Couldnt see a thread so thought I would start one, thanks to Ash for organising the cruise today. Met some new people as with most SAU events and had a great time despite the weather. Amazing to find Lauren's parents from 20 minutes up the road from my parents place back in the UK!

Thanks to Mav for co-piloting also :rolleyes:

Will upload some more tomorrow, off out now.

A few pics:

Great cruise!

Thanks Ash for organizing the cruise, good work.

Car felt and performed great on the road, even in these wet conditions. Big thanks to EAS Performance for an outstanding job :rolleyes: Was so happy to be behind the wheel again!

A few people with cameras, so don't be shy and post up pics :)

Well I had a fun day. Shame about the wet weather on the way home but now I can say I've at least done half of the GOR.

I'm glad I got my hands on a CB. Much better when you know what's going on. Al. Your Evo is sick.

There are some pics here. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Go...80#entry4087187

Great day out :D

Pity about the weather on the way back, but oh well, nothing you can do sometimes!

Thanks for coming everyone... i must thank Aaron @ rampant & Mick @ Micolour, without thier help thurs/fri i wouldnt have been able to take my car :bunny:

Top blokes both of em!

I'm kind of pissed about this... despite having signed up to SAU Vic on 4 August, I STILL haven't been given access to the Vic club events forum and couldn't get the details. :D

Sorry Max, I've given you your access today, i didn't have a spare moment late last week.

FYI - As the Membership form states and i did inform you, please allow 15 business days for processing.

So 4th Aug + 15 business = 26th Aug.

26th Aug would be 2 days from now :bunny:

Thanks.

Ash

    • 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).
