Well, I am currently taking an extended vacation, so I can do anytime, as long as advanced notice is given.

The car has been complied with HID intact and also is rego-ed. I spent this arvo putting on the front grille, clear side blinkers, bonnet gas struts and a cold air induction kit. I broke a few things along the way so I'll start a new thread and provide some pics with some commentary.

...Was a bit disappointed that the CF radiator top air difusser didn't fit properly on the sedan though....

Hmm, I should put my nickname on my details section such that u guys dun have to type out siu_loong_bao all the time.

proper compliance workshop shouldn't leave it intact... sounds a bit dodgy, I hope they do everything properly or it could cause headache down the way, not trying to scare you but sh1t does happen around... but at least half your troubles is gone as it's been rego'ed.

I think those air diffusers are more gimmicks than actually works...

Oh and we can call you Nelly if you want :P

Rianto, are you working on Monday (tomorrow)? Would be good just to compare keys as I am struggling to find even the same key model both on ebay Aust and ebay US....

I work every day, we're in the middle of technical go live with a project

before you buy any blank keys, talk to chris rogers on this forum because changing keys in v35 is not the same or as straight forward as in r32 33 34.

So is anyone up for a small get together and cruise yet?

How about say Saturday 25th of July, have a get together and then cruise somewhere. Just to meet some of the other members and socialise in person for a bit! :)

All V's and M's owners that wish to come!!!

Any interest this time?

Rianto, we can do the meet at your place and say G'day to the bub! Hehe...

Maybe not a cruise then...but definitely a meeting spot with a big carpark (hassle-free parking) would be good...

previously some areas with large public parking would be around albert park, or somewhere near the Como park... but that's more suitable to people who live in southeast areas...

not sure about the west, I'm only here about 1 year... so perhaps somewhere at the far end of sunshine central but depending what day/time it could be very packed though.... or I'm not sure if opposite VUT Footscray there's a big public car park which probably is a bit ample during weekends, although it's a gravel car park so I just hope no mindless idiot in their RWD shitbox gets interested, pops in and doing doughnuts with gravel flying everywhere...

talk about stone chips and cracked windshields...

or what about horse shoe bend park's viewing area? I saw that area a couple of times when I past keilor park drive, seems to be a good viewing spot with ample space...

Yeah, just a meet and no cruise is good!!!

Where are we all at? Are we all over the place?

I'm in Carlton!

Carlton? hm....

how about Garage Cafe?

never been there so dunno how big their inside car park is, although food probably not the best said my friends...

How about Saturday 25th of July at say 2:30pm.

We'll catch up at Garage Cafe, have a coffee and a chat, etc.

Who can make it?

If a few cannot make it, we could always make it another day.

Let us know!!!

    • 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).
