We haven't got long now and I imagine most of us will be spending the day before Marques in the Park polishing our pride and joys - Should we look at meeting up somewhere and helping each other out with hows, whys and why nots etc

If not the day before, we could choose another day/evening etc but need people there like Mick (Bullet32) to provide guidance etc and to hit us over the back of the head if we do something silly.

I'm sure some of you have some real handy techniques for doing this type of work and it would be fun... I'll even try hard not to put any sh!t on anyone >_< okay... we all know I couldn't help myself.

I don't know if there is enough room here at my place, but its a thought - open for suggestions!

I'd be interested depending on the day its happening.

Bah im going to have to get to canberra at some ridiculous time to polish it before Marques, bugger spending hours cleaning then driving down Barton HWY in the early morning >_<

I'm interested

However the day before I will be at a wedding so here's 1 vote for an afternoon somewhere >_<

I was actually going to take the Friday off and do it then... it's a good excuse as any

Hmm, are you sure that you want an EX detailer showing the tricks of the trade...

I might have forgotten everything, it was about 3 years ago :D

Anyone who turns up with Franjipani's will be asked to leave and not turn up to Marques in the park either...

Yes... we're sure we want you to show us the tricks of the trade... even if they are three years old

okay... I'll beg :DMick

Well... Since youre begging.....

I'll think about it. :P

Okay Michael... enuff thinking, where and when? Jeno/Jo might be able to organise underground car park access so we are in the shade, but there won't be power (??? do we need power???)

What do we need Michael? And what day, Saturday or Sunday?

Hi Mick,

As Ladybytes says we just need a time/date of your willingness and what you need us to bring "armor all" j/k.

My weekend, like a few others is on hold until we know when you would like to run this session. My GF will book me out if I don't get there first.

Thanks

I'll tell you what, you guys organise time and place and I'll tell you whether I can make it or not.

Bring any cleaning products that you want and I'll make sure that I tell you if its worth using or not, dont forget a chamois and rags.

Remember that a wash isnt a wash if it doesnt end with a good chamoising!

You wont need power / electricity unless someone needs their car machine buffed (and Im not doing that because it takes hours).

Remember that everyone will need to wash their cars to begin with so we'll have to meet up somewhere and then head off to a car lovers somewhere.

I think maybe meet at the museum early on Friday, 6:30 or 7pm, may give us some light left, or meet somewhere like Brindabella business Park or Brand Depot car park (nice and central) on Sat or Sun sometime.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
