    How long have you been running the Mobil oil for?  I find whenever the oil is freshly changed there is no stuttering with any brand / type etc.  Strange, but the stuttering then comes back soon.  I've had best ongoing results with Castrol edge 0w40 (density 0.841) iny car tho.  If you read some USA threads apparently lower density helps

    Been in for 3000km now with no stuttering.

    With my car it didnt like the 10 tenth oil. Stuttering happened not long after.

    You have me a little bewildered with your reply.

    With my very crude drawing, is this what you mean?

    22cm length from top left corner to bottom right corner

    7cm is highest point top to bottom

    25cm length from top left corner running down to bottom right corner

  3. Had to order a new key so bought some other bits too.

    Clear lenses for the interior light - seen them on the US forums so i thought i'll try

    Door finishers - they haven't got it right with the rubber coating on these door handles(2007), they still scratch just as easily like on my r33.

    In saying that the coating does look thicker with these new door finishers.

    Part numbers in case another else needs

  4. I actullay just got my spare key for my 2007 V36 programmed yesterday!

    The original fob went missing/lost but fortunately I bought a new key from Japan and had it cut, but could not find anyone in sydney to program it. Until now....

    Used a mobile guy Marco (marcoautolocksmiths.com.au) 0402 227 228 - free plug as this guy got us out of trouble.

    He connected his laptop and managed to get the 4 digit PIN straight away.

    Tried programing the normal way and waiting 10mins but no go.

    He told me he had to connect to the car ECU and "wake it up", then he did a few other things.

    But when I saw the side mirror flip open, he was on the right path.

  5. Nice one Pete :) I better pull my finger out and run a decent number in the 200 or your going to catch and pass me :D

    Not likely mate. 2 second 60fters for the rest of the runs

    Speaking of Pro street towing......Joe towed me back home after I broke my cv - nice guy to come out on a nice Sunday afternoon

    I hear from him the car is back at UE for the injectors - had mind put in an tuned on the Thursday night.

  6. Thanks to SAU:NSW for organising a great event, shame the car called it quits just before lunch (silver 1600).

    Had 4 and a half runs, best was the very first one of 11.6 @ 123mph 1.8 60ft

    Best mph was 125

    Awesome to be able for have 4 runs within an hour, compared to 1 run per hour on Wednesday nights.

  7. Some explanations from the RBR drivers

    http://www.formula1.com/news/headlines/2010/6/10909.html

    Sebastian Vettel (4th)

    “.....Otherwise, I had a gearbox problem from around halfway through the race, which meant I had to slow down."

    Mark Webber (5th)

    “.......In the second stint I was ahead and was monitoring the gap to Lewis. I was moving away a bit at the start, as he was pacing to get to the finish. I was trying to keep my pace constant, but in the end the tyres didn’t want that pace and they go away from you. It’s virtually impossible to keep the tyres from degrading here, no matter how slow you drive. In the end it wasn’t really a surprise to come back out from my second pit stop in fifth, as I knew people in front had been packed up tightly behind Lewis. We then turned the car down to save it for the next race."

  8. I had the exact same issue a couple of days ago(when it was stinking hot)

    The car was outside all day.

    I found it hard to start, had to actually pump the accelerator pedal to get it to fire up

    Would pop multiple times on low de-acceleration (1.5-2k rpm), it drove on boost fine.

    Next morning it was back to normal again - I think it was heat soak.
