OH...LOL. Was speaking to Ben about getting car tuned once i have had a little fiddle with the exhaust. He started laughing at me, "so your Roy":( Who has been talking out of school about the Amazing Flaming Roy:)

Seems like a tops bloke and very knowledgeable, general chit chat over the phone has left me at ease/comfortable about the work that will be getting done. So things are looking up for the old girl.

Perhaps its time that i start talking it up again:)

RB20 POWAH:D ...or something resembling power:(

Hey All,

Just had a bit of bad news and looks like an 'unthoughtful' (just j/k) friend has scheduled a funeral on the 5th :(

Will check with the missus about times and stuff like that to see if I can do both....otherwise I have a very hard decision to make :(

(Have you entered with a GTR Shiv?)

I wish. I have a better chance of getting on the track with a shopping trolly at the moment. Not sure how I ended up being listed on there but i've taken myself off. I'll just be the camera bitch again :)

Hey all,

To put the debate to rest.....its a gtst :)

I've had some good news at last and will be able to make it...yay....form sent in today.

Hey Roy I'm still waiting to see how my line goes against yours on a track.....you going to make this round??

Ok - Im going to meet up with the WRX Club motorsport committee tomorrow night to cover a few things. Including the requirement for a tow hook. It's in their sup req's but currently I don't think any of us have got them so I will confirm if they are required.

I've also heard that the wrx scruteneer's may not like the positioning of where most of us keep our extinguishers. (In the back) Again I will check this out so that we don't have issues at the first meet.

Finally - geoff - I think we have a newbie that needs a bonnet strap. Cheers mate.

I dont now about R33/34s, but R32s do have tow hooks std, so may just need a decal to show safety crews the location.

I suspect if you look under your cars they have tow hooks std, how else do they get your car onto a table top truck...or am i missing something?!?!?!?!

Is the 3rd GTR Marcus?

Yeah but they may require an external tow hook because your car may be burried in a sand trap. I dunno. I know you can get external tow hooks - I personally dont want to have to get one however.

    • 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
