Great day!! The drive down was better then I expected, I was thinking with that many people that it was going to be a crawling pace down to the coast.We ended up going home (launceston) via derby and Scottsdale, had fish and chips at St Helens, perfect day for a cruise!!!

Well I don't think we could have asked for a better day for a cruise, amazing weather, amazing people and I got to be on TV! haha.

Today we collected a Total of $2230.50! Woot!

Thanks for all the donations guys! Will be handing it to rotary on Thursday!

hey man, PM details on how to make an 'after event' donation

Yesterday started out pretty stressfully, had my car in getting one of the wheels re-rolled since Tuesday and had checked on it the 3 days prior to the cruise, being told it would be ready the next day each time. Turned up on Saturday and it had probably been completed but left in the workshop, so ended up running around franticly to get a set of wheels from home and turning up late with near zero grip tyres on 300zx wheels on the front of my car and sticky new tyres on the back :P (only the smaller front wheels could pass as possibly being legal, otherwise I would have opted for less rear grip).

After that start I still had an epic day, beautiful weather and some awesome cars. Was surprised to only really be slowed down too much by a single tourist campervan that refused to pull over on the twisties, other than that it was clean sailing. Saw an old corona had been pulled by the cops, but everyone seemed to pretty much behave themselves (even had people just cruising with a few p platers at 80 for a while on the way back down the coast road to Hobart). I was able to stalkishly put a few faces to names from the cars people were driving too which was nice, though I've forgotten already...

What happened to the guy on the bike? I didn't hear anything about it?

Tarrant Hayes, the guy who had the bike accident, is safe in hospital and had some ops last night . Luckily, he has only come out of the crash with a broken femur. If anyone has any of his things, could you send him a message on Facebook. We wish him all the best for a quick recovery!

    • 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
