Mostly bonnet and right B pillar then there’s other imperfections in other panels, am I asking for too much here?

 

When mine was painted I couldn’t find any imperfections

 

Something is very wrong with yours

I'd be taking it back to the painter,  you payed good money to have the car painted properly. Maybe take the car to other paint shops and ask their opinion on what the cause would be (in their experience) before you go back, so that you have an understanding.  
I wouldn't accept anything but perfection, if that's what you were paying for.



Including the insurance payment we would have spent $13,500 on the paint and repairs

Nope, should be perfect! Specialy if they paint exotics sports cars....

Haven’t.

Yeh but not sure if it’s from when running which I think is unlikely or once shut down

 

Id run a leak down and comp test once warm just to be sure theres nout else wrong.

I only started testing the oil after building the engine and it’s always had dilution.

 

Must be an injector then, sticking on shut down. Do u get alot of popping and banging on over run?

as unbelievable as it may sound.... 
 
i might drive the skyline this week... [emoji4] i cant even remember which month it last moved but the dust suggests 4 months or so
Perfect dimensional outline on the floor:-)

Here is our paint issue it’s hard to see but it looks like it was sanded with 80 grit before spraying

Yeah I reckon youre pretty right on that Martin. I used to make polished aluminium bull bars. 24grit to take off the top of the weld. Blend the corners with 120 on 7 1/4" sander. Then to 180 and 360 with orbitals before double polishing. One slip with the heavy grit or a dig (sander not flat) and it was all over. Deep looking swirl mark scratch. If you tried to polished them out with the hard buff wheel it would scallop out the Ali and you'd have a pocket that showed up like dog balls in the sun.

I asked Larry Kosilla what he thinks it is and this is what he said

"Hey bud

It looks like the wetsanding was not done properly :(

Or the paint could have stretched when painting...who knows. But it needs to be fixed by the painter. Yikes!"


 


Larry is one of, if not the BEST Detailers in the world and is who I turn to whenever I have a query about detailing cars.

Both of my brothers worked at a paint shop and have both said stretching but where there are cross hashes they reckon poor sanding, who knows?? Phil’s seen it and agrees it needs attention probably December or in the new year tbh

Was thinking excessive fule being burnt in the exhaust manifold, turbo or downpipe

nope. and i have a wideband and its been leaned out at cruise which the last 1000kms was constantly at

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
