meh .... maybe my idea of 'modified' is different to your idea of 'modified'. I will be doing a few small things to it, then that's all. I just mean I am not going to go nuts on it like I did to the S15 :P

just realised it was boof and his dr30 i spotted at lofty few weeks back

AHH HA!! Thought that was you!! The other DR was Crimmo if he ever post's in here *shrugs* On a run in drive for him!!

Sorry if we were a bit cold towards you, was weird day and both of us were having car issues as well...My left hand wheel spacer decided that it didn't like being bolted to the hub anymore, so tried to dislodge itself, luckily it did it a few streets from my house so i limped it home, crimmo was having over heating issues....Damn cars huh :)

;D

no problems man, i just took it that you didnt want a stranger interupting your conversation, but you werent unpleasant towards me mate ;) Cars looked great btw. and that noise i mentioned and showed you hasnt come back :)~

Where from adelaide are you from, go up to lofty much?

Sall good then!

First time we've had both those cars on the road together actually, like i said bit of a run in drive for my mate and i was just out for a sunday jog lol!!

Im north atm, about 10 mins from ingle farm K mart, other mate is north eastern side of town, rarly drive the cars and when we do its usually in the hills! Thats only about the 2nd time i've actually driven the car anywhere near lofty in the past 2 years i guess, mainly cause its been off the road that long!!

Good to hear that noise hasn't come back, mine develops noises all the time and then the vanish, when they get really bad then you worry :zap:

;D

Spotted a suspect lookin silver S15 (Nightcrawler) ;) :wavey: on Satday arvo on Nth East Rd at Greenacres heading into town.

Also, last friday I received a serious case of whip lash (had to go to the chiro after :) ) when I saw a nice blonde drivin a dark blue R33GTSt into the St Agnes shoppin centre, it had custom white on blue no. plates (SKY ###...I think???). Can't think of anything sexier when the ladies drive nice modded imports :drooling:.

ah that was you .... I gave you the 'nod' as I went by :) - nice ride!!!

Was I going in a straight line at the time? I was having traction issues due to the rain! Darn I hate it when that happens hehe

My gf and I had an early night and on the way home spotted the d1 garage s14.5 drift car being put onto a tow truck opposite the coca cola factory. I didnt know that thing was street registered. If so, must have gotten defected.

Keep it looking nice.

Make it a bit of an Auto sling shot off the line. :D

    • 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.
