Yeah Rob might give you a ring this arvo if i get a chance

I remember someone loosing a plugger last Easter, haha. ;)

It wasn't an organized cruise. I was out with Fritz and the biker boys. The harbour just started to get packed all of a sudden... Not as big as it used to be but there was still 40 odd cars there.

I've just realised there is the Touch up Guys right near my house... might go over and have a chat. Original owner of my V looked as though he attacked the rear Nissan badge with a screwdriver to get it off and left a very deep and large scratch on the back and i want it gone.

yeah man, you have to be very cautious where you take your car here. I've been burnt by 90% of the places I have taken my car to - Tuning shops, paint and panel, and engine builders.

There really isn't any better piece of mind than doing it yourself to be honest.

This is the main reason that I started tuning my car myself - because no one I asked or took it to had a clue. This was nearly 10 years ago.

Now I get called very often for tunes lol.

have you talked to Nur33 about his 350z turbo kit yet? lol

Good to know man, only problem with that is i've only just got into the mechanical side of cars so it's a massive learning curve. I've called 4 different places now just to get a bolt replaced in my front rear castor bar and aparently no one can do it. Such a joke.

Nah what happened to it?

Chris Pace in Furdsen Street Glenella does great work with panel and paint work. Got some work done on the 34 in there a while ago couldn't be happier.

+1

he did my old car and did a great job of it

Cheers, will take it in to him some time this week

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
