It's actually a Hardly Normal now according to Google street view haha.

It's directly opposite Maccas/The Good Guys.

Clicky for street view and swing the camera 180 degrees to find where Maccas is too.

I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to make it at this stage.

Maybe if anyone knows of nice places to take photos, you could go take some snaps.

I spent a few hours driving around just looking for nice buildings and roads to park the car next to for photos just a few weeks ago. Just throwing out a suggestion :P drinks/games is good too!

Hi Guys, Thanks for the reply. I wouldnt mind doing any of the suggesions thrown up so we can meet up there and then go for it, i suppose this more about getting out and about and meeting some our fellow skyline lovers lol.

Im up for the phtoto thing as well, theres a place called Mount Riddley which is off the hume which isnt built up and at the correct angle you can get a good view of the city with the cars in the background. The road is Mt Riddley road. We can do this as well

Keep the suggestions coming guys

Hey RJ... whats planz after the meet at Maccas on Dalton road...??? got nethin in mind as yet...??? N yea.. i am good wid da shoot as well..

Edited by H00N

Well the options we've got is to go play pool/ drinks which isnt a bad idea since there looks to be a few of us, or we can go Mt Riddley and get the photos and this place has a lot of room so parking isnt going to be an issue.

If we want we could do all of the above and then drive to the airport look out after that and kick back there but thats all i got in mind.

Whats everyone think of that???

Also we meeting at the Myers/ Harvey norman carpark not the maccas

Put me down as a maybe. I should be driving past around 8ish as I finish work quite late - Will join you fellas if you're still there - If not, maybe next time - don't wait up :cheers:

Just on a side note... Isn't Harvey Norman open till 9PM - It is a Friday night????

was that the realy rough road we did on that midnight run :cheers:

Nah man, it is a inner city suburb, with real twisty roads.

It was one of the roads we 'should' have took when doing the midnight run, but I don't think most of us followed the instructions and we all made our own way there.

Not a good idea anymore, the cops are all over Yarra Blvd on a friday / saturday night. I couldn't sleep the other weekend, and decided to go for a drive to the Blvd at about 2am on a sunday morning. Was driving spiritedly, but then I got an uneasy feeling and slowed down to the 50km/h speed limit. A couple of corners later and i was confronted with a cop car on the opposite side of the road. Such a weird feeling, it was almost like I could sense something was a-miss lol.

Luckily I kept driving and once out of sight, I hid in a side road. They did a u-turn but didn't see me and I managed to get the f**k out of there without being hassled.

Haven't been back since. I remember the good old days when we use to go there all the time in our younger days. Sigh.

I know yeah.

I went to go check it out after the midnight run (the next day), it was great.

Went back there the next and a cop car pulled out in front of me.

I pulled way back, followed them for a bit then they sped off and I took the next exit and GTFO!

BTW, my Touge post was a joke.

i should be there for thomo but doubt ill make it by 730.. how long u there for ? and might head home after that anyways big day tomorow depends what u guys go planned..

lemme know how long ur at hardly normal and ill work out if ill come down or not

thx

Most likely will hand out there till about 815 or so and then get going else where depending on what we doing, if its pool/ drinks or go take some pics or sumtin like that.

Sorry guys, long day at work and I just got home.

It'll take me another 10 mins before I leave home and 10 mins to get there haha, I'm pretty sure you will have left for your next destination after an hour of being at the meet spot.

    • 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.
