hey mate, were you the guy pushing that broken 323 around in bundal the other day?

Yeah that was me.

Yeah it died haha,

Have you finished your degree?

I just finished my last exams, hopefully if it all went well then I'll finally be graduating!

If I get the Goldy meet going again and you're still going to the southside meet then we should organise a meet halfway next year or something similar?

Hopefully CJ will have his 32 up and running again by then!

Finished for the year but still have 3 semesters left :P We should definitely organise something in the future. I'm skint atm though.

mines up and running.... kinda... not happy. but im dealing with schoolies at the moment so car's can take a backseat.

Fun times man ;)

Ouch, that will all be done next year I'm guessing?

I have my graduation next week, I get to wear the gown and hat thing.... wonder if they will let us throw it up in the air like in the movies?

Anyway for those who might still be keen for a meet up, we prob won't have one till the start of next year, but let me know anyway if you're keen!

doin a run from southport down to palmy then back thru broady surfers southport

whos keen?:rofl:

Sorry bro I didn't see this, I was out last night in broady, my car would have been parked near the surf club.

But I was at a family dinner...

so is this meet dead?

should meet on a sat night and go for a cruise

just sayin

It's dead at the moment coz everything got so busy towards the end of the year and still is,

We'll get a crew together start of the new year, although I'll probably only be able to meet up every couple of weeks, maybe a fortnightly meet?

You got any ideas for places to meet up?

I was thinking maybe the car park next to varsity tavern/fitness first,

It's nice and big, no one there, and it has pizza hut or the tavern :)

yeah i lose my license for 6months very shortly so i will not be driving my car

keen to get out for a cruise again tonight thou

last night i went down past that old school muscle meet in southport

got there abit late and most were leaving

so i ended up cruising for a bit with em (trying to show me there big engines power vs turbo pfffft we know what happens there CUL8R)

which was cool and then went home

i always see heaps of nice skylines on the coast but never any cruises on?

shame it will probly all pick up when i got no bloody license :rant:

let me know if your out tonight should have a weekly/fortnightly skyline/rb engine meet and cruise

Yeah i have been very busy during week nights with work and what not.

Need to have a look at whos busy on what night and pick a night most are free. If we are going to do a sat meet - stay away from the "popular" spots , don't need constable proctoligist to pay us a visit.

  • 2 weeks later...

I think to start with a once a month meet would be alright, I can't make it every week if it's weekly, even fortnightly could be good?

I might be going out next week if you're keen coz this Luke guy is losing his license on the 6th so he's pretty keen to have a last cruise before losing it.

Maybe Tues night or Wednesday night?

Edited by Jay11

i would be half keen to meet up, my car is in peices as of today but should be fixed in a few days.. would be good to have a reg meet up, could possibly make it every fortnight, maybe 2 our of 3 haha. Varsity Lakes idea seems the best but i could be bias as im coming from over the border.

Michael

    • 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
    • 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.
