Hey Bob nice 2 page spread in latest Unique Cars mag

LOL.........Looks like an abbreviated reprint from the 5 page feature I did a few years ago. I'll get it tomorrw but I certainly didn't know they were doing it until I read your post.

Cheers,

Bob.

No mention of the ADM selling in the spring Shannon's auction?

50k

http://www.shannons.com.au/auctions/lot/RR9ZSB0AK3FD3B/

Yeah....... I was at the auction and was a little dissapointed that it didn't go for a bit more. I thought it was certainly worth $55K but I guess that's just the way it goes.

I'm not sure if Jim the seller is still on the forum but if he is I'd be interested to know who bought it, what state the buyer is from and just any other info he may be able to provide. Privacy laws do make it hard to find out much.

If the new owner is on this forum then please PM me as I'd love to make contact.

Cheers,

Bob.

Ok so here are the photos. I can be contacted on 0409930177 for those that are interested. The car has a non factory stereo and a cat-back exhaust, besides that it's unmodified.

Car is off the market, I have decided to keep it. On another note I have managed to pick up an original Clarion stereo head unit for it :)

There is a new one up on carsales, $46.5k, 180k on the clock, good nick. Cant copy/paste for some reason. jkr100.

Here we go...... Looks good for the kms its travelled......

75 yr old owner - just awesome :)

LOL...... That will be me in 24 years time!

Check this out but make sure you have sound. The last 7-8 seconds in particular.

Good luck with the sale.

I went in my mates black r35...what a piece of engineering, absolutely phenomenal!

I will join u 1 day but I can't part with my ADM hence acquiring my r35 will take longer than i originally anticipated.

I hope you find a good home for her Brad, and you get a nice deal done. The 35's are awesome, that acceleration!

If possible, could you make the new owner aware of this thread.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

I had a bit of a win today...........

I had to go to Pick and Payless to get a part for my daughters car.

I sniffed around and found a 1992 Nissan Maxima.

This was in the dash...... Got the plugs too.

Cheers,

Bob.

    • 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.
