what do you want?

and since when were you in the Asshole Country Town?

I am everywhere.

the ultimate whore.

but srsly, would like an all round machine that can do steel through to ally(if possible)

yeah they do,

Best option unless you want to spend $2k is the same one I have

http://www.welding.com.au/equipment/view/weldmatic-190

big, tough, easy to get parts for (Bernard torch on it)

$1000inc GST and its yours, can supply a nice trolley for another 180

To setup for aluminium you need a Teflon liner and the right gas. will do up to 5mm aluminium with everything cranked up

sounds like what I want.

easy to learn with?

will send you pm when I get closer to the funds.

how much extra for the teflon liner?

Liner is around 40 bucks from memory, also bugget 50-60 for a "U" feed roller.

Alternativey a 200A AC/DC Tig starts at $1500, better if you only want to do aluminium and sheet stainless..

But depends on what you prefer

And thats why i got a $270 mig.

AC/DC Tig is obviously the nicest kit, but like you said: $1500.

Maybe one day if i can afford it.

After using mine and watching you tube tutorials, i realize the ones with the chart inside and a voltage dial and not switches, are the good ones.

That Weldmatic looks nice.

But... do you have a 15amp socket in your shed? You may need a sparkie for that.

Edit: My main concern is i wont have the control to weld thin material. And thats mainly what i need to do for car mods.

In hindsight a good welder would be far more useful.

Trying to figure out the consequences of fixing the leak in the throttlebodys. So when me and the old man built the engine he decided to clean all the black gunk from the throttlebodys, not knowing that it was the seal. So had the high idle issue. Dicked around with the PFC and the TPS and fixed the idle. Then the 4wd started to play up, engaging in reverse, things like that. Took it to ESP and the wizards there fixed the issues with by fiddling with the TPS again. 4wd works a treat. So now I’m finally at the point of fixing the seals. It was almost 12 months ago when ESP fixed the 4wd so no-one has any idea what the car will do when they are fixed. Knowing my luck the whole car will explode :P

Why fix it if it isnt a problem?

Also you probly need a wideband afm to see whats going on, and what happens when you fix it.

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
