Damn - hate it when im right !!! :(

 

ill still be there though...

soo!! did you actually make it?! :)

Thanks to everyone that turned up!!! I actually didn't think so many of you would! Hehe...was fully expecting to go it alone!! Glad i didn't have to though :)

I'm happy to say we had no bad encounters with cops! in fact...we had no encounters at all! no incidents nothing!! The road was a lil wet....and it was definitely a slippery drive, but apart from that it was a nice clean cruise! :)

Whens the next one!!! :P:D :D

great cruise guys, that was great fun... :(

Hey Ash,

You didn't make it right to Terrigal did you?

I didn't see you there?

You don't know me, but i know of you thru Backup(Dale)

I think i counted 10 Skylines at Terrigal :)

Niiiiicccceeeee

soo!!  did you actually make it?! :(

 

 

Course i did !!

although, got %$^$ called for work by the time we all arived at Kariong, so i had to scoot.... :cuss:

the drive was good - a LOT longer than i thought, but i learnt something about my car....how deep in the red it can go petrol wise ! (didnt see a petrol warning light though..)

Great to meet up with the Central Coast contingent, and put some faces to names... :) Hopefully will catch up again next weekend...

just gotta remember -

1) more petrol next time

2) 265/35/18's and wet roads dont go, regardless of how the car handles !! :P

you guys took your sweet time gettin' up there

I missed the 9pm meeting point by 10 mins and had to hang out at work on the net for 30 mins. (washed my car and missed you guys)

I then went up to macca's and met up with ronin and some others, it was good to meet some people from here though.

so when's the next one? make it a month away or something

cheers

Thanks for the cruise,  I had a ball on those slippery roads !   It sure beat sitting at home on the net and watching TV   :-)

When is the next one !!!

Hehehe....i told you!!! next time bring the mazda out!!! :D I think james and martin regretted being in my car the first time you disappeared!!

and man do i have alot to learn about windy roads!!! what a struggle to keep up! and you and the s15 weren't even trying!!!! :

Hey gizmo! you should do what i do when on call! drag your laptop everyone and just log on remotely!! :):(:P

Next cruise!? a month away is probably good! whose going to organising it?!?! :D

Bah thats not right.... i'm on 265/35's and i actually almost caught up with mona (which is a feat even in the dry) after she got a 10 min head start from wisemans :)

But that said i almost sh*t myself on a few corners and bridges.

Kudos on the cruise mona, how could you think even for a second that we'd make u go it alone. I miss your exhaust tho.

Oh and Dave, you drive like my grandma.... and she's dead :(

Simon, was that you that I caught upto near the end of that road with the intersection to Gosford/Singleton/Sydney and we didn't know where to go? I was in the Midnight Purple R33 GTR...

If so, you have to also factor in the 2-3 minutes we spent stationary at that intersection trying to figure it out and calling people too :)

YAY!! i'm glad you guys turned up! :D i wasn't sure cause i didn't see any other posts apart from your first ones... :D

and i miss my exhaust too :) :) :( :( its too quiet now! but i'd better get used to it!

Hey Andrew! Sorry! I was figuring it out as i went!!! next time i'll remember to say its pretty much straight all the way to the last intersection with the lights! :)

    • 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
