Hi guys, Just a warning to anyone selling their cars. I read the other day that someones S15 got stolen in a violent fashion. Well i was just told about a similar thing that happened yesterday to a guy around the corner from me (mitcham area).

He had 2 guys come to inspect his HSV Senetor, it was all good, they seemed nice enough and they were driving a Porsche Boxster. They all went for a test drive in the HSV then they pulled over, the owner was hit by some kind of Tazer/Stun Gun and thrown out of the car..

They left the Porsche behind but it turns out that was stolen too.

So be very careful people as this seems to be getting common

im currently selling my car, ill make sure i have a couple of mates with me when people come to look at it :laugh:

Make up some water filled seat covers, which are connected from seat to seat. That way if the dude trys to tazer you he will get some electric loving aswell.

when i sell something, i always get the person to come to my work, during the day. this being my family business, it's a heap load easier for me to do that than anyone else.

i recommend if anyone were to sell a car, or some parts, speak to your boss if you are able to get the potential buyers to come to you at work, with workmates there, and easier for things to stay safe as well. could always try get another work mate to follow around when on the test drive as well.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
