lol yeah Mongas' head nearly hits the roof. Whats more good luck is trying to sit in the fruit bowl seats in the back with a 10cm distance from the front seats. lol.

Haha "fruit bowl seats" lol... So true.

They should of just made the car a two seater cos I cant see anyone fitting in the back....

Maybe if you remove your legs? Just an idea... :D

Thanks guys. :)

Pal, I'm sure you'll see it a lot as I moved back to Rockingham today and it's my daily until I fix the R33 4 door. Don't suppose you have a spare AFM I could borrow buy any chance to check if that's what's wrong? I gave it a clean coz it was idling rough and stalling at low rpm after I put the stock ECU back in with contact cleaner. then I think it made it die completely. :blush:

cant help you there sorry. im quite happy to rip mine off and test it on yours if you want. Surprised MONGA doesn't have one.

Syfon, If I lose one point I lose it for 12 months. I accumalated 20 demerit points while I had the R34 and 33. I'm actually driving this really normal. a) because I dont want shit to break, and b) I already know it's quicker than most cars that wants to give me runs, and c) I like keeping my license. ;)

That would be awesome coz Monga doesn't have any. Do let me know asap plz, if it fixes my problem I'll buy it.

Victor, it's awesome for a daily drive. I run 20/25W race oil so the downside with that is longer time warming up/cooling down. Mind you upon saying that, when I fix the 33 and sell that I'll be going for a cheaper daily option. The worst thing I get scared of is because I work in retail, it's such a low car and if 4wd's park next to me they literally don't see it. Plus I drive on the highway to get to work = trucks. other than that, highlight of my day is driving to work. :D Fuel kinda gets expensive too as I mix 2 stroke oil in the fuel as well.

Pretty bombed! Clean as fark.

Is it just me, every car that I see come out of fabcar are always in awesome condition.

They have a very high standard of cars there. If you go there wanting to trade-in a car with a dent or a minor problem, they'd probably turn it down. They have to keep the standard up as they sell Ferraris etc there too. ;)

I just got accepted into Uni starting in March. Looks like the Bridgeport and V-mount setup is going to have to be put on the backburner for a while. :D

    • 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.
