Screw you and your 34 gtr(I'm jelly).

But good to hear it's making progress.

My cranks ready, but I've no cash currently due to selling house and associated costs.

Yeah, guess they are making progress, so was the Titanic!

You should say you lost the cheque from the sale, cash it and take the money and run, pick up the new crank on the way out of town :)

Crank was all good?

Have used sop plenty of times.

I'm bordering between youth and age, so get most of what's going on.

For now.....

I'm bordering between old age and the box :) I wish it was a softer box and I would not mind going in there, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

Trouble is, driving the car was my daily rush and started my day off with a bang after I got the girls off to school .

Knees and shoulders have been stuffed for a while, so no golf and SFA to do at home, well apart from normal house work. I am Mr Mom :)

Cannot wait to get it back and I hope it is everything I think it will be and all will be good again.

Nothing like the feel of power at the touch of your foot, the excitement of being thrust back in the seat and hoping you do not stuff the next change, just thinking about it got me excited , nearly cracked a boner, then I passed out, Fark old age, lol

I told you it would be like this haha

My engine is ready :D pick up this week

You would make someone a good wife, with this, " I told you so shit",haha

Good news mate, hope it is all good, get some pics going on your thread, maybe some vids , get Paul or Mick to drive it, dont want you farking it up again before you can get some happy snaps, haha

I'll put some pics up now :)

Well, if Slowly Slowly gets the job done, this one should be done sometime in the future???

They have been rooting around with the oil pickup and cradle over 2 weeks. I used to make Proto Type tubular products and if I was in that industry and could not do that and the cradle mods from scratch in a day, I would sack myself. If I had done the work before and knew I would be doing it again,I would have made a template so I could do it in quickly. With a small tube bender, in minutes for the bend shapes, cut the ends off the old pickup, weld the ends back on the new bends and done, of course you must do it precisely so it ends up where you want it too. Make a jig and it is the same every time :)

I just could not comprehend that if you give a company all of the components 2 months before they tell you to drop the car off, then give you a 6-8 week build time and 19 weeks later, this is as far as they have got and going on the previous time frames for the work done, it could still take them ???????????????????????????? :(

The other work was done on time and at the price quoted , more than happy with the results :)

I know, "you all told me so" , I just could not believe that people in business can be so full of shit and remain in business if they treat their customers like this??????????

These people are something else, they are like mushroom farmers, we are the mushrooms.

The Mushroom :rant:

    • 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.
