It is what it is Mike

:)

........ moving on, a great toy for someone to get stuck into.

all the building blocks are there, give it some love. Im dead broke (Uni student - Med school, plus a single parent) & cant give it any time, money or love

would probably buy (swap?) a mid-2000's commodore wagon with same Kms, just something basic but reliable

Yeah, can be ;)

Running well with the new battery - currently end of first tank since replacing & gotten 10% better fuel economy

What any buyer needs to know it that she, my beautiful stagea, needs her power tune done eventually. I just cant as Ive got no coin :/

Was 255kw on dyno prior to rebuild, was 235kw with the touchup of the run-in tune.

Youd be hoping for a nice punchy 270kw at ~17psi, turbo is rated for 20-1psi from ATS

Besides that, its what youd expect from a 1997 vehicle, albeit a fairly modified example.

Gave it a service at 128,000kms. Drives well. Will let it go at the 8k if someone wants it (will replace with mid-2000's Falcon or Commodore to get me through the next few years of Uni)

Omg - nistune type 6 board is close to being available.

Buy my stag, buy nistune, tune, see 300kw potentially

:)

(tune with my current ecu & see +270kw)

No cash flow in being a full time student means I can't afford to dynotune it :(

Just ended up doing a quick health check.

Running nicely, afr ~12.2, on 14psi made 247kw

Didn't do a high boost dyno run, sorry.....

Bloke cooled off - now advertised on gumtree

Had a swap offer already, but not interested in that option.

    • 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
