That's nothing.

FIRST time i spun out on a track, out of four different track days, ass end slapped a concrete barrier, $7000 later she will look better than new. I pay $2400 a year on insurance, but can't claim as it happen at a track meet :). The fun of motorsport. I will be hitting the track again, once car is on the road :).

run of bad luck huh :) my R33 rolled down the driveway hit a tree. Had to replace the left guard and light. The panel I got is just off my body colour so I need a paint job. JUst under $900 later... Then 2 days later my friend slipped on my bonnet. Mr dint doctor has to come out now :( .. Not a happy chap

Al you young hooligan. That'll teach you for being a hoonish skyline driver!!! Nah jokes man, thats some shocking luck. Sometimes i think i should sell and buy a barina to keep me outta trouble (and a LOT better off finacially!!) muhahahah

It in woohoo!. I need to pay the rest of the money to the supplier, pay customs and then I can get it. I reckon i will have the coolers on my door step by tuesday nextg week. :)

All who have paided a deposit please pay the rest. Im running low :D

thanks guys.

Are you just getting the 600x300x76 coolers.. or are you getting a couple of the 400x300x76 units as well like last time?

I am thinking of getting the slightly smaller cooler, as the 600 could be a bit of a **** around to get on the R32 correctly. The shorter one would be so much easier to get behind the stock R32 bar..

Intercoolers are finally home :) wooohooo..All 20 of them...

For those of you who have purchased a cooler I will be sending them off on saturday morning. Too many coolers to take into work.

For those of you who still want a cooler, well get in quick as they at a price I wont be able to beat from my aussie supplier and are here now and you dont have to wait for one.

I paid immediately - you sent me crap then claim that I tried to rip you off!! :confused:

how does that work?? I pay you hard earnt money - you send crap item which is missing components and is not suited to my vehicle (you claim it was) - you leave negative in my trader rating claiming I tried to rip you off??

You are a bad trader of crap items. The forum should be aware of this.

All parts for the kit was there. Nothing was missing. If you had a look at the pictures you would have noticed everything in the kit was all there. Compare what I give you to the picture if it does not match then get upset. I don't understand how you think there was missing pieces. I'm not in the game of ripping off people. Ask others in the forum.

If you asked me how to install the kit I would have helped. But you didn't instead you blame me for not being able to install the kit! So that is why I called you a bad trader.

Since I'm not in the game of unsetting people I still offer my services to help you install your part.

    • 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
    • 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.
