Ok, well, without sounding like we're intruding on Cam, cam, how about next weekend? 24/25th? I know it's Australia day weekend, or perhaps we'll just leave it until 31st Jan/1 Feb to do it?

That way, most of the guys can do it.

We've got 7 or 8 guys so far, and it'd be nice to get it all done at once I guess :P

Ok, enough piss farting around.

We're doing it on 31 January.

We'll meet at Car Quest around 10:30/11:00, get the gauges (and do a bit of window shopping obviously) and then head to Garage Malaga (Cam's place) for a 12:00/12:30 start.

For those that want to, I can PM you with my Bank details so you can Direct Deposit the money to me, and I can pick them up in one go, or, you can actually pay for them yourself at the store on the day (paying yourself on the day would be preferred).

So far this is the list:

Me

Caminperth

Zanda

fane

25GTT

Strich9ine (?)

Nexus_Six

Dan_the_man

Any questions, let me know.

Jason.

my 21st birthday partay is on the 31st so without pissing everyone off by not helping set shit up i cant do it the 31st :)

i will send money to you jason please tho if you could pic me one up that would be greatly appreciated... then maybe i'll get some hints off you once you guys have all done it :) oh well shit happens :P

fane, not a problem. I will PM you my bank details sometime tonight and you can just deposit it straight through.

Now I'm East Perth, is that going to be a problem for you to collect the gauges?

Jase.

fane, I'll pm you my bank account details tomorrow and you can transfer it when you're ready :mad:

Sorry I haven't sent you the details earlier.

And for those that are interested but haven't given a definate, please let me know no later than Monday 26th January so the guy can make sure he has enough for us all.

Jason.

just a reminder .. this is this saturday (31st Jan)

fane, you WILL get my bank details tonight :D also, I can give you the dials on Sunday at the York cruise, if you're going.

hopefully all of you who said you're in, are in, if not, drop me a PM and we'll sort something out.

Jason.

Ok, there is a problem.

Carquest DO NOT have enough gauges for us. Apparently, someone who was getting the gauges as part of the group buy went in a couple of weeks ago and was told by the guy @ Carquest to tell me that he wouldn't have enough (Personally, I find that a bit hard to believe).

I have rang around yesterday and today and have found that Evolution R can do the gauges for us, still at $135 (plus $10 for installing if anyone wants them to do it), but will need to order them from Thailand (No Riaz, we will NOT get them to ship over a small boy for you).

The order will take 7 to 10 days to get here, so if they are sent Friday 30th January, expect them to arrive during the week of the 9th of February.

If you want the gauges, I am going to have to ask for either:

1. a $30 deposit

2. full payment of $135 per set

Personally, I don't want to be responsible for your money, and would prefer the $30 deposit, but if you really want, you can direct deposit the entire $135 in to my account.

Could I PLEASE have definate confirmations as to who wants them by NO LATER than tomorrow night so I can place the order with Evolution R.

Also, as Cam may not have access to the warehouse at that stage, I think it would be a good idea if we got Evolution R to show us how to do it on one car, and then do the rest there. They have already advised me that they are happy to do this for us and it should only take 30 minutes max to do each car (so if we watch them, then each of us do our own cars, we won't be there that long).

I suggest we do it on Saturday 14th, then that way we are guaranteed the gauges will be there.

Now, I hope this rant wasn't too long, but please call me on 0412 527 661 to CONFIRM that you want gauges and to arrange to give me the deposit/full amount.

Jason.

its okay Jason, the last boy your brought back is still going strong. I feed him at least twice a day :P

now here is an interesting idea. Does anyone want to stick like these APEXi stickers or HKS stickers onto the gauge faces as well. The way I c it, we can organise through memphis to get a sheet or tiny apexi or trust or greddy or hks etc sticker made, so that we stick them to the gauge before install, so once it is in the cluster it will look like an apexi gauge for example.

and no one will ever know

seriously it should be hella cheap through russell and i am sure he will do a smicko job,

then we peel and stick and walla. hardcore jap stylee

let me know so I can beg him asap

thanks

RiaZ

Definately in for 2 sets...i will have the deposit as i am available @ this time so i dont need you to get them for me jason :D

i can come fore the group install also :P

So put me down for 2. thanks.

PS. Riaz, get us a price and im in... :D im keen for hks, nismo, apexi, greddy, trust or blitz any of them are fine.

That's better.

I can be in for the mid-feb install now! (almost had to send you a PM about it Jason to say I had to cancel!)

I should have the coin by 9th Feb!

And Russell should do my sticker for free! (Are you alive Russ?) I still want my "Only cheap wine comes in 5 litres" sticker! (will trade for coin!)

So you need $30 deposit aight... PM me your bank details and I can transfer it tonight Jason! :P

THAT DATE WORKS OUT SWEEET! AS I HAD TO WORK THIS WEEKEND!! OK so $30 deposit needed this weekend? i can have all the money for ya if you like Jas whatever is easy for ya, might also have boost gauge then aswell therefore get dials and boost gauge at the same time YEAH!! As a worse case I will give evolution R the $10 so everyone can watch.. it's all good!

$10 for the stickers from russell

but that is for like a sheet

so who wants to put in $5 each or something

i am not sure how many will be on a sheet

they also need to be 1cm tall

MY SUGGESTION IS GREDDY as its italic sorta style will look good.

or HKS as russell can only do it in 1 colour. black being the obvious choice.

so APEXi with the red etc wont fly

please PM memphis or email him through his web page etc to order your stickers for the gauges.

PEACE

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
