that was me :)

Heh v/nice car man...

Also saw a white r34 citybound along north east road in front of the OG hotel/OG oval. Driver gave me thumbs up, i was too busy perving on the car to react

-D

spotted a few dark r33's at lobethal on sat nite while i was taking a spin round looking at lights

didnt recognize any of em so i didnt stop, anyone from here go?

hey i live in lobethal and christmas lights is shit just got my car bck from shop last thursday and been workin since havent even had time to strech the legs yet and got to go like 50 all the way from woodside to lobey turn off then wait like 15 minutes just to get up my hill and do a full detour due to traffic restrictions it blows, except for all the nice cars around :(

Spotted what I reckon was Darkhorse's black R33 parked on Rundle street at lunch today.

Also spotted a blue R34 GTT heading up Grenfell St about 12:45. Had a GTR badge :blink: pity apart from that was nice. Wasn't bayside blue though, looked like it was repainted in ford Blueprint with some sort of pearl?

Lee with a kit etc?

Would be the one ive been seeing alot lately, normally cruises around with a hot black 34 and a white 33 with decals. Not long brought over from Sydney from memory. Nice car. Its more of a glitter-blue.

Yep sounds like it Flick. Had kit, mags etc. I only saw it from about 40m away so didnt get a real close look, but the R badge on the back still stuck out :laugh:

Is it a 260 Steve? I saw a black one like Ben's in Synergy, maybe they sold it?

Went into our favourite tyre place today only to find that Chris has sold up and gone :laugh: Don't like the new people there unfortunately, Adam is still there however, top bloke ;)

awwwwww I was going to see Chris this week to get some new rear tyres - my rears are bald in the middle - not sure how that happens :laugh: .... damn , now where local do we go for tyres?

pretty sure the one i say Luke was just rs260 wing or copy

no idea about tyres, chris did tell me i can ring him for tyres and he cant get tyres but cant fit dont know how reliable he will be on this

Run less pressure Andrew, if its getting bald in the middle then its got too much air in there. Which means your not even seeing all the rubber on the ground!!

unless he is doing uber-burnouts like the top fuelers and the wheels are spinning soooo fast that they distort and all that hits the ground is the centre :laugh:

    • 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.
