did you manage to get it back to Shaun's after the RPM dyno day and find your extra ponies

Yep got it all tuned and he told me that it wasnt boosting properly due to exhaust restriction so I fitted a high flow CAT and its boosting to 1 bar no problem now (made 167 rwkw at .69 bar) so hopefully all going well it should be around 180/190 rwkws. Just waiting for a SAU SA Dyno Day :)

nice are you heading out to the PGA dyno day on the 26th of may of so you will see mine run then AWD mode wooyeah

even if its just to watch ppls come see some good cars make a heap of power ;) /hijack

Yeh I was thinking of entering in that but its a bit of a pain having to pay before the day and I think they are running out of spots. Ill give them a call when im back in Adelaide and see if they have filled up, if they have I might come have a look neways sounds like a massive range of cars and power is going to be there.

but i have read this thread there is no set date, no set time to meet, and no actual plan to get to the destination, please enlighten me if i have missed something here lol

Ok read the following :( :

Pokie and myself will be organizing it. So far there is NO set date/meet spot. It will probably be at TTP next Friday/friday after (not saturday coz most pplz like to go out somewhere else). I will organize everything up to Dead Mans pass, then Pokie will take over from there to Kapunda. From what it looks like, its a long drive and there are a few places to check out so IT WILL LAST FOR A WHILE (wellll into the night). Not expecting a huge turnout so don't come thinking it will be a 100 cars + cruise. It will be a smaller group which is good, coz its easier to scare less people. Also it wont be a full on speeding through the hills "cruise" but a nice drive up, so all cars are welcome.

Once EVERYTHING is set out, ill start a new thread then people can express interest and i will send out PMs.

PS: Im sorry this is taking a while coz i have a lot of other commitments and even if i didnt, its the first cruise im organizing/helping organize. Please be patient :ninja: Thanks !

so i spoke to my cousin today and asked her about Kapunda and she said that

the gates these days are paddlocked, didn't say why so i asked her husband

he said they got paddlocked coz people hav been vandilising it and lifting up tile

things to let the "ghosts" out.

but we can still go there to have a look.

btw i have the route made KISIN is gonna check the 1st half of it 2moro night

and let me know if it went good and whatnot.

hopefully it is good coz it's the 1st time i've done it :(

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
