Guyz guyz plz...

STFU OR GTFO!!

lolz..

Kiss and make up...

I don't think the goal was for any of us (aside from me) to get pissed and then work on the car... My impression was for everyone (bar me, who is by this stage, pissed), to work on the car, and then BBQ and drinkies time afterwards, which consisted only of a couple of drinks (which for me, consists of a couple of dozen..).. Anyway, yeah...

So anyways, whats goin on with this service thang? Maybe you guys should post dates so we can organize something ya know?

if that's the garage in your house man you have one massive garage lol

i vote for the 7th or 14th of June (provided they are both Saturday's?)

if i can't make one then i can make the other

what does everyone else think?

lol, hell no, i wish i had a garage that big, i can barely fit the astra in mine haha

I vote 14th o June as ima need that time to get some cash up, as i quit my job today...

but yeah, should be good to go by then i reckon, anyone got a place we can use, or am i still going to have to try and get a workshop?

who has no/lenient parents...

who has a BBQ

who has an esky

who can fit at least 10 cars from within their private property space

and who is patient...?

answer = party and service at their house...

food and beverages provided by those getting their car serviced = win win for everyone

okay, i need to replace my fan belt too... where do we get all this sh*t from?

i may... thats MAY be able to get all the 100k service parts from a friend at toyota... she can get them from nissan for $360... dont quote me on that though, ill let you know tomorrow if its true... someone has to have a big enough driveway or garage to do it in?

Didnt someone offer a garage in that thread you had about ya yellow Andrew??

I have a 2 car garage, plus room for another 2 cars on a VERY steep driveway, as well as room for 1 car on the lawn, plus about 4-5 on the verge. Its very spread out, but it can work. Oh yeh, and one down the back of the garage. You can access the bonnet if you reverse it in, but hard to get in or out unless you park it right to 1 side. We have a BBQ, few eskies, and my parents wont mind you guys coming over. Altho, if your car is lowered or has a kit, dont bother getting into the garage! Stay on the street.

But yeah, if that'll do, then your welcome to use mine

LOL 10 cars!!!

I dont think anyone got a big enough place for 10 cars... besdies im pretty sure theres no way u will get 10 cars done in a day....

Things will always go wrong when you working on cars, and take more time to fix...

Then plus the beer and food ..... Maybe 2 or 3 cars will get the full 100k service in a day... Theres a bit more too it then just changing timing belt... eg water pumps, all fluids as starters...

i personally got my timing belt done proffesionally by xspeed... Its not exactly something you want to stuff up on.

Although the rest i did my self.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
