In light of recent comments regarding the paucity of social meets, i thought it'd be a good time to post one up for those of us in the north east (and others who are keen)

DATE: Tuesday March 16

TIME: 8pm

PLACE: The Water Tunnel Carwash, Cnr Fitzsimons Lane and Porter St, Templestowe CLICK for google map

BRING: Car, buckets / washing paraphernalia, gold coins for carwash, bitches etc

For those not from the area, the 'apple peel' bit refers to a large, unsightly sculpture atop the roundabout on the corner:

When you see this monstrosity, you aren't far away :D

OTHER INFO: Going east along Porter St leads to Warrandyte, where there are some nice windy roads. So if anyone is keen for a bit of a squirt afterwards, it's fairly convenient.

Get on it.

Great idea Ric, I'll be in for this. Haven't met anyone from here yet!

I'll bring my camera, maybe after everyone is done washing we can set up the cars in the professional wash area for a group photo.

Yeah I think he leaves by 4 or 5pm.

Is the new windshield in yet? Good luck with it all! Maybe see you there :)

Yeah man!

Windscreen is in.

Got an assessment tomorrow with the panel beaters, Graeme Cuthbert Automotive Prestige Repairs, in Box Hill.

Hope the dents in my bonnet, roof and front panels are not all that sever and should not take too long.

Or I can roll in my Corolla to the car wash.

Watch out for my 4A-C POWAH!

I will Touge run you in your R34 GTR on Heidelberg Warrandyte Rd. / Newmans Rd. / Porter St. to the car wash!

Ah damn it's not an AE86 :(

I'll come down to meet some more people :P

More GTR buddies to meet.

:)

Good initiative man...I'll come along provided I have my car on me (also might be in panel beaters for hail damage).

How bad is your's Birds?

the owner's gallardo is never there outside of business hours unfortunately :D neither is the m5, e63, 911 etc etc i see there most days

The owner has that many cars?

Damn, I need to own a carwash.

Oops, scratch me on this one, SAU Vic monthly general meeting falls on the same night.

My hail damage is a few (15-20) dints on the roof and bonnet, couple on fenders. Not huge but enough to spoil the car that's for sure. I read about your damage...bad luck brother :(

The owner came up to me when I went there once to wash. He said he used to own an R34 GTR as well haha.. what are the chances I can go on the same path as him :(

Hah!

You can work something out...

The sign at that carwash says no bucket washing at all.

I think the chances of the owner being there at that time is slim.. unless there's some high tech surveillance system with automatic bucket detection lol.

I'm not sure of their policy on buckets.. i always go when it's not busy so it doesn't matter.

I don't think there will be too many people there on a tuesday evening, so we should be fine

:down:

True that!

Well I guess the owner wants every dollar in the car wash, so you use the foam brush and high pressure hose... The Gallardo ain't cheap to run... :blink:

BTW I can make the car wash meet with the GTR as my assessment on my car from Just Cars is not till the Friday.

Haha that's in slight contrast to the owner of Sparkling Carwash on Burwood Highway where it says you can use buckets when it's quiet.. the owner there always comes in an X5 haha.

Awesome :down: be good to see your car!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
