Scratchies were a bust but still counting on the lotto tickets Bec :) Looking forward to sharing first div with you.

With me & Brisby - if you win, we split it 3 ways.

Bugger those scratchies - do they ever win - meh, at least they kept you entertained for a whole 5 minutes or so.

Was some new space age polymer inserted to support the WANG!!

Apparently having 2 cars for track was sooo much WANG that it completely wrecked the back.

Now I think I might have to play catch up in the club champs by bringing 2 cars and running 2-3 classes :P RWD mod, AWD std and mod

Have had a bit.

Absolute crap last night. Was taken off Brufen for dizziness, and by 10pm my back was so swollen i couldn't lie down on my back or front, and my right side. By 3am I went and shoved some Bugesic in, which is the same as Brufen/Nurofen but no dizziness. Really helps with inflammation. Amazingly I'm even better today.

Had the staples out yesterday and the nurses are amazed how good the closure was. Nice to get the best neurosurgeon in town :D

glad to hear the surgury went well.

backs are shocking things to go.

mine is calcified for 3/4 of its length and fused solid so I have a rough idea were you have been.

glad to hear someone has a surgical option. enjoy it and dont abuse your new found mobility.

Well team, I saw my back mechanic yesterday (professor of Neurosurgery at Monash or somewhere) and he recommends a long overdue rebuild.SNIP explains why I keep falling over and losing control of my left leg in right hand corners in the car. I will also get a spacer to stop the upper vertebrae crushing down on the disc as well. I'll be in Epworth for the whole weekend and then transferred by ambulance to RAAF Williams near Laverton to our Military hospital there. SNIP So all in all it is a bit of a relief, but I get to stay in Vic a bit longer.

Shoulda joined the premium service in the first place mate!! (RAAF!)

The WRAAF's will iron you out and have you feeling like a new man... Better not tell the missus. Pretty sneaky way of getting out of having to bring Roys GTR cams to the meeting for me though.

I guess there will be no excuses for not shaving a few secs off the lap times now then? ;-)

    • 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
