Hello fellow SAU - V Series members!

Many of you have recently asked when our next meeting is going to happen, so I've decided to organise an unofficial Vxx Series Meet in Adelaide for local SAU members. :happy:

As you may already know, I've blogged my journey of 'Importing a car for the first time from Japan to Australia' (my V35 Skyline 350GT coupe) and now a second time (my recent V36 Skyline 350GT sedan) via www.v35skyline.com and thanks to you - my blog now has over 6100 views since inception in May 2014! This is not only awesome, but very rewarding for me to know that the knowledge and experience I have gained over the past year has (and continues to) benefit SAU members, allowing me to give something back to the community that has been so pleasant and helpful to me over the years.

For those who are interested - and want to put a face to the name (and cars) of other fellow SAU members - Let's meet up! :woot:

Location: Burnside Community Centre

Address: 401 Greenhill Road, Tusmore SA 5065

Date: Sunday, 5th July 2015

Time: 10am until 11am

Let's keep it safe, fun and friendly :cool:

was keen to get a crossover however they were pretty rare in Japan compared to sedans and coupes. which means more money.

You're not kidding. I did get one direct from Japan (to NZ) and it was probably 25% more than an equivalent sedan. That said, I love it to bits. Especially the around view monitor and radar cruise control.

I Absolutly love every piece of that car and I had two test drive from a local dealer. Was asking 28k but not my colour and no premiem package. my wife was really unhappy when I told her that we could not afford a decent quality crossover as we had tight budget. Took me a while to talk her into this sedan. :yucky:

just had a call from my agent and was told the car wont be able to make it to adelaide this week. compliance plate is taking longer than expected. sorry I wont be able to make this meet. hope quite a few ppl can show up. and I will join the next one for sure.

    • 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
