$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:

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
