Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

We have been pretty happy with the outlander thus far. No off roading yet tho.

Awaits 400 photos of the bogged outlander... Had an uncle try to take his on Fraser that was an interesting day lmao

Small "4wd's" are not for 4wding, most are incapable and just to Danm low

Unless you Usualy have lots of experiance with 4wding you can run into troubles

But I will say. Suzuki's they go hard off road

Anyways I have talked to ants about purchasing some parts and I have found a new direction for my car with the power side of things

This means forged bottom end :D

Interesting definition of 'real 4x4' you have :P

Low range, traction control, ladder frame chassis and same clearance as your navara. And at least it won't get stuck spinning diagonally opposite wheels in the air like yours will :P Edited by Bunta

Oh and stock it is on the low side, but nothing a cheap lift cant fix, and we are not into 'off road' where you go out and find places to get stuck and break shit, we just want a car that can do the fire trails ect.

I like where this is going :)

Morning folks.... Well events yesterday afternoon/night werent what I expected. Got a call from a mate at midday asking if I want to accompany him down to Matty @ Pits to get his car on the dyno just to check the replacement cam he got in is fine. I thought hell why not I finish work at 1:30pm it will be a good drive.

Got there at 3pm and and we got the car onto the dyno..

Matty played around with it for a while and fixed up a few things here and there. It came to about 6pm and was doing a few final power runs...

Knock Knock.......... who's there? Spun a bearing in the last 10 mins on dyno...

After many profanities were used Matty ended up dropping us at the train station and we got the train back to Sandgate then got a lift home....

Got home at about 10:30pm and then up again to start work at 5:30am...

Tired Scott is tired..

You went all the way down to see Matty Spry and didn't swing pass to say hi????

I also went to bed late paying for it now :/

Sorry to hear about your mates car Scottie.

What power did it make before she gave way?

    • 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
