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

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!

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
