There are 2 good car washer companies that double as cafe's where you get about 5 people work on your car at the same time in Southport(Ferry Rd, opposite Freedom) and Brisbane Rd. But they can be a little costly - think the cheapest clean you can get is about $29 - plus side is it's pretty quick, and they do a nice job.

As for chicks in bikini's, there's a privately owned carwash that possibly does that right next to Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast Hwy, heading towards mermaid- on an intersection.

there are a few D.I.Y. carwashes around, one in Southport(next to the Sundale bridge as redsuns88 mentioned), one next to the Parkwood Tavern and Griffith uni, Ashmore Road near the roundabout near Harvey Norman, Burleigh (just off reedy ck road opposite Bunnings), and the Freedom petrol station near Helensvale on Brisbane road.

Well, those are all the ones I know of, hope it helps :P

The handwash cafe's are pretty average, they work on a quantity over quality basis, if your wanting a quality job with one professional detailer working on your car (instead of 5 teenagers who probably don't care much about your car or if you ever come back again) then call me...

Being a mobile business I come to you at either your work or home, quality always comes first and discount's are available for regular customers. Prices start from $20.

Call Penguin Car Cleaning - Ben - 0422 087760 or 1800 Penguin Thats 1800 7364846

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
