There is nothing worse than the phone call.....

"we replaced this bit, but while we were there we saw this and this and this and this......"

I can only sympathise mate, ive been in a position where sh!t kept going wrong and its no bloody fun at all, the only thing that kept me going was my 1986 falcon that i took bush to do some jumps!

Karma is a killer i hope that guy gets what he deserves.

Heartbreaking story :D

I'd be organising some a cruise for our eastern states counterparts to do the guys lawn that sold it to you :no:... well after the solicitor anyway.

Your going to appreciate the car once your able to drive it knowing its completly sound. Hopefully it'll be sooner rather later.

I'm trying to put a positive spin on it. I see it as "character building" and the frustration is subsiding due to my good friend Jenna Jameson.

Cheers,

Andrew

Alrighty, the car has been in the panel beaters for a little over 2 weeks for the chassis rails and floor to be straightened ( a days job ) and still the end is no where insight. The guy who is doing it has sliced his foot open by some sort of glass.

lol figures as much.

HAHAHA

Well I got the car back last night from Down Under Panel and Paint (not recommending them to many people). $1300 later the chassis rails and floor have been straightened.

Now I just need to get the carpets of masTers. If anyone knows him, throw him a message for me. The guys i needed to get the carpets off has absolutely no idea what i was on about.

Then the boot seals and some degreasing and it should be done.

I just got the carpets yesterday from Knox Auto Carpets and they will go into the car.

The rubber jigs left and she will be ready for the pits.

Next pay day I will be ordering these rims:

hey andrew.. hows she going now? :)

still need to borrow my rims? (they are in hot demand at the moment!)

btw: those white impuls with chrome dish will look sweet on a blue 32. :D

Sup Mitch,

Things are dragging a little on my end ( my fault with running into the police with an unlicensed car and having to hide the car away for a couple of weeks). If someone is chasing the rims then buy all means lend them out. Still rekkon it will be about week before the rubber jiggers will be done. Carpets are getting done friday or saturday.

If any one ever needs new carpets. 175 for plush carpets delivered to your door you cannot beat that. Know Auto Carpets ftw!

The 19s are setting me back 2500.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
