i meant dirty broad minded person,bad afternoon,do tell.

I know you meant dirty slart ;) It's the forum profanity filter.

Long story short, installed an oil cooler, thread out of the filter stud under pressure and promptly emptied 5L of 10 tenths in my engine bay in the middle of the main road on a blind corner. Had to tow the bitch backwards back to the old mans and I managed to fix the plate with a different filter and put some shit oil in for now.

so in other words the SS came all over the road after being f**ked sideways

Hopefully she's recovered and ready for another poun.....round tomorrow morning?

She always gets f**ked, she must have been horny as shie because I barley touched her fun pedal before she squirted everywhere.

I must have a chat with Connie to see if this is true

So i havnt paid via bank deposit, ive been away for work. can i please jsut pay cash tomorrow? i hadnt worred as previosuly ive paid on the day.

Sorry if this is an issue.

Dan

Cash on the day is fine. Would be preferred if you brought the exact change.

Hope to see you out there!

It was good to have such a great turn out and let's hope we can repeat that next time too.

Big thanx to the evo guys as well, it sure works well to have you there as well

Looking forward to more happy laps

hopefully more sau guys turn up next time,not that the evo guys arent good to run with but we need to represent better,no good having a skyline if you dont drive it,i like the attitude of the evo boys,they will turn up no matter what,would like to run with them at one of there events in the future,always goood to see how the otherside operates.i only wish i could get the car out more often,but am trying to do as many events this year as i can,so i hope you guys dont get sick of seeing me everywhere,lol.

yeah good event guys, alot of fun... few minor hiccups, (my immobiliser crapped itself when enterign the track :( haha) and the intercooler hose, but alls well that ends well.

Seriously though, lakeside for next happy laps?? way better then QR imo

thanks for organising the event guys, and thanks to the evos for coming out and having a run, and a special thankyou to Greg for letitng me borrow your tools; i wouldsta been up the proverbial otherwise.

It was my first run on lakeside but i have to say i really enjoyed the run,would be better if we could get to run longer,thats my only complaint,i like how they dont enforce the speed rule tooo much,i was going a little over the speed limit,all ill say is that the standard speedo runs out pretty fast around lakeside.Like to thanks mike and the team for organising another great morning,and all the guys from sau and evo club for turning up,looking forward to the next one.Are there any other tracks around that we can run on or is it just qr and lakeside?

It's pretty much QR and lakeside for happy laps. Morgan Park raceway runs under the CAMS banner and CAMS will never allow happy laps and Norwell driving centre last i heard was having more issues with noise complaints than Lakeside, i'm not even sure if it's still open.

I might even drive next happy laps... Maybe... Will see ?

Zane is more than welcome to jump in my car again :nyaanyaa:

This unfortunately. We are lucky happy laps are still running as all it will take is a few crashed or a serious injury and the insurance will bo too much for QR to justify without dramatically raising the prices.

    • 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.
