just wondering if we can start a register of good/bad car washes in brissy. i recently went to a certain one on the north side and it was just crap it missed large parts of the bonnet and side skit.

i wont mention any names i just wanted to run the idea parts the mod's/admin's incase they are worried about defemation and all that jizz. i love having a shinny car but i don't have the $$$ or time to drive around trying to find a good installation.

what do you guys think?

best way take it to car lovers in 8 mile plains grab a wash mit never use the brushes unless you want to eat your clear coat spend $8.00 and your done best 12 mins you can use in a day i say plus thats a popular joint

i used the automated one at Aspley (opp KFC). i was in a hurry to get to the JBT concert so i didn't check the job just gave it a quick dry. it was cheap, $8 which is their so called "ultra" deal.

my advice, don't use it.

is it worth updating the first post maybe doing a quick ref table?

Having worked for carlovers for a number of years it depends on the system they having operating in their automatic washes. I've seen several system at the site I worked at over time and can say some were fantastic some shit house. Alot of it is trial and error. I have never had any problems with brushless systems eating clearcoat thats a bit strange. Sites maintain and monitor their systems helps to improve the quality of the wash.

My tip is if you are using the automatic system wash your wheels first because all of them suck balls at washing wheels lol

Have u?

Come one Noel, dont hold out???

Have u?

My responce, no i have not.

I like to use my hose in the driveway with my tank water. However it seems to piss off the neighbours without tanks.

No I havnt but i have this uncontrollable urge to see boobs squashed up against the drivers side window. :)

Pfft! $8??!! I do mine with bout $2! :P Never use the brushes. Have a bucket in my backseat with meguiars shampoo and sponge. $1 Soap Spray, sponge car down, $1 spray clean.

Installed my rain water tank 2 weeks ago...jst waiting for it to bloody rain! :)

If its really dirty I take it to the handwash cafe at Logan Rd...get a 10% discount for SAU members. $20 outside wash only.

    • Hi. This is just my curiosity because iam sure the tuner figure something out...but either way i want to ask. The "problem" is that the Nistune ECU (Stagea FW and RB25DET NEO from Stagea) sees many times the speed than the speedo does(he says the speedo show 120 km/h - correct speed and the ECU shows like 510km/h ) I told him that this car/tranny getting speed from rear diff. If iam not mistaken the RB25DET NEO "need" to see tranny speed sensor? (my tranny has the plug for it). So couple of "question" If he connects/wire the speed sensor to the tranny...are the signals gonna intervene and if...what if he disconnects the rear diff one and the speedo stops working? Or the "new" sensor from the tranny "take over" and will not going need the one from diff? As i said i know he figure/get that done...iam just curious to know what are the solutions 🙂 
    • Your IACV is set to idle too low. You need to adjust it via the screw Duncan mentioned. From memory it should be 650rpm with the valve electrics unplugged. What is it trying to idle at with the IACV plugged in?
    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
