Ah Will, you know me mate, I love thy bling :happy:

Yeah, between your wheels and my engine bay we've got it all covered :laugh: It sounds reasonably tough for a 6. A bit loud though.

Thanks Brenton. I haven't forgotten about the BB PM either mate!

G'day Joel,

Getting pretty close now mate. It's running. We've still got a dozen or so smaller tasks to complete (mostly asthetic) and we 'may' end up having to swap the exhaust housing & wheel over if it shows in tuning that it's too large.

See attached pic, taken 2wks ago.

Ha-ha yeah mate that A/C install is a classic! But it works. Yeah good to meet you too. The wheels on your 33 look awesome!

That's the mean engine bay you have going there, very impressed looks s@#* hot

whatsisname :

Your engine bay looks rather tidy.

I will be taking my car to Shaun once its all back and running smoothly. I need to sort out the fuel econnomy ( or lack of) and a bit of more loving for my engine.

It doesnt help having shit coil packs in missing so much that the raw fuel just goes out the exhaust. 127km at 1/2 tank. This is from filling it up on sat morning and driving it maybe 4 times since then.

Thats insanly bad. I pull that out of the first 1/4 of a tank. :S

A couple of things can stuff fuel economy. O2 sensor and injectors.

I bought a new o2 sensor no change in economy (~350km's to a tank), bought injectors fuel economy perfect again.

Wow that was quick your already back for good?

Job prospects got better here? or didn't like brisbane?

Just too hard to leave the old lifestyle we know behind. Have many friends here and decided we just needed a break. Job prospects have been picking up quite considerably in adelaide also...

Its a bit weird but hey...

:laugh:

big exhaust leak - cant get past 12pound, need studs replaced. so its a turbo/manifold off job, new oem gaskets etc. will get shaun @ boostworks to do it in the next few weeks

damn; although I knew it had an exhaust leak however I didnt realize it'd affect it this much. oh well.

umm, a little fiddle with the safc (everything was 'pretty off'), set fpr correctly, 160rwkw with the boost not being able to hold and dropping to 8pound I believe. boost guage shows it going to 0.5Bar and it feels as strong as previous, perhaps better?

Booked in for the Fri 16/3 to fit the adjustable exhaust cam gear wheel, do the manifold stud work etc, new gaskets and all that, & a proper retune. Got quote, its a decent price so I'll be happy with the end result Im sure.

youve goto do what you feel is right no point going to sydney qld where ever to make 10-15k a year more if your heart isnt there and your not happy

Youd easily spend that on living expenses anyway. Adelaide is so much cheaper to live.

yeh mine has a afm prob atm, it might be cause the intake pipe is too short and causing turbulence and afm is havin a heart attack but will find out 2moro lol

Was that yours in the dyno room this afternoon? Were you in the camo gear?

I was looking at your engine bay thinking there was a lot of stuff in there. I was hoping to see the beast have a dyno run.

I was wearing the Barca football top and cap. Sorry, I should have said hello. That was my white R32 GTR that Troy was working on.

    • 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.
