oh snap haha, thanks for the information mate, Ive been reading about Karratha trying to find out more about the place, but that's probably the best description ive heard yet. Kinda killed my dreams of tearing up 200m of sticky tar, but im sure there must be a plase to go to burn rubber? Pm me, we should organise something some time :):O

And would there be a drag strip, or race track arround there?

i only work up here as im FIFO from Perth and im only here in Port Hedland for another month or two, afte that who knows where i end up, as far as a race track i highly doubt it, there would have to be an illegal drag strip the locals use as there is plennty of straight roads out here to go play on late at night :rofl2:

once you get there my Skyline should be ready to sell, ill pay you a spotters fee for selling my car!!

Well two skylines are ALWAYS, better than one! How much do you want? What sort of mods are done ect.

Im up there 4 weeks at a time Work at Cape Lambert. Yet to decide on what car to bring up, or i may buy one locally.

Not that i have been up there yet but if i was to choose between your 2 cars, i would choose the Passage. GTS too good to take i reckon.

I've been up here two years (fifo) and wouldn't advise about bringing a skyline up here... you'll have to run bp-98 for a start.

Not to mention the red dirt/constant heat will kill the paint. There are also no decent roads up here so expect paint chips/dents/etc.

Simple response is buy a 4wd for up here, leave the skyline at home.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      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
