I'm sure you guys will love this night.

Detailing is also a great passion of mine, I just started a new thread in the detailing section of the forum - so stick your results in there when you get home and put your new skills to work.

Cheers.

Hi Everyone,

Thought it would be good to start a thread where everyone can post up pictures of their detailing results.

To kick off, here's a 50/50 from the bonnet of an MX5 I restored over the weekend.

Cheers.

Great to see we have a full house for the tech night and as a club member, looking forward to hosting the event. Thanks Terry for coordinating everything. BTW the satellite image is a bit off. We're on the far right of the image (outside the circle), unit 35.

Currently flat out organising the Bathurst 12 hour with our Liqui Moly brand. If you're looking for something to do Feb 8-10 check this out (Facebook Bathurst 12 hour). It's gonna be a blast!

Cheers

So glad to have "Meguiar's" in partnership with SAU again Andy! :3some:

Many of us still remember Meguiar's acting as a sponsor of SAU's R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary in 2010. :yes:

Along with Jim Richards (who signed Award Certificates), Terry Ashwood, Nissan Aust (East Coast), Daily Telegraph (with NISMO's R32 GT-R N1 as Cover Story), Just Jap, Top Secret Imports, Autocult.net, Motive DVD, Performance Imports Magazine - Meguiar's with their generous gifts made that Event about the biggest there has ever been!

I've done little - we on the Executive just love to have a good time - and furthermore, watch fellow Members have a better time. :wub:

Thanks Terry, looking forward to it.

As part of the night we are planning to wrap 2 car bonnets in 3M Designer wrap so we're looking for 2 volunteer vehicles for 2 lucky participants. I'll leave it to you to coordinate if that's OK (LOL should be fun!). We have a great range of colours/textures. Check out at www.designerwraps.com.au

Probably best if the 2 guys contact me at MotorActive and we can just check the bonnets are suitable. As we only have 1 hour per car we can't do a complex aftermarket bonnet with scoops/fins etc.

Cheers

Andy

Well there you have it guys!

Andy the manager of Meguiar's has spoken!

He's sprung a surprise by offering a panel to be given a professional 'wrap' treatment and that's for not 1, but 2 volunteers :)

PM me as well as Phone Andy at MotorActive at Silverwater to discuss you volunteering your car and the panel suitability. You can discuss what texture and colour with Andy too - since there's a multitude to select from!

Owen aka cpd already has his car available to have oxidation and scratches removed on the night. So we need 2 more as stated above for a panel wrap!

Latest News:-

* cpd is a volunteer to have panel scratches/swirls removed

* darksky34 is a volunteer for a bonnet wrap > approved

* One more volunteer required - a member - who'd like his bonnet professionally wrapped ???

Many Thanks to Andy Spira - Meguiar's Mngr

and Matt Bowen Meguiar's spokesman on the night :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
