Hi Guys,

Not sure if anyone is interested, but I'm just helping a friend out with his promotion. And with Skyline been a theft magnet, I though I will let you guys know.

Due to a huge weekend of Grand Prix and the Motorshow, a friend of mine is doing a promotion at Burwood Kmart to etch cars with their rego or vin no.

Basically what happens is you car get etched with your rego number on different parts of the car as an identify mark, similar to the chassis and the engine block.

The parts they will etch will be the parts that are most likely to be sold if your car is stolen.

The marking system leaves a small imprint of your rego or vin no on any hard surfaces to make it identifiable so the cops and insurance company can trace it.

Usually it cost $80 to get your car marked in 20 places, but because of the promotion he is offering it at $40.00.

However if you guys are interested, I will try to knock him down to $30 for the SAU. :sly:

Just want to get some feedback and to see if anyone is interested. Let me know and I will try to organise the cheaper deal.

For more information please visit www.thiefbusters.com and in Automotive Security.

Loc: Burwood Kmart (corner of Burwood Hwy and Blackburn Rd)

Time: 10.00 am till 4.00 pm

Cheers :(

Sorry guys it is neither.

It is actually a technology call Sanprint where they use sand to inprint the stencil of your vin no. I not sure how excately the gun work, but it leaves a clear print and does not damage other parts of the car.

My friend also mention that he can etch corporate logos on, but that cost a bit as the stencil need to be made up. What do you reckon about a SAU logo once we have a new one setup?!?! hehe :)

    • 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
