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!!

    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
    • lights are on just the one click.  
    • Absolutely matters because, while a temperature change will eventually reach a sensor at the end of a static line, the response time is far far far too slow to be useful. Might as well not have a temp gauge at all.
    • When I was eyeing off the 370GT (after deciding I didn't want to spend 30-40k+ to relive my early 20s in an R33) I thought it'd be a good project to add a turbo to it. Now that I have a 370GT, and I've had a couple of chances to open it up, I'm pretty stunned by how much power it makes 🫠 Honestly, the way the VVEL opens it up, it almost feels like there's a little turbo tucked away in there somewhere. It's like Nissan looked at VTEC and said "hold my beer" 😁 Has anyone thrown a turbo into their 370Z or 370GT? Is there a conservative boost level you can run without having to upgrade the fuel system, or are bigger injectors and a bigger pump a given?
