Then back 2 melb! :D

Its always my favorite road trip of the year! Very Recommended! :)

Nope :)

But thanks for starting this thread, It reminded me that I haven't organised my media pass yet.... Just did it then!! :)

No probs hun! :) Just Not happy that you rejected me from the launch! :)

It not so much a bogan fest anymore! I like it coz different ppl from all walks of life & backgrounds, from all over australia come together coz we love cars & some come for the perve! But its all good! 1 of the best 24 hours of my life was in Canberra for the nats 2004! But thats a story for another day kiddies! :wub:

been working there for the last 5 years in the dyno cells

not finalised if im goin this year may though

crazy car festival eats any car show in vic

so much of everything in one place

i have over the last few years seen the migration of v8s with forced induction take off

but jap stuff is still in the big hp area as well as insane naturally aspirated 8s

great car show to go to but yes there are pissed bogans by about 4 oclock that demand burnouts in any car that is still game to cut laps around

Should be going up this time around. Yes,its a traditional Holden/Ford event but a GTR won the 6 cylinder class last year beating my best mate by 10hp.

He should be ready within a month to try and win his class on the dyno. In of all things a Holden(Isuzu) rodeo.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • 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
