damn paul im going to feel sorry for your ass (although v seats are comfy), 4 hrs to get to perth for cruise, well done champ! anyone who is going to read this please call paul if you have any questions or would like to meet later on in this cruise.

I HATE MY V.

i'm not coming now. 30mins out of town and my windows are having a epeleptic fit.. Shooting up and down, the door lights are flashing, big warnings are flash on the screen. WHAT THE SHIT IS GOING ON?!!! :D i can't drive 4 hours like this then 4 hours home the next day.

I am so low right now. I so wanted to come and see everyone, real sorry XTC i can't give you the K&N filter.

And on top of this i get to pay a cancellation fee on my hotel room yay!

Anyone ever had this problem before with there V's? I know the window motors sometimes die but this is differnet.

Really sorry everyone.

paul you wanted this more than anyone? this is real bad luck mate. can you try get it fixed? why cant you drive it down here and get it fixed in perth? mate its all good. but if you resolve it then give me a buzz and meet in middle or late cruise. kelly i see you reading this is the photo still happening?

Paul, I feel sorry for ya mate, you had to do so much more prep than everyone else and you have been screwed at the last hurdle.

I don't care if i'm there by myself (ok maybe i do) i'm gonna be there. My car is clean, its a beautiful day and i'm gonna go for a drive (sorry to rub it in Paul).

i honestly didnt expect that much number of vs showing up. day was good and the coastal run was nice and relaxing. we all managed to drive behind each other on the west coast highway along the beach shores that was the best run ever. oh and thanks to me we wasted 5 or maybe 10 mins at that bloody lights before orrong rd my bad :D

want to thank chris/kelly for the photos, myself for being iron chef :down: and everyone that turned up.

will be organising another one soon so sit tight paul lol. chris will post heaps more photos in the next few days.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • 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  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
