$4 at car lovers? Man car lovers is DEATH to your paint and the only decent car wash do it yourself ends up costing me $20-30 and that's the self serve that you drive out of at the end and you realise your car isn't clean, its just uniformedly dirty.

I hate car washes. :P

Hmm so what are our numbers looking like- about 6-8 people in 4-5 cars?

Duncan's gone quiet. I hope noone from the main bit of SAU is angry we're having our own thing - I just wanna meet the cefiro brethren for now and I can't make Sunday. My car isn't ready yet to face the liners... when I face the liners I wanna have a gearbox I can shift :D

I just found this little guy ehe ----->> :bananaman

Yeah that's the one I mean ceffo. It's death to your paint and it does the worst job of cleaning.

The DIY detailing tutorial on SAU is the BOMB for cleaning. I'm washing my car with a chamois from now on. I washed it 2 nights ago and it kills it - paint looks so good now.

[ edit: thread- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47397 ]

Yeah once you buy all the stuff though you're set. I dono I'm gonna just buy more chamois so I don't have to use a sponge. I don't trust the sponge. Chamois is easier to wash with too but you can never get the soap out so that's why I need a few.

After I buy a few chamois I'm just gonna get the after washer but yeah.. i wanna get my car treated so it doesn't need to be washed, just watered like the fully sick cars :D

I will come although I wont be able to get there untill about 12 I would think maybe later. Have to see how I go and I will bring Russ GTR along as hes immobile atm. I think it was ceffo who left his no at the start of this thread so I will message you and see where you guys are.

I just started a turbo swap yesterday and still havnt got a dump pipe or iol supply line made. looks like i will be busy today.

i will still be there with the car running even if the dump pipe is made from gaffer tape...

Nice one CEF11E.

I had my inlet pipe fall off the turbo yesterday and spent all night fixing it. (well a few hours anyway).

Gonna try to change my gearbox oil today (if i can figure out which bolt needs to come out).

Oh and my CAI pipe fell off on the freeway and into my wheel so I'm going to be downstairs in the carpark after work trying to get that out without getting my suit dirty (UGH WHAT A NIGHTMARE). Oh well .. neoprene it is for me

too_much_boost I think was trying to put in his cams last night also.

We'll all get there!! (and funny you should mention the gaffer tape.. my car is held toegether by zip ties).

hehe new turbo on and almost ready.

I drove 2 suburbs away to an exhaust place with no exhaust at all. just the stock dump pipe!

it sounded like a cross between a v8 and a jet engine. every one was looking at me :P

13 is about right. But yeah I ain't got no radio so if anyone wants to bring me an extra should they have one that'd be nice.

breaker.. breaker.. radio check please there is a bogey on the smokey in the hogie logey...

Notes on channel allocations:

1.  Several channels are set aside for special uses.  These are:

Channel 5       Emergency Channel

Channel 11    Call Channel

Channel 40    Road Channel          

2.  Channels 22 and 23 are used for telemetry and remote control purposed.  The ACA advises that voice communications on these channels is prohibited.

3. Repeaters transmit between channels 1-8 and receive between channels 31 and 38.  Avoid these channels for non-repeater (simplex) communications.   Repeaters operating on Channel 5/35 may be used for emergency communication only.  If you are near the station you are talking to, you should move from the repeater to a simplex channel (see note 5) to leave the repeater free for others who cannot communicate direct.  

4. Though Channel 11 is officially the call channel, most people use repeaters for this purpose instead.  Many truck drivers use Channel 40.  

5.  The following channels are suggested for general simplex communication:  9, 10, 12-21, 23-30, 39.  

turbo done.... yea ha! by seat of the pants dyno its running around 200rwkws at 16psi...

feels really good lag is not noticable and it pulls hard all the way to 7k.

why do i always start this shit just before i really want to use the car?

see you guys there :looney:

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
