Never seen someone clublock it at the servo, i think thats a bit fo overkill if you ask me. But then again you never know what kinda dodgy c*nt can be waiting around the corner. I usually leave my car with the window down and the turbo timer running at the servo, im not to worried about it. OR should i start gettin worried?

I always leave all my belongings and the keys in the ignition when going to pay for petrol..though i only do this in areas that i am familiar with. But with the amount of theft going around, i think its time to not take things for granted.

You just never know when or what is going to happen.

Depends what area I am in, but generaly I would leave the window down but lock with remote, as most of us would.

Just remember, people who take precausion generally don't loose.

Cars often get ripped off from servo's.

Many have had baby's sitting in the baby seat.

I simply lock the car and ensure the steering wheel is locked. The built in lock not a club lock etc.

An unlocked steering wheel is very easy to break its lock, push the seat back put your feet on the steering wheel and slam it. Bang goes the lock. When its locked it makes it that little bit harder to snap the lock as you don't have as much movement.

Yeah, i lock mine (remote lock) cause i have the RevSpeed Meter velcro-ed to the dash.

Plus they have a coffee machine where i go and wait for it to be made...yum !

auto arm on my alarm does it for me. if they open the door the have to deal with the alarm goin off and then imobiliser and then me. someone would have to be real stupid to even try. i just make sure i dont leave mobiles and stuff in plain sight.

oh and the reason why people get their car jacked with babies in the back is that they give thieves the opportunity by leaving their keys in the car in the first place. i never could understand why people do that. its like leaving ur house keys in the front door whilst u walk to the milkbar on the corner. its just askin for someone to take it.

depends where you are...i sometimes duck in to get something and leave the engine running lol. I know i shouldnt. I don't do that if there's anyone else at the servo though.

But thats in Canberra...if i'm in Sydney I lock up always.

i usuallly leave the keys in ignition with phone in plain view, but depends what people are around in the servo

a little off topic, but does anyone leave there engine running while filling up due to their turbo timer or does everyone wait back for their car to cool down then fill up?

i always wait a few minutes for it to cool down before starting..

If I'm there for fuel I would take the keys with me and I would wait till the car has stop running then fill up. The alarm has passive immobolisers, so even if someone jumps in my car they wont get far unless they can by pass the immobolisers and start the car in a few seconds.

If I'm there for something else (depending on how long), I would normally leave the car running with the turbo timer and duck into the servo. I always make sure that the turbo timers I have in the car is always hooked up to the handbrake. Someone jump in tries to drive the car drops the handbrake, the car stops and immoboliser kicks in. Still take them time to by pass.

Never left the keys in the ignition tho, thats just asking for it then again I'm paranoid to a degree..

As to the guy that did the club lock, he have had a situation before which forces him to take such action to feel that he is looking after the car. Everyone has different views on proctecting your car I guess.. :)

      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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
