all great ideas! how would we go getting my space saver on the plane.... had a dream lastnight that we got 2 flats :) lol nerest bauerepairs is a long long longggg drive!

jerry cans is a must! and i think the best thing is to top up when we hit like half to a 1/4 of a tank... the dude rekns the carf will get 450ks on the highway who can back this up? obviously its all how you drive but need somthing to gauge!

cheers for the route ill program it in my gps and see what it says.

got a lot of boot space who wants to save on shipping? :P

did you dream your flats were front or rear? cos your standard space saver won't clear the brembos up front :D

OH shit thats handy...

My Autech and the RS4 had diffrent space savers, and the trim piece that goes over the top is different, if you try to put the RS4 over the Autech space saver it sits up to high, where as the autech trim is recessed to suit?

Mine gets about 450km's a tank. So sounds about right.

Carry a few cans of Tyre Weld, hopefully you won't get anything that this won't fix - saves you worrying about carrying a spare which might not fit your new car.

Where abouts in Sydney are you picking up this car, Adam?

First of February? Sounds good, we should try and sort something out.

its a sunday but we need to get driving shortly after getting it... maybe meet up with a few of the nsw stags... how far from main syd is lane cove?

Lane Cove is well within the Sydney metro area, and about 15-20mins from Sydney city itself, on the North side of the harbour.

how far is the cab ride guna be?? fair bit im guessing ;)

take a train from airport into Central ($12 from memory) and change there to catch another train to North Sydney. Then catch a cab from Nth Syd station. You might even be able to get off somewhere closer to Lane Cove, just ask when you buy your train ticket. I lived in Syd for 5yrs.

5 yrs hey :( feel free to come along! :( fairly excited!

it will probably cost $40 or so for a cab from the airport/lanecove if there is traffic about.

for the money and time i would jump straight in a cab (unless someone can pick you up).

It cost me over $50 just to get from the domestic airport to the city (Wynyard) but that was during peak hour. It'll be another $20 from City to Lane Cove. But if it's the weekend that you're going, it'll be much quicker and cheaper. Don't forget if you catch a taxi you're slugged the bridge toll too. Catch a train will be about $15 each (Chris is going too yeah?) But a cab would be about I'm guessing $50 to LAne Cove. In saying that, whereis.com staes it's only a 19min drive from Syd Domestic Airport to Lane Cove. Seems a bit quick.

Yeah, wish I could go too!

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
