Am going to go to Mt Buller for a spot of lunch on Saturday 17th Jan. Anyone care to join me?

No particular reason other than getting out and getting some fresh air.

Is a nice drive - but at about 500km round-trip - is a two-tanker (especially for thirsty GTRs). Also worth noting that it is a 'country drive' where road conditions may not be as kind to low bodykits as suburban freeways.

Pending interest, I'll sort out maps, waypoints etc

Also - this is all 'weather permitting' - if it's a crappy day, I'll stay home :D

In case you forget where it is - 3hrs from Melb:

taking the mafia staff car? Or something less conspicuous?

The following weekend is the Porsche Mt Buller Hillclimb http://www.mtbullersprint.com/ and I'm probably going with a mate in his 350 for the 2 days. Might be worth holding off until then.

James,

sorry for the attempted hijack. Just had to make a choice and the Buller Sprint gets it, regardless how much I would love to come along. The social director has passed judgement.

So who's going to be singing....."We're going through Bonnie Doon......" ?

Geoff

I was singing that damm song as I drew the line through 'Bonnie Doon' on the map :(

Ah - how's the serenity?

Porsche day looks really cool - but have other things on that weekend (SAU Drinkies)So will go for the 17th as planned. Less people around too.

Sammi - depends on if Louise changes her mind. She doesn't like windy roads... but wants to come. Will keep you posted as 'wait listed' for co-pilot seat :)

Yeah but with the MtBuller Sprint on the following weekend Im guessing there will be a number of nice cars just getting a feel for the track.

Unfortunately I will be in Cairns so will have to give this one a miss. So I'll sit by the pool with a beer and think about ya instead James!

    • 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
