Hey guys

More details to follow but i'm trying to organise a cruise for the 26th June

Meeting place is going to be Kmart car park (nearer to autobarn tho)

Destination: Sideling (why not, they have also redone some corners for targa too)

Anything is welcome - boostcruising members will also be coming so hopefully we get a decent amount of ppl showing up (do not attend if this bothers you)

so who wants to come?

someone on boost brought up that the sideling gets no sun in winter and they had a cruise through there in winter before and some ppl struggled staying on the road

so we might try and avoid that

looking like just cruising up the west tamar, over the batman bridge, chill there for a bit and come down the east tamar

also going to have a mini-meet soon to discuss the route further, probably this weekend in town somewhere

if everyone drives sensibly and obeys the road rules, there wont be any drama on the sideling, if people insist on driving like hero's then there will be issues wherever the cruise is held.

and considering what happened recently in nsw after an sau cruise, i think it would be appropriate to keep it tame.

sav man i agree about the cradle route, lots of good driving up there aswell, might be too far for some though..

thanks for the input guys

if we try and have a small meet soon i'll bring a map and we can discuss where to go, where has nice roads, where isn't too far and all those things

if we go up and around the tamar (to the batman) its got a couple of corners but its just nice cruising around there

I agree with savman and bxaftw,don;t let a bit of rain or wet roads wreck a cruise.[every one should drive to conditions]

I drive up and down the east and west tamar every week [what a boring drive] :D

He what about frankford road to westbury turn off then to osmaston,golden vally,mole creek,king solomons mines,paradise back to sheffield and the back road to e/town and back to launny any way u like. :)

Or somthing simmilar.

    • 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
