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.

Tez

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!!

    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.
