yeah im not saying I believe it.. just saying we'll see what happens! I dont really care either way as im just another on-looker  :rofl:

If everyone had the same attitude as you did it would make things a lot easier, that is just let the results do the talking when the car is actually finished.

I didnt have to talk about this car when the topic came up but I did solely because I thought sau would be interested in such an ambitious project.

Considering Benny has pulled nearly 500rwkw out of an SR that wasnt even stroked its fair to say that he has the know how how to deliver the goods with a car such as this.

and whats that about eating my words ash? I find that pretty funny coming from someone who compares Racepace(who are an excellent shop no doubt) to Japans finest :headspin:

according to the guys at the workshop it was, but other things have come up too, they have a business to run after all, its not like the car wont be built its just taking longer than expected, as all these big projects tend to

you said why bother with smokey because we have racepace, thats a pretty big statement too ash, in fact its too big

Its not too big at all Sam, its big by you as you have no idea what your on about.

Are you gonna take your car to smokey then??  

I think not

does any Melbourne shop take, for example, an VQ35 and test out nearly every turbo setup on it? both singles and twins? as well as other components including cranks, pistons, rods, gaskets, and everything in between? DO they do this with nearly every engine and every car?

Racepace build amazing cars no doubt, arguably the best in Australia but I highly doubt that they puts as much R&D into every setup possible as Top Secret would, thats why the Japanese are the masters of the game, they put the money into testing different ideas, if they blow an engine or crash a car big deal, their budgets can absorb it quite easily.

and if my car needed a retune and I had the time to take it down to sydney hell yes I would take it down to Smokey

Ash, you really need to need to learn to keep some of your non constructive views and comments to yourself.

Try and keep this thread to your original topic rather than puting down in one thread people who have dedicated their lives to acheiving things that neither you or me will ever achieve.

When you start bagging workshops you bring this forum and club into disrepute. I know for a fact that benny always does good deals for people from this forum and club and and goes out of his way to help out others.

As a rep of this club and this forum your not setting the geatest example.

Think before you brain fart.

    • 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
