Hey guys...its been a while. Hope everyones well.

My mate from the gti club sent this, dunno if you guys know about it or want to

go:

"There is going to be a cruize on the 25th April. ANZAC DAY.

the cruize is called SUPERCRUIZE 9 and all the proceeds benefit the

CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL WESTMEAD.

you need to buy a sticker and put it on your car and well basically that

will prevent you becoming booked by cops on the way down and back. people

without the sticker got booked last year.

The meeting place is a carpark on Roselands Dr (just off King Georges Rd)

Roselands. and the destination is to Fairy Meadow (Elliots Rd) Wollongong.

the meeting time is 10:30 AM SHARP.

BBQ and drinks available at Fairy Meadow."

Just what I was gonna say, the sticker does not give immunity to defects AT ALL

Anyone went down there on Australia Day? The po po had a field day pulling over MOST 'hotted up' cars and defecting for anything.

I for one know that I'll be going in my parents STOCK BMW :D cant risk a Defect a week before Autosalon :D

Hey Carlo baby, lookin good as usual!

I might go but not go all the way so to speak as to get defected, but ill go and hang out with some gti owners and maybe some skyline doods. Good point about the cops and such man. I shall be on more events in the near future.

im goin down, will be with about 7 cars

they are setting up EPA testing station to keep people away from the main part of the city

cops are patroling the cruise as long as you dont do anyhting stupid they wont defect you this comming from the HWP who are going to be there

the cruise happens ever year its the 9th time and as mentioned before its raising money for the childrens hospital so i think you guys can relax with the defect issue as long as you dont do anything supid and stay out of the centre of the city you will be fine

it was a great day guys.

I was in my 31. Not a bad turnout of skylines thoug.

The traffic was moving 10km/h in a 110km/h zone. There must have been at least 2000 cars involved in the supercruise. I left at about 4pm because my car was getting to hot in the gridlock going towords WIN Stadium.

I cant wait until next year

I went down in the arvo by myself for a few hours. Parked in a back street then walked around to grab some lunch. Noticed 2 Lambo Gallardo's parked on the main cruise road so I just sat and wet my pants over them for about 2hrs whilst watching other cars cruise past.

The cops blocked off the light house part so that was pretty stupid ... bloody cops... they ruin all the harmless fun these days.

    • 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
