220 to replace fuel filter!?!?! mate that's heaps, definitely do it yourself...

the filter itself is about $30-35, all you need to do is undo the hose from each end of it and pop the new one in. very easy to do, can get a bit fiddly if your old hoses are hard to pull off but it's not that bad.

good luck

Cheers guy, it is just that easy. thanks heaps for the comment and i wiill give it a try tomorrow. yer i think that guy was try to rip me off with that price, will let you know if i have done it. much appreciate for the help!

turn the car on so its idling, then pull the fuse on the fuel pump and the engine will stall

that way, you will have less fuel pressure in that line and less splirting out everywhere :)

Workshop should only charge you 30 mins labour plus the filter. So all up should be about $60 to get it done.

My missus just paid $250 for an aftermarket WRX turbo intake pipe, because her stock one had rips and holes etc.

I wz lyk siiiigh, y dnt u jst get a gud stock one frm a wrekr 4 lyk $30 an ill install 4 u babe?

Stupid mechanics at her work think they know best... pfft. Then again they are installing it for her no charge. Then again they've had her car for a week now.

What I'm trying to say dude, is that you should get your boyfriend to change your fuel filter for you :rofl:

a good answer, this you should ask Midas or any other garage that don't fix Japanese car, they are the best charging the rip price.

if you do end up paying someone to do this for you may i suggest you atleast ask them to show you whats required to do it.

it really is that easy, you would only need to be shown once and when you see how its done i can guarantee you will never pay for it again.

You're still going to pay someone?

This is depressing.

I remember a while ago, a guy on here had a window smashed, payed like $80 for the glass, and another $50 to fit it? something like that ... literally, 5 mins, in and out, tops...dunno how the f**k people justify spendings like that..

that could have been me... had the rear screen smashed with a brick..

150 dollars second hand rear windscreen... which i removed from the car it came out of.

then i installed it into my car.

If you still havent changed the filter.. go boil a kettle... make a coffee.. then pour the rest of the hot water on the hoses that connect to the filter. the rubber will expand and the hose will come straight off

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day. 
    • It's all the sound deadening, and extra shit piled into them, plus all the extra (even though it's thinner) material for crumple zones. I can't fathom in modern cars why they need canbus to the headlights, and why the headlights must be vin coded on some cars to the ECU, BCM, and security module! Especially when they claim it's for security, yet, the canbus at the headlights let's thieves steal the car in minutes, so even more cars are being stolen! The Mercedes Sprinter 907 vans. They're a huge van, but a "basic" van. Yet they have that many canbus networks, plus two Lin networks, AND an Ethernet network. Logging a single network alone of 8 byte data frames, and they will generate a 20mb log file in 5 minutes. That's one network, and I can't remember the exact amount, but there's over 10 full CAN2.0B networks in them. I'm not a fan of modern cars, oddly, more and more I hate DBW, and all the bullshittery the cars try and interfere with. But all that bullshittery adds weight, plus crazy regulations on crumple zones, plus, ever picked a modern seat up, half of them have like 4 electric motors in them and will weigh 30+kg each. Then all the motors for things like adjustable steering columns blah blah blah. And did I mention the sound deadening so you can even hear an ambulance right behind you even if you 7.2surround sound is off?
