hey guys,

had an interesting experiences a few days ago when a guy got startled buy the crashing sound of a falling air conditioner. he got such a fright that his mobile phone flew out of his hands and whacked right into the side of one of my front quoter panels.

now i have a nice little dent that i want to get removed. i heard awhile ago a bout some kind of paintless dent removal, where they use some kind of machine to suck the dent out. dose any one know of a place in Canberra that dose this?

I think it's called the "Dent King". One of my mates knows him, I think he is on the North side of Canberra.

Might be this one, but it only has contact details for QLD - http://www.dentking.com.au/about.htm

There is a place in fyshwick next to capital automotive in kembla st (across from class locksmiths) that does these kind of jobs ... seen a few luxury type cars in there at times getting small dints and stuff repaired

We used the Dent King last year when a shopping trolley hit the Audi and they did a great job.

There was another place from Qld that did some work on our last car, that was organised by Tony Farrugia, they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Not sure if they are still open, but, the Net shows the following:

If it's the guy who was based at Phillip, he did a fantastic job on a friends Falcon.

If you are bored, there are a number of links on the Net for dry ice/dyi method, just Google "dry ice dent removal".

I'm going to purchase some dry ice and give this a try on the Stagea.

The passenger rear door has a number of dents in it, and if this doesnt work, I'll repair and respray the door.

Dry ice is easy go 2 boc gas in fyshwick with a small esky and fill it up but don't fully seal it up cos it let's off gas good 4 sound deadener removal aswell

Correct.

Minimum quantity you can purchase from them is 4kg, costs approximately $33.

Not sure if it works, however, I'm prepared to give it a go.

I'll post results (positive or negative) when I give it a try.

Have some other work to do on the Stagea this weekend so may give it a go then (in between beers)

I tried Dent King for a little dent in the GTR, they told me they don't do aluminium dents?? Let me know if you find out otherwise... apparently it stretches.

Havent heard from you in a while :O . Had dent king do my lhf guard on Saturday. He thought it was aluminium at first, but I told him it was normal steel, as far as I knew. He didn't say anything about not doing aluminium though. Did a good job, would of been good if he had rung the first time he didn't show up though.

Yeah Im slack :D had a real busy race year and finished off with a trip to Thailand, geesh I love that place, thinking seriously about buying over there and living there for 6 months of the year.

Im not going to be racing as 'full on' this year, it was too much travelling.

Is there only one Dent King here now? or more? if so, which was your guy, I might give him a call. Its only a small dent, but it annoys the crap out of me. The Dent King guy I phoned about a year ago def told me NO to aluminium.

I went to www.dentking.com.au . Wasn't the most communicative guy, He didn't ring me the first time he showed. But it was a good fix. Theres a few small dots left in the panel from the repair. Not that I really notice them, said that was because of my respray. (paints soft)

He said theres three companies doing it in canberra, ones just started, so he suggested not to use that mob lol.

A lot of Dent guys won't do aluminium as it work hardens when the impact is made. I work with aluminium, however, it has its limitations and sometimes it just can't be fixed without being painted.

Pity i'm in NSW aye.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
