you guys gonna organise a cruise or something??

Good luck "cruising" through the main streets associated with the Summernats. Try bumper to bumper traffic and crowds 3 deep on both sides of the road.

Cannnnnnn't wait !!!

All i remember from last years summernats are bumper to bumper RTA road stops... lotsa defects getting given away that weekend. i'd prefer not to get another one, so i think my quiet exhaust will have to come out for the weekend. how do the petrol head V8 owners react with the sleek turbo machines? i can't comment on it much, i've had both now :(

I only went to braddon on the friday and saturday nights last year, but it was pretty good as far as V8 vs everyone else rivalry. Huge police presence in Braddon meant that most people were pretty relaxed and there wasn't much trouble at all.

Huge number of nice cars tho, and people everywhere. It was awesome. I can't wait till this year.

You must have been on the other side of town.

Last year (well beginning of this year actually) the cops setup a defect station on the main hwy into Canberra about 2km before the showground, I got my exhausted tested (which passed). On 1 of the main roads in town from the summernats showground they setup another defect station, I still remember watching a smick VL Walkinshaw getting done over for about 30mins last time (but then I became side tracked by a lowie at a servo that everyone was making fun of hahah).

    • 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
