My uncle runs a farm/vineyard in the yarra valley where we often go for a weekend away...

this week theyre filming a portion of Charlottes Web there... for 30 seconds of film it takes 1 week to shoot :D something like 120 people... 4 semi trailors and a lot of vans.

theyre bringing magpies and sheep (their farm is a cattle farm as well as a vineyard) to use in the shots which will only be for 30 seconds of film time :D

they have to cut some branches down (well get my uncle to) to get the trailors in and they said that for every branch he has to cut for them to get through theywill give him a slab ;)

There will also be a 24 hour food caravan open to everyone to eat so if he gets hungry they said to come up and have a feed.

None of the stars will be there or anything cause its mainly a scenery shoot as well as a "chase scene" and the lead up to the farm down the driveway which will look pretty much.... like this

lol yeah not just finger food either... full catering staff

Yuck Fou. Oh ni you know you got a mention in Speed mag "Not to be outdone, D1NZ driver Jarius Whareau drove the RB26-powered Cefiro of Nikora Terrill with some aplomb." Mr lar de dar. To bad you havent got it any more would make a good shot in a scene like that. The only thing you'll be shooting though is the sau guys trying to get onto the set for some of that free food and BEER!. :usuck: :headshot:

lol yeah wont post up the location for obvious reasons... yeah i have that speed mag :P i was going to take the car there for a shoot but its too far away to drive with no rego.

when i get another car i'll organise a cruise up there... but hen the actuall hotel and stuff are built and they have wine tasting on... its awesome up there... love going out there and staying over (even when i get put thru a barbed wire fence on a motorbike.)

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