A45 AMG confirmed @ $74, 900 for September. 6.9-7.1L/100km and the 0-100 dash in 4.6 seconds...

EDIT: The Japanese ad had me convinced anyway...

A-a-ron get me one pls.

for the myriad of things you are having done it would be a LOT cheaper to go elsewhere....

im more after a place which can do everything at once - tune + 100k service + install parts

racepace did an awesome job last time i took it there and is much cheaper than another place ive been to a few times, also their previous quotes were pretty low from what i remember..

anywhere you would recommend?

SHEES! where dod you used to have it serviced? Nissan Australia? :P

GT hyper and the Trent to tune...

their quote for my engine conversion was HALF that of racepace... HALF... I have been going there religiously since

ahah i used to go to le mans automotive in templestowe

damn okay half would be a big difference!

might check them out :P

was originally going to see if trent could do the tune

Strangely enough, I find the dirty little shops always to be the best ones to go to, and the ones that take most care.

Scott's shed for example, there is shit everywhere. But wouldn't go to anyone else..

I called up Lin once, booked in my car to install the new gear... Injectors, AFM, ECU, Turbo, Fuel pump etc...

Price was good as well, the only problem that he was really bogged down with work in the time span that I needed it to be done, it was going to take 2 weeks to get it done.

So I ended up doing it myself at home over the same timespan, just working a few hours each night... Learnt heaps and somehow didn't screw anything up :D

Wouldn't suggest that route to install all your new fruit on the GTR though, would be very ambitious indeed. (But would save a bucketload for sure)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • 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
