Hello All,

I am a new member who has joined up after speaking to Bec, who some of you might know, about running a special for the club/forum. I will be looking into advertising/sponsoring the forum also as I already do with USmuscle.com.au and WRX.com.au

I am a prestige car detailer located in Knoxfield specialising in custom, classic, and exotic cars. With services such basic details all the way to full paint corrections and repainting and filling all your stone chips!

Bec mentioned sponsoring some cars for the National Meet coming up and I would like to throw this invite out to anyone interested to apply.

You will get a full detail and correction engine, interior, and exterior! Just for some stickers on your car. Along with a CD and book of the progress and photos to display with your car and keep for your memories.

I would like some high standard cars but I am also after one preferably black that has scratched, swirled, marred paint to do 50/50's and before and after of.

Check out my previous work at www.immaculatereflections.com.au

Please email [email protected] if you are interested

Regards,

Mitch

No worries guys,

Look forward to hearing from you.

Also a BIG Thank you to Bec as if it wasnt for her i wouldnt not have been able to organise this, Thanks once again.

Send me an email guys regardless i want a beat up car to do a demo on for deisplay purposes, this might your chance to get a complete correction for FREE!

Regards,

Mitch

What exactly does a paint correction entail?

Paint correction is polishing, alot of people confuse polishing, buffing, waxing ect. A proper paint correction is done via machine or hand using a variety of different pads (they come in different types and for different jobs/abrssivenees) and polish combinations to remove marring, scratches, and swirls.

See here :)http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/369354-detailing-and-car-care-de-coded/ for more explanation or ask if I havent been clear Im more than happy to help

A great example of my work is on my website www.immaculatereflections.com.au go to gallery and check out the Caddilac i did to see what paint correction can do.

I also use a special method and application for paint chips which makes paint chips virtually un noticable.

PS Very soon i will be offering paintless dent removal so people can get their paint looking perfect and that pesky shopping cart dent can be removed at the same time!

Regards,

Mitch

I have scratches on my front bar that have dug into the plastic so I dunno if u could fix them. It's probably a panelbeaters job...and quite a few stonechips and hairline scratch/swirls through the paint...but it's white so...

How soon is soon? I have some hail damage dents (paint still intact) on my roof and bonnet, so could be worth getting it all done at the same time.

Email replied to

Although my car isn't "beat up", but a yellow car can certainly stand out in crowds *hint hint* :P

Send information and pictures to the email address listed please :)

mitch i have some sweet orange peel and a bogged and badly painted guard. shall i send you pics?

Most definatly

Your welcome for the explanation, Are you located near me? the bar can be a panel beater job but its extremely easy to sand it back slight bog and h-fill the scratches that have dug in and spray the bar. Give me a call 0432 839 463 and i can discuss further. I would be happy to help and show you also.

I have decals that have gotten old and need removing... ...I'd be up for this..,

Removing them to make room for mine yea:P? lol, send me some pictures and we can discuss

On a side note WOW plenty of people emailing already! As you guys will know i cant do everyone and have to make cuts as there are many people interested. I will keep everyone posted, if you make it or if you dont i will be in contact with you to let you know either way and possibly sort out a detail special for those who dont.

Also add me on FB under the name not company or page Immaculate Reflections thanks and regards,

This should be in the members area IMO, although obviously access is an issue.

Kinda need to be clear if this is a Financial Member offer, or general user offer. As we discussed already, doesn't look like you'll be onboard as a SAU Forum sponsor :)

Nodoubt half the emails you've got are people not club members. So there is no promise they will even get entry to the Nationals, given its CLUB Member priority.

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
