Hey guys,

hasn't been my week. went to a suspension place onsaturday and they told me that the rubbers on the ends of the swaybars are gone, so no biggy, get them replaced. then there was a crack in the castor rod, no probs get them replaced with a wheel alignment, now the whole thing feels tight with the new swaybars in place :rolleyes:. but I have had an electrical gremlin for a while so I left it at an electrician since monday morning. they think they have fixed the problem which makes my alarm go crazy and lose all power to everything in the car (no not the battery, that is only new). thought I might get the air confixed up while its there and they have had to retrofit it with the new gas because mine was R12. Thought that was weird cause mine is a 93 model, but oh well. called him up and now he said the air con is working intermittently, on 1 sec, off the next. so he is trying to work that out.

but also that before I took teh car down there, my bonnet catch bracket was a little rusty and has snapped, so I get my car back tommorow and it goes straight down to the smash repairer to get that fixed.

hope it goes well after this, I want to get my new brakes in the next few weeks which cost $1200 fitted with new pads and discs all round.

anyone else having a bad week?

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

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

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      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
