From someone with black wheels, they're awesome............never have to clean them! :D
From someone with white pain in the ass to clean Sparcos (that do look fabulous when clean) I'm quite jealous of these dark coloured wheels!!!

Brake Dust = Track day warrior street cred though lol

How about this. I get a quote to have mine resprayed/touched up. We'll pretend it's gonna be $500. Then I see how much I could see mine for. We'll pretend this is $1100. I don't want to be out of pocket more than $1000 lol, so we'll say my offer for your wheels would be $2100.

I'm breaking your balls here :D

Where are they? Sending wheels somewhere is a bit...yeah...given it's my daily driver so not only would I be without them for a while, but I can't even take them somewhere once I don't have a car to drive lol

Brake dust on my wheels makes them look like they are supposed to be shadow chrome.. and when you clean them its like woah that is what chrome is supposed to look like.. Ajax window clearner is the best chrome cleaner ;) I'm thinking of getting the chrome taken off mine and powdercoating them gunmetal gray.. I think it would look awesome!! Is there a place in Canberra that can do that sort of thing?

Spotted a silver R34 GTT with a carbon/fibre glass bonnet and silver wheels in belconnen yesterday arvo around 6 at the lights on Southern Cross Drive and Coulter Drive. He was turning North down Coulter Drive. I see it a fair bit in the Belconnen area, it looks tough!!

That happens to me alot shell.. i see a skyline and go "that looks like so and so of SAU" then do a massive wave.. usually the only thing i get in return is a blank look as the driver tries to work out why someone in a 'hotted up' avalon is waving at them.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
