Had afternoon tea with the 48-215FxFj holden car club at my olds today after their victor run. One of the members is into racing, 'had' a ford focus with over 100k put into it. Massive crash in the Adelaide rally car was smashed into bits, lucky to have come out unscathed. One driver blew his 500k Lamborghini engine a couple weeks ago, rebuilt it then it blew a week later, 100k down the drain. Same week bought a new 500k lambo & stacked that one. Wow, who ever said racing was cheap? Bloke with the written off focus wrote his other race car off a few weeks earlier in the Hills.... One of the Porsche drivers was jumping over a crest at 200 & a r32 flew past him (in the air) at over 250! Insane overtaking from a 'kid driver, apparently.

One year I'm definitely going to do the mt.alma climb & classic Adelaide rally.

Also, one driver borrowed a r32 gtr which proceeded to catch fire at the end of a stage, would hate to be him! Not sure on all the exact details but sounded like a pretty full on event...

Think may have to ring the Pa, he was asking me the other day if it's wise to lend his Targa R32 GTR to someone for the Classic Adelaide..... better check to make sure he took my advice of 'what the hell you on?!?!!'. Then again he did seem upbeat tonight at dinner.....

i went up and watched them go past when they was at the Tanunda stage we where at the last checkpoint on the timed advent fark some of the where flying past even the baby babino fiat was hauling ass lol.

some of those cars sounded like music as they went past on full song

That was Tony Quinn and he borrowed the Just Jap R32 GTR Tarmac Car and was running second outright when a turbo let go and caused an engine fire. He was about a km from the end of the final stage when it happened and as a result a DNF. Then when it was on the back of the truck it caught fire again as it was being trucked back to the service park so know bonnet, electrical and other unknown are a bit stuffed. I guess it is now between Tony and Just Jap to come to an arrangment to have the car fixed up. My Brother in law was the navigator in this car.

So many of those girls are utterly fantastic...

:unsure:

Mod list is pretty sweet.

Wheels are f**k ugly.

Headlights are f**k ugly.

Colour doesn't even look good on the Lambos it was pinched from, and is therefore f**k ugly.

Wide guards make f**k ugly look good.

Looks awesome Josh! Who did it for you and how much?

His name is Hamish. i can forward his details if you want more info.

For what i had done which was 'stage 3', Paint Correction and sealant was $240. awesome value for money for the time and effort that was spent. couldn't recommend highly enough

    • 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
