HIya, does anyone know the details of the crowd in Wandi that do ceramic heat coatings?

GTST-VSpec has told me their name in Competition Coatings, but they arent in the whitepages so if anyone has their phone number it would be appreciated - trying to organise my dump pipe coating for tomorrow.

This is the contact for the Ceramic Coating place in Wandi. Have just sent off manifolds and turbine housings and will be sending off dump and front pipes very soon.

Just thought I'd post up for future honkeys looking for the info. Dunno what it looks like yet, think it only went off on Friday with a bunch of other stuff from C-Red. Turn around time is a minimum of 3 days and the very hi temp stuff (think it's branded their 'Platinum Coating') is being used on the stuff I mentioned - so only a black satin finish is available.

Yeah, that's the same stuff that we got done.

Adam, Yes he's thinking about doing a RWD conversion later. The owner, Ray and other are working on the car, it's easier to say "we" rather than go through the details, then people can ask me if they want more info.

Slightly off post but related, I plan to get the inlet manifold on my "R" coated.

The PFC allows for monitoring of the air inlet temp and this suffers badly from heat soak when not moving. It takes a long time for the temps to drop again once you start moving. I confirmed by finding the manifold very hot to the touch (estimate ~ 70 C) when the air inlet temp temp is showing around 50 C.

The intercooler outlet pipe actually stays very near ambient temperature (from constant checking by touch) with only minimal driving, however, indicating that the intercooler is working quite efficiently.

It would therefore seem that with a decent intercooler, controlling heat soak from the inlet manifold is just as important (or more so) than having a cold air intake box.

Comments?

Hmmm, interesting thoughts. I suppose the other thing to look at would be where is the heat being generated from to make the plenum warm in the first place. Most I suggest, would come from the block, but certainly some woiuld come from the ambient hot air coming from the turbo side of things? I supppose the coating of the plenum would certainly help. Approximate cost would prolly be in the vicinity of say $60-90 (guestimate).

Cheers

Brendan

Yep

that's my point - almost certainly radiant heat from the block.

I'll probably try placing one of the Jaycar temp probes in different positions between the IC and the inlet manifold to confirm - Oh no, I'm starting to feel a bit like Julian Edgar now!

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
