Things are looking great this morning.

Will pull out the deep crystal 3 step thing from Meguairs and start working on the babe.

In terms of admin stuff, I've got the flyers ready and Excel spreadsheet set up - just need a BEAUTIFUL sunday morning now!

Could be out. Car won't start. Battery is f***ed! :) Anyone have one they could lend me?

Got a spare loaner battery N66 with rating:585CCA in good cond... but...

size is 17.5cm width, 27cm long, 18cm high

It came out of a 6 cyl BMW

...and it's at Springwood, if you want to bring your Ford to pick-up.

Best I can do atm.

That reminds me Shanil that whilst the weather report is: FINE & WINDY tomorrow, remember that...

If Sydney temp is 21, Mt Wilson temp will be 16. And then take 2 more degrees off as wind factor = 14.

Take a jacket!

Meguiars Step 1 paint cleaner complete.

begin step 2 polish in 20 minutes when arms can be bothered again.

one query - do i need to wash my car again in between step 1 and step 2?

The babe has been cleaned, polished, waxed, vacuumed, tyre shined, and window cleaned.

A good 6 hours of work has finally paid off!

Can't wait until tomorrow.

just vacuumed, washed and tyre shined car!

downside it's still dirty haha oh wells

Calsonic14u: you wont happen to live around mosman or northern beaches way? sometimes see this blue r33 around the area

Car is washed, inside and out - to the best of my concentration and strength anyways! Doesn't look too shabby but definitely won't be winning any Best Exterior prize!

Anyone heading up from the North Shore or Northern Beaches? Missus and I wouldn't mind some buddies on the way to Penrith. We're planning a 8 to 815 departure to make the 930 meet. Have to take it easy, fuel will be an issue tomorrow!

Sorry guys, got caught up at the shopping centre.

Based on today's weather in Sydney and the above stated forecasts, the event tomorrow is going ahead!!

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
