any one be interested in getting a group together to go as spectators? I know my car is no where near the salon stage but i would still like to go and would be pretty good if we could get a couple people to go along together to show support for the sau guys as well as chat bout the day afterwards. We could meet up somewhere and take a mini cruise there 9depending on parking avail at venue. anyhoo, if you interested,

i'm dying to take my car to homebush and have it sit there..... but i'm afraid the coppers would have a field day on it, unshielded fan, pod, turbo back exhaust, (soon to be, Boost controller & FMIC).... so i'll take the miss's car... anyway i'm going on the saturday if you guys are going on the saturday....????

For those of you that haven't entered before it is a hoot of a weekend and it's one of those times i'll never forget. $170 is a small price to pay for 2.5 days of fun, girls, cars and other sillyness that you probably won't find anywhere else. I entered in the Sydney round with SAU back in May with a very lightly modded Stagea and it still drew a fair crowd. You do not need a show stopper to enter at all. A clean well looked after car with a few exterior mods such as wheels/lowered/bodykit etc will go a long way.

We also encourage variety in the line up so regardless of whether you own an R32/33/34 or a Stagea, Cefiro or even an R31 you can still enter.

Doofy i'm in for support work. I *should* have my new car by then so i'll be up for logistics work. :P

you made me wanna enter lol,,,,,, my car is in prettuy good condition but the front lip is scraped on the 2 bottom corners..... engine bay is next to prestine,,,,, rest of the exterior paint is as new except for a couple of blemishes that are no bigger than a ball point pen tip.... interior is in perfect condition (not that people can get close enough to sit in it anyway..... boot has a couple of thunder 5500 12 inch MTX subs.... but as i said before the boot shouldn't be on display lol. and i take pride in my headlights,,,,, they soo clean thanks to plastx

if you don't get enough people joining just give me a holla before the deadline and i'll join, up to you doof...

throw you some pics of it and highlight the few blemishes it has.... also imagine it with FMIC and maby borrow some nicer wheels for the weekend or something....

Hey Doof,

dropped the forms off at my mates place and he's super keen. The engine was almost out ready for the rebuild. He's happy to commit, but you may want to have someone on standby in case it's not ready. But, as said he is very very keen to get it in the show.

Can you PM me the fax details and any other info I need to pass on?

Cheers

Bobby

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • 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.
