Hey Keir, you probably won't get a really positive response to that in this section of the forum.

Personally, I don't think its some of your best work, we all get grief at some point driving imports, because of the "guilt by association" reputation they have. This is EXACTLY how it happens. I like a burnout as much as the next guy, but faark, in the street? Youtube? How original. Great piece of footage for Today Tonight's next "Import Driving Hoons" story.

I'll be honest with you, if you did that in my street; I'd tell you to piss off and take it to a track. If I saw you do it again, I'd be giving your rego to the police.

We all have a responsibility to think a little bit about this kind of thing, otherwise, the cars, and the lifestyle we love will be taken away by simpering, sooky, politicians looking for an easy vote. Then you'll be driving a bloody Camry wondering how it all went so wrong.

That said, hope the rebuild goes well, looking forward to seeing some pics of it ON A TRACK!

this was in the back quarter of an industrial area in the middle of the night in a dead end street. he spent 30 minutes trying to find the most out of the way place on location on a return test drive.. my mate couldnt help himself.

daleo - fair call i cant understand where your coming from. - it was reckless..

i actually wasnt driving. :whistling:

was the first night we got it boosting right.. and my mate decided he was keen to see if it could finally boost a burnout.

its actually from weeks ago i wasnt going to post it but thought it was amusing. :)

i shouldve gone with my first hunch and not posted this.. heh

This took on a bit of a life of its own eh?

I'm the first to admit to some monumentally stupid car behaviour in the past, some of the other posts give the impression they've never done a skid.

You won't get any more criticism from me.

Get going on that rebuild.

Cheers, Dale

The fact that this is "in the back quarter of an industrial area in the middle of the night in a dead end street" is no excuse - it's still on the street and as has been said, it's videos and posts like these that bring a bad name to the whole car community, especially Skylines.

    • 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
