Ok let me get out in the first sentence the fact that I’m not trying to be an arsehole here, it’s just a friendly argument. Think of it as sport.

Charly – it’s a quote from a movie which I think is pretty cool. It’s there as a clue to my personality.

Nismo Boy – that’s pretty close to racism mate. If that was an insult, get some better ones. If it was a joke, not really funny but it’s not like anyone around here is going to hold it against you.

Predator – I didn’t intend to judge his whole person, just his comment, so yeah, technically fair call on your part but I think you could have worked that one out. Sorry if I was unclear there.

SmoothLine – “I welcomed her as I would any other new member, in a light hearted fun way...

We are all about having fun here... you wouldnt know that because what we do is of no relevance to you personally...

We have quite a few females in our little family and they all get along just the same as if they were male...”

You still didn’t address the issue.

My point is that you didn’t welcome her as you would any other new member. Do you ask guys to post a photo of themselves? I agree that your tone was light hearted and I am actually sorry that I jumped down your throat like that but I didn’t think a subtle comment would have been noticed.

I’m all for fun but to use an obviously extreme analogy for effect; if in deep south USA a century or two ago a couple of drunk white boys killed a black man or girl they probably thought they were having fun. We know it’s wrong but they didn’t think so. Does that make it alright though?

As for relevance to me; you live in the same country as I do and post on the same forum as I do and I was embarrassed for you even if you weren’t. The fact that Anna wasn’t bothered by it is irrelevant because it’s comments like yours that make girls avoid predominately male domains such as this. I like girls and I’d prefer if there more of them about so that bothers me.

Strutto – we can moderate ourselves here I think. As long as people can hold back from name calling (he he, hypocrite :Oops: ).

Gor33 – you back me up with your comments and then put your money on SmoothLine! Bastard! Whoops, there I go again… I’m hardly scared mate. It’s not like we’re about to start bashing each other, even if we were in the same state. I don’t think either of us is like that.

There was more outrage from other quarters than from SmoothLine which backs up what people have said about him.

Yamutha33 – sounds like you’re with me on this. Just make sure I don’t get too many supporters because I want to claim minority harassment later :) .

Nismo Girl – I think the state forums are fine for this sort of thing. If there were so many threads you couldn’t find anything in them you would probably have to split the state forums into categories with a wasteland in particular.

In conclusion, I’ve just been a condescending and self indulgent wanker by posting all of this. If any one has anything intelligent to say, please do. I think despite all the surrounding crap I do actually have one small but definitely valid point. I was trying to change behaviour, not make enemies and if anyone here has anything abusive, stupid, banal or otherwise crap to say, post it :), make me laugh because I’ve obviously been in far too serious a mood lately. I’m not going to put on my flame proof suit so go sick guys… and girls.

:D

Lemme explain that, I mean it looks like you took something way out of context and then others took what you posted out of context and everyone goes off and there is a huge misunderstanding :D

G'day Anna and welcome to skylines australia. Hope you enjoy your stay. :)

Just curious as to why, to PM you, we'd have to own both a 4 door AND 2 door R34 (with a 'roomy backseat', assuming your wedding day will be spent in the back of 2 door R34? :blah: )

Ben - Should have appealed your suspension so I can kick your arse :kick:

:) j/k

And bob dude.. chill a bit.. seems you are taking things a lil bit too seriously and I thought I was bad in posting long replies.. hehehe :)

Come say hello where?

Good to see another new face has joined the ranks... Come along to one of the meets...

Also, I should let you know that in the aim of matching faces to names etc Im going to have to ask you to post a pic of yourself...

Yes , Maybe Abo Bob was a little harsh on his reply to Smoothline and yes his from Sydney BUT this was Not a nice way for Smoothline to greet someone new no matter who he knows or how long he has been on this site.

So wake up guys, friends or no friends lets make SAU a friendly site and Not a kindergarten....... :slap:

    • 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
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
