or anything...

That antilag cruise that went past us on Mundaring Weir was actually a race, where the person who got there first won a $1000 set of tyres. I believe that type of event promotes dangerous driving, which is obviously going to attract cop attention.

Where did you hear of this?

Antilag have had some bad image in the past, but they don't full on street race each other, and I'm sure that business owner giving away the tyres wasnt putting a race on. Please check and confirm this before you post it. Like I said, WAPolice are reading all of this...and what you said will batter Antilag, and the guy giving away the tyres.

Sorry man, but I call bullshit until I see something solid to back that up.

That is what the guys from Antilag told me and my mates when we were talking to them at the messed up meet point in Glen Forrest. They were saying how their cruise was a race and the first car to arrive won a $1000 set of tyres.

However you are right, and ill take back what i said, i really have no idea if it was a race and i shouldn't bad mouth other clubs. Those guys were the guys driving dangerously in the later stages of our cruise, so it is highly possible that they treated the cruise as a race, even though it wasn't set up like that. I am not an Antilag member, so i can not say how their cruises are designed and set up.

Agreed, antilag are crazy fools but they're not stupid. not all of them. i very much doubt the guy with the tyres would sully his business/sponsor with something as controversial as a street race. i raise your call of bullshit with retarded bullshit.

tim, stfu. it's Tein. and for the record - all people that use the term 'drift masters' are either american, japanese, or idiots.

The smart ones use Meister. That's master in german. You see what I did there? Did you?

Yeah, my point was more so this guy has a business and he gave those tyres away from the business, not personally...so its highly unlikely HE called a race for them...cops would shut him down instantly if he did that. Maybe the Antilag guys organised a race on their own par, as to who gets the tyres, but no way would that dude endorse street racing.

They werent even going fast on the Zig Zag anyway...some where going slower than us...I did see them take off pretty quick from the first meet point, and I could see/hear them being silly a few other times, but thats ... normal Antilag ??

Yeh as i said i really have no idea how their cruise was set up, i was just going off what the guys from antilag told me and my mates. I have edited that out of my post.

As for how they were driving, i think enough has been said previously in the thread.

    • 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.
