For all the refugee & good food hating bigots in the house.

Here's a story on some good friends of mine who also happen to make the best phó in town

yay house internet has been dropping in and out all week and today has been choppy at 2mbs. login into the router and says its 5.7mbs...

Its been ok for a few weeks before this, and then will be bad for a day or 5 then be back to normal. been talking to internode on and off throughout the year about it and ive replaced the line filter with a normal cable, and the only other option is to replace the router. I borrowed my dads old ADSL2 modem/router and found out its not compatible with iinet's network :rolleyes:

the fritzbox is a $300 router than ive never had any issues with, other than having to reset it whenever speeds slow down. im not going to replace it just so internode can lodge a complaint to telstra/optus whoever. changing to cable from optus or telstra would double the internet bill and i'd lose my $20 a month mobile SIM.

The least I paid was a bit over a dollar

Now it is exactly on par with unleaded...and if unleaded goes up it does too

Except when unleaded drops it doesn't drop

So much screwage

Drive to phillip island was fked - planned it so my last fillup would be in Cranbourne - pump not in use. Travelled west to Frankston to get it - waste of ~10 litres

I DID have jerry cans lol

By the time I got to PI and drove around on the Saturday I had 3/4 in the first session. After issT two sessions tipped one can in, then at end of the day I put the second one in and made it home with 1/3 a tank left or something.

E85 is bad enough on economy let alone tracking it :(

That's thoroughly retardsd...I would have taken 6 at the most and 98'd it until I got to the track then switch.

The United in San Remo really needs it; it would get more use than most E85 bowsers in the country. Cranbourne being bone dry is evidence of this.

yeah thinking must have been a 2 day track session for 22 jerry's

but still difficult.

I want to convert to E85 next year however also moving to the country so nearest servo 100 km away, going to make life difficult

time to conver to new tow rig with extra tanks

$10k for wheels and tyres?

over $1k to fit a rear diff?

$30k for widebody and re-spray.

wants 40% back on what he paid for mods + value of the car?

i feel sorry for this dude.

not to mention you can get an M3 of the same era and kms for the same or even less money. I wonder which will depreciate more?

Funny shit on the road today.

Some dickbag motorbike rider clearly had some form of beef with a dude in a car.

We were driving down the road and he was sitting on his chopper show bike right up this cars ass, then his mate that was waiting for him pulls out of a parking space on a dirt bike and sits in front of the car while old mate Phaggot Mc Showbike moves beside the car.

They look at each other and dirt bike brake checks the car while showbike turns into him, forcing the guy all the way onto the wrong side of the road and nearly into incoming traffic....

A 3rd bike was there, unaware of what was going on, but as so many idiot motorbike riders do, was sitting in the cars blind spot with that whole moron "if he hits me it's his fault" attitude.

Dude narrowly missed being run over by the car, and then the oncoming traffic.

Crazy stupidity all round.

I would have called the cops but the 2 offenders didn't have lisence plates :/

    • 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.
