Is anyone else keen to go along to this. The last one was good, but got rained out. Which the Gem loved.

This is an excellent track for spectators as the track comes around the hill and from the top you can see most of the action.

I am going up with a few friends as we have never seen drifting before. Hopefully the weather will be nice :)

I sent a message to SootyR32, his reply was:

Yep, next Saturday, JAN 15th. Quite a good turnout this time although Marks R33 wont be going by then (he came 3rd at Calder) and we were hoping to have my mates 585hp FJ20ET powered 260Z but we blew the motor 2 nights back.
Hey Chris, you need me to drive the Gem down again. Yes?

Yeah Scott, i'll be CIG locking the gem diff this week and bringing that down too. If you dont have anything on come down. But if your busy I think I will be able to get one of my disciples to drive it down.

I don't get it, how do you push the car to the limit when your OUTside that car  Ni?  :Owned:

how will i be outside the car?? i dont get it... what because i have the balls to lend my car to someone from another country to drive my car in a drift comp after spending 4 hours over 2 days drifting in it??? riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight :)

Tell you what' date=' we need an SAU Car transport truck! QUOTE']

    • 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
