nice article...

do we need to mention that leewah's car was sold momentarily to some tosspot in the UK?

Quite amusing :D

I don't think people realise how much effort or time it takes to actually get a 600+ kw GTR and more importantly, keep it running for a good period of time reliably.

haha.. idiots.. well most S13 owners are either tightasses so gotta expect those sort of comments :D

Sorry Dave. Your car isn't worth $120,000 because:

1/ NS.com says so

2/ It isn't even in Australia

3/ It gets defected and EPA'd every time you start it

4/ It's purple

5/ It's not an RH9 car (which apparently means it has to be owned by a UK wannabe with 9 quid in his 'sky-rocket').

6/ Did I mention that it's not in Australia?

hehehe....Seriously though mate, what's the plan for MAS? More gas? More boost? Gonna take back the title?

7/ It's AWD and you're a big cheaterer!

LOL!!

ns.com says it ain't worth 120k? Yr right. It's worth more!! What was I thinking...

If I can get the price that I want here in AU, I'm taking it back from the joker in the UK who's bought it for 26k pounds apparently.

EPAed everytime it gets started? That is something I can't deny. It's been EPAed twice in the last 3 years and is canary free. The simple fact is that I get left alone coz the car looks stock beside the rims and exhaust.

Purple!! It's the new black dammit!!

AWD just means that it hooks up better and is generally faster than most. I wouldn't consider myself a big cheater..... :)

The car will be at MAS this weekend and if I take the record back, I'll be happy, if not, eh so be it. I'm not gonna break the car for a trophy.

Cheaterer i tells ya! At least you can wind all the torque to the back and keep it there :)

Dude, braking the car for a trophy is what it's all about :D j/k...

Good luck mate and make sure you keep us all in the loop.

    • 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
