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).

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!

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
