Ha ha- well, after checking out the "fragrance fairies" (i kid you not) on offer at SuperCheap the other day, I'm sold!

My vote - I'd be happy to pay for a new car with leather interior smell : )

Not to mention helping a fellow SAU-er get a business going!

Those clip things here in perth are $4.50 from Kmart! they are by far the best. You get 4 per pack and I only use 2 on my vents at a time on the middle ones lasts about 2 months then use the other 2 for another two months! i buy them in black so you can barely even notice them..... so my car smell nice without some peace lovin hippy tree thingy floating around in plastic bashing the crap out of the plastic and giving me headaches....

clips are my favourite!

those ambi pure are $6 from Kmart.... Perth.... the home of cheap smelly stuff :-)

I love my Shell Lavender car deodoriser... its about 5 bucks, but goddamn it gets rid of any smell possible, comes in a vaporiser bottle (not one of those ugly things you hang on your vents which eventually breaks it), and smells awesome.

You got no option for "I like what I have and will take something that shoots fireworks and butterflies when I spray it to make me change"

I would never use an air freshener because of allergies (eye's water, cant see the road etc) but i reckon there'd be a huge market for smell neutralisers because even when i'm in a position to import a car from japan, one thing that's really putting me off the idea is getting stuck with an interior that smells of smoke, which i cannot stand...........and considering that the Japanese are some of the heaviest smokers in the world, i cant imagine the chances are that slim.

there must be a market for a oder killer product in the jap import market..........i'd definatly pay for a top shelf one that did the job if i needed it.

i used Febreeze every now and then in my r33 gtst (sold) to keep it fresh and an excellent odour/bacteria killer. Don't like air fresheners or such as it would leave a lingering smell. Now I got a Magna with leather interiors,but would still used it on the carpets and other fabrics parts.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      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

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      -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.
