hey bud good tanx :) good to see u hovering around here now and again :)

anyways not 100% sure will make it , have a bucks night the night b4 + work in morning so will be umm errr yes well u know

Always here or hereabouts!! :(

Meh, I don't care what cars are there I'll probably come along... I can't argue about 'sex-spec' cars as my 33 is hot metallic pink with a purple pearl, chrome mirrors and when i bought it was quite the bling mobile.... Now however it has drift damage on the front but it is still 'sex-spec' painted and will be even more so when i do my respray next year (yes, complete with airbrushing) :) all in all BRING ON TEH CARZ!!!! Everyone has different tastes and some of us enjoy the best of both worlds :P i personally go ooooh preetty then mmmm rubber splatter on the guards :P Then look at my girl and go oooh pretty even with her zip tied drift damage and scratches here and there..

Looking to come along so may see you some of you there :D

That "thing" won the peoples choice award, pretty easy to do when you bring along all of you mates and have them vote a few times each :)

Ohh and I don't know the owners and yes, I voted because i liked the car except the rims.. That includes the colour :P

And that perfectly sums up why I dont like the sex-spec thing...bunch of knobs who think they are too good for everyone else....Tbh I hope it hails on their 100k paint jobs

now that's not very friendly!?!?! what about he fact visitors to the region ring in additional $$$ and attention? sure, i'm not one for the mega bling/ sex spec either, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome them to an event.

I won't be going as its my daughters birthday the following day, but wonder how I would be received with my GTR after reading some of the comments (and I'm local)!?!?! Is this an exclusive little clique then?

Wow.. you guys are so narrow minded. "I don't like sexspec, its shit". Ever heard of tolerance. They go for comfort over performance, so what! Personally i wouldn't do it to my car but I can certainly appreciate the work that has gone into it. As someone has already stated "We are all modifiers".

If we want to keep the car scene in Canberra alive we really need to include everyone. Otherwise there wouldnt be enough people to support events like this. If people keep talking like they are in this thread then others will feel excluded and not welcome (as I have felt in the past) so they wont come, and the events will die off. Its not even an SAU event anyway.

I would also like to point out that JDM means "Japanese Domestic Market" ie any japanese car.. not just drift/tuner. My dads Tarago is JDM for gods sake

All I can say is go live in Sydney like I used to...you will soon feel the same way as me.

And as for $$ for Canberra...well 4-5cars so maybe 10-15 people really isn't going to do much for the economy.

Thats what Summernats is for.

And I know what the f**k JDM stands for, but in context it means Styled the way the Japanese do, i.e JDM Style

1. we are NOT in Sydney - no reson to bring that attitude here anyway.

2. ever heard of repeat business? it is about giving these people a good experience while they are here - we are all 'Car people' afterall.

3. that is the whole problem with this stupid JDM style/ tune BS. The term JDM has been taken out of context, some wanker says in a movie 'dude, that's so JDM' and everyone thinks wow, I want JDM... pretty sad really.

JDM is only ever Japanese Domestic Market - PERIOD. whats next - ADM?

    • 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.
