Hey everyone,

I have a formal on the Gold Coast coming up soon and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in driving my partner and myself to the event. I would be happy to get your car professionally detailed and you would be welcome to attend the small pre-drinks event if you wish.

Thankyou,

Mitchell

Woah, what's your limit on the car detail? eg, a detail on the coast by Driven by Shine would be $500-700 range :whistling:

I just checked that website and it said $60 and $25 for each additional hour. I'm not familiar with that company but do they have like extra costs for luxury/sport cars?

To qualify for this service you would have just had a Exterior Protection or Correction treatment performed, or the vehicle is near new. Recommended to be weekly or fortnightly.

Better off putting a value on it mate. As has been mentioned, people have different ideas about what "detailing" is. I don't think any one would hit you up for a $700 session, but you have to outline what your expectations are. Owners of these cars are not going to take it to the local indian carwash for a cheap wash. Keep in mind, there are lots of these requests, and good on ya for being a bit different.

Good Luck, and hope you have a good ride/ great time.

Thanks for the advice dude, didn't even see that condition on that website. I found a $300 pre-sale interior and exterior detail on the coast, so I would probably use that.

I would post what those services entail but the text is appearing strange on the forum, so if you would like to see, go to this site and scroll to the $300 service http://elitedetail.com.au/car_detailing/services.html\

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
