The one at the night is 550 from Sydney tools. Pretty serious investment.

Why don't you check out waxit, forum trader. They have some good kits available with pads, polishes, and a Random orbital included.

Sorry, I should say, you can buy the random orbital by itself, and use the products from the guys at motor active. Bit of poor form telling you to go somewhere else.....

;)

Heres my car after going through the exact process that Owens bonnet went through as promised! ;) Only cam phone pics btw,But damn its hard work by hand! Need that orbital lol!

D: that's exactly what I want at the moment... yellow evo 9 :(

Looks great Mick :thumbsup:

Probably should see in the flesh to truly appreciate it though! Any "before" pics?

As Matt said on the night there are fewer worries with a non-metallic clearcoat paintjob as well as swirl marks aren't as obvious. But it's great knowing you put in the hard yards to get that level of finish

Thanks Matty :) I do have befores but it actually looks shinier :( lol but its not in the flesh though. Hopefully if the weather is good this weekend I will see you on the charity cruise Sunday :)

I saw you walk away from MotorActive towards your car with a spring in your step Eric > You knew exactly what you were going to do with that wrap!

Love the "Yama-Shita" motif :)

^

Ahh, same Mick_O on the evoOz build thread I'm following lol

Do want that toxicfab manifold

Haha yeah mate that's me :) can't wait for all my goodies to turn up! The toxic fab manifold is a nice bit of gear Dave I scored it for a Damn good price too lol!

Love the rims on your car Eric I think I'm gunna put them on the evo but in black. The wraps looking good too :thumbsup:

    • 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!
