Ok looks like it's only me and Mr Ed32, no one else interested in a get together on Sunday? Would be nice to have a few faces there~

Mr Ed32; please PM me your address and a relevant time for Sunday :(

Hey Stan,

I met you last sunday at palm beach :) Let us know what time you are hoping to do this and I might swing by... ;)

Also next time you want to do anything up North let me know as I have a friend with space that we can use and has full tools indoors and under lights!

But yeah I will come down and say hi and might get a photo or two...

its easier to just drive the car onto a plank of wood then onto the ramp, same with jack (if jack is too high)

which suburb are you in?

Links and d00dz; thanks for the awesome day... even though I was a little bit disappointed, not all was lost - inspiration to build up my beast has been gained ;) Looking forward to getting a few more bolt ons, a nice tune, and then whoopin' all ya asses~ :)

Photos from the day are in my blog... just click on the link under my signature.

Mr Ed32. that's all cool... DRFTED_32 and his friend offered to help out and they are in Brookvale so nice and close. Thanks for the offer anyhow, much appreciated!

Latest Update:

Robbie (DRFTED_32) sent me a message late yesterday afternoon and said him and some mates could do the work for me... best thing was it was 5 mins from home :)

1pm, travel down to Brookvale (Performance Golf Carts) :D and had Mitch go through the entire engine bay doing this work. A very big thanks goes to Robbie for organizing it... and to Mitch for putting the place up and actually doing it all!

Looks like I'll be down there a lot with all the other work to be done on the 34.

Both Robbie and Mitch along with all the other guys are part of Tuned for Street. Nice guys, various rides and no attitude :)

At the same time; Mitch and Rob installed the turbo timer that I got off here so that was good... now all I have to do is set that up correctly and the turbo should be happy :)

Let downs for the day:

1) few nuts and bolts randomly disappearing into the engine bay!

2) totally forgot about the oil filter that was in my bag and waiting to be changed!!!

Anyways, this work is done... will post all of it up later on in the blog as well :) Most of this will be repeated but a bit of extra feedback will be left.

Damn, i wish i read this thread sooner, and yeah i know i've had a while to, just been very busy, would of loved to of come, and also for the helping of your car too, i think i see you driving round all the time, funnily enough there's a guy who parks his 33 opposite my house every morning, and another guy owns a blue 32 gtr further dow n the street so there's quite alot in our area! next time im in ;) especially since i'm now defectable free :) :)

Well there'll be another "workshop" day very very soon - same place, same people... so you are most welcome to come along!

I'm assuming you live near me? Now that you mention a White 33 parked outside your house, I think I might even know where you live ;)

PM me your details, we'll hook up sometime for a chat or whatever :)

Hey Stan,

Yeah it was a good day in all! :) Great to see you again and happy you had a good time! You know where we are most sundays now so give me a buzz when ever! :huh:

Also later this week I should be picking up my new motor and turbo so ill let you have a look at that too when it is starting to come together! :)

HA HA HA...

Speak to you soon champ!

Edited by DRFTD_32

Sure thing... just give me a bell - can't wait to take that SAFC2 off you as well; and since you've had experience with it - installation should be a breeze!

Cheers again, looking forward to the next meet up :huh:

Hey Rob, send me an email with all those links yeah?

    • 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.
