Let me correct you on this one budd. I own this car. It is running a nitrous Ls2 with a tricked up auto and lock diff. It has never seen the strip in this configuration so the times you mentioned are false. The car is not a show car, It gets driven daily hence its not always clean. The front bar lets the car down, but the rest of the car is clean.

Not having a go at you budd, just giving you the facts. :)

Ahh ok, yeah I wasn't so sure on the strip times as I can't even recall where I heard that lol, but good to see I'm not completely insane and was at least right about the engine ;) Also good to see the owner is at least a member on here :) I quite like it myself, though I'm not really a fan of the pearlescent paint - as awesome as it does look, just not my thing.

Yeah Trozzle - You should've known bud ! GOSH !

SIR. MY f**kING BALLS. YOU ARE BREAKING THEM. LOL

I'd just got up (still asleep really) to take son to work. Wasn't really with it.

34 was warming up so couldn't go fast - as I wanted too :(

Don't do what I do coz not a good example :unsure:

As per the bolded text.

When do I know that the car is ready to be opened/ warmed? I've been looking at the heat gauge (Bottom right) and waiting for it to go to it's normal spot (Just under halfway) however, I have 3 gauges in the middle. (One is turbz and the other is battery volt.) but the other one (Middle) is oil tempeture(?) - do I go off this to know that the car is warmed up? - it sits on 70 for quite awhile.

Just drive conservatively until the car's at operating temp (temp gauge ~halfway or so), then drive as hard as you want lol.

I'd say once the oil temp is above 50 deg you're fine to drive it however you want really, but that's not a professional opinion :)

Water temp is a terrible gauge to tell if the car is ready to drive hard. If that's all you have keep going easy for a few minutes after it reaches normal temp.

If you have oil pressure, notice how high it is when cold, and how low it is after a long drive. When it comes down from high/cold to low/normal it is ready to hoon.

If you have oil temp, anything over about 60- 70 is ready like trouble said

The important thing is it might take much longer than you'd guess to warm up, esp on a Canberra morning. The stag is not getting anything near warm on my commute.

Dont thrash a cold engine! It is way bad for it!

And don't shut down an engine that isn't at operating temp after a short drive :P if the oil isn't hot enough, the little bit of fuel that slips past the rings etc won't evaporate and in turn will sit in the oil and ruin it.

Cheers guys !

Yeah - I tend tp not thrash the car (if at all) but I don't use my Turbz until maybe 10-15 minutes into the drive and after that I wait until all gauges are lifted from the bottom of the gauge. I do wait 2mins or so (idle) of a morning and have a turbo timer set to 30seconds but will sit with the car running for 30-60 seconds before the 30 sec timer engages. I just thought I'd use the gaugges instead of them looking pretty haha

The middle gauge sits on 70 from cold and I wait until 85'ish? (it won't go any higher).

Should sit on the needle below 70.

When it raises to 70 then it's go time

Should be capable of going over 85 tho ?

Edit: Can drive after a minute or so from cold. Stay off boost till oil is warm enough.

I don't thrash mine, but I don't let it idle too long or baby it either. I don't take it to redline or launch as it's not just the engine that takes time to warm up. I certainly get it on boost (under load) before the oil is 70+ and water temp is at 'normal'. won't hurt them to be driven realistically!

Thanks for that Richard. Very Cool. :cool:

Temps? My oil Temp was getting up around 95 on my work commute a few weeks ago... Doesn't get much over 70 now. Ambient Temps affect things more than you think.

I don't sit idling on cold start but I change gear no higher than 3000rpm til over 70 on oil temp. Well, a combo of oil pressure and temp.

Need to hook up my water temp gauge properly for more information. Just can't be stuffed cutting Radiator hose etc... :)

Spotted RS4 or whatever your username is at your place of employment in Fyshwick ;)

Also spotted the person that has the dark blue 300ZX on Gladestone Street about 4pm.

And a silver R33 GTR at Dan's Tuggers. Guy was wearing HI VIZ.

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
