thanks but im busy next few weekends.
work this weekend, camping in walpole following week then work next weekend
Man I love Walpole. Mum n dad's friends own the caravan park on the inlet. Funny Walpole stories. Me and my mate Jim rented a old van down there when I was 19, he's about 6'8" and 140kgs below zero temps. the whole bed on his end of the van collapsed snapped and dropped him on the floor outside he went crook and went to sleep in the landy with the engine on and heater running. I had beanie 2 t-shirt 2 jumpers 2 track pants 2 socks sleeping bag and sheets off all the beds. Wind was blowing in the hole like a hurricane and I nearly froze to death. Last time we went for Christmas. Took the gravel track down to the small rocky beach off the inlet. Family got out the car and charged to the beach. I opened the drivers side door got out and looked down at the massive f**king snake that reared it's head up and trapped me between it and the car. Just stood still for ages till it settled down then f**king bolted. Dad and I weren't catching much so took the dingy all the way out the inlet into the ocean. The outboard shit itself and we had to row the whole way back took hours, arms were burning for days. Have fun Trev. Still one of the best spots in w.a

+1 on beer after welding in this weather, nothin industrial like you bit still 2mm plates to 0.6 body steel.....

Did you mig or tig it? Butt weld with backing?

The plates come as direct fit so all we gotta do is clean and weld. Been running a small bead on the 0.6 first then turning the mig up to get a nice weld between the bead and the 2mm plate. Hot work inside the cars and u have to be careful u dont set fire to them lol

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.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
