Hey Guys,

I'm making my own custom Dual gauge pillar pod and before i paint it (original interior colour) im just wondering if anyone knows of any primer/undercoat that produces a wrinkle texture...

I have looked in to the VHT range however all the wrinkle texture paints are red or black and can't be painted over... i was considering using a stone guard primer but i think the texture would be too rough...

HELP!

Im pretty sure your referring to Stone Guard... please find out

Wrinkle texture - if you look at most plastics on the interior of your car (a-pillar) you see it has a rough/wrinkle texture.

use wrinkle paint - then coat over it in the colour you need.

OR

you get a spray gun full of primer , turn up the pressure and pull the part back from gun - so it dries as it heads for the part - then the primer will be wrinkled - then paint it!

I dont have a compressor at home... i need a solution-in-a-can! lol

do the same with the can - so it sort of splutters onto the part :laugh: dust coatings only - but try to make sure its a hot day/room

What about Stone Guard Primer? or would that be too rough??

I was talking to a guy at Peps Auto today and i asked if i could paint over the VHT wrinkle (black) and he said that the wrinkle effect is due to 2 different types of paint mixing with oxygen and causing the coating to shrivel up... he said if i spray another type of paint on top it will peel/flake off...

stone guard wont work cause it's really think, a normally spray gun wont even spray it, your after a paint called 'bumper texture' i dont know if you can get it in a spray can but i'll stil.l get the brand for you 2morrow. Off the top of my head i think the brand is K&H, if you were in melbourne i could do it for ya

and with the primer idea it might work but primer needs to be dry then rubbed before painting over unless its a wet on wet primer which i dont think u can get in a car and also don't forget to use plastic primer before u put anything else over it

yeah K&H texture black. it does come in cans you can get it from repco. or i think septone does something similiar aswell. you could also try just pushing the spray cap down halfway and the paint will sort of splutter out. then give it a quick red scotch down and then paint the colour of choice. that way you keep decent adhesion :banana:

Spoke to an automotive paint store today and they said to use Moto-Spray Stoneguard Primer and use light coats until desired wrinkle is achieved then paint over with desired colour...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.

      9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

      Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
