New day, new excuse to waste money.

Car going to fab next week, and somehow a simple "hot pipe extension & new cold side" is now involving a new catch can, new pipe work, relocating shit, reinforcing the subframe, etc.

I honesty think a cocaine addiction is cheaper and provides more happiness and mental health :D

yeah but can you drive cocaine?

you can, have enough and you'll be floating LOL

Then again, can you drive the Skyline? the only time I drove it in the past 12 months was onto a tow truck, off the tow truck and reversed it up my driveway.

You make some very good points 😭

I don't drive my car because I have to get it re-insured for a decent value, not what it was worth 8 years ago

If we all had M2/3/4/5 we would use them!

As if anyone would aggressively drive something like a M5 on the track. Even price inflated Skylines are nothing compared to the costs of running/maintaining/replacing something on those lol.

I just built my own E39 M5 :P for the budget conscious gentleman!

Mate just sold his 33R weekender and bought an 09 C63, reckons it's better in basically every way and now he dailies it. Srck6 exhaust sounds ridiculously good 0_0

New day, new tow truck adventure 😂

Off to (more) fab work, at the same time I thought why not take out the subframe and weld in extra plates for strength and replace all the bushes (again) since they're all McFked.

This time round, I'm not using Superpro polyurethane diff bushes and going with harden rubber. I don't think the polyurethane stuff is up to the abuse I throw at it. They've all deformed, some cracked and cause the diff to move around now. As for the subframe bushes, I'm just replacing them with the GKTech harden rubber ones (currently Hard Race ones) as it sits the subframe a bit higher, meaning I will have ever slightly more closer to OEM geometry. I need all the grip I can get here 😊

    • 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
