A advertised night cruise through Nasho for a blend of modified cars at Christmas is asking for attention, thanks for the heads up, Ill keep well away from there.

Looks good!!:banana: madd way to end the year...

:laugh::rofl2: lolspec!! i checked that thread, no one sems to be goin from there and plus i heard they're doing their own shit cruise in the rain on sunday anyway

:unsure: WTF.... its a cruise, nice night out to Wollongong & a chance to see some nice cars... chilllax people!!!:spank: :spank:

Anyways, i hope to see afew people from SAU out if you can make it after the other Trackday @ Wakefield which looks awesome, spewing im working otherwise i'd be there for that too :action-smiley-069:

Did anyone go to this??

Heard it was a pretty big turn out

I actually went, took my old car, which I had to borrow off my mate :merli:

I usually don't go to these cruises, but I was bored so I gave it a go... Surprisingly, against everyone's belief and expectations every IMPORT driver was well behaved, no speeding or burnouts.

The only stupid burnout or engine revving I saw came from either Holden or Ford owners and them trying to drag everyone.. pfft.

i'm not sure about that, the R33 was doing quite a bit of revving and burnouts out of the car park, then at the right turn at the lights, I could hear it go nuts the whole way down, other than that, didn't see too much silly things, at the car park anyways.

    • 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
