I'm a "computer wiz" and take photos in my spare time.

My father in law engineers/machines all kinds of engine race parts - if anyone ever needs something custom done just send us the specs. My brother in law is a mechanic and my brother and cousin are automotive engineers.

One day I'll get around to starting a race team...

Well first i thought it meant Rotary Hemi Electronic injection Twin Turbo

Then i realised it is just my first name wih Xs each side, like straight edge hardcore guys used to do back in the day. Hardcore as in <span id="MUSIC" class=xxxxkeyword onmouseover="onmo(this);" onmouseout="inMenu=false;hide(this);">music</span>.

Ive been working for the last 2 years doing autocad and Proengineer.  I can also use SolidEdge pretty well and work is soon changing over to Unigraphics, so ill soon have that down pretty well soon.

I can also use Fluent for performaing computational fluid dynamics problems and use Nastran/Femap for finite element analysis. Hows that sound?

Putting all that theory in uni in actual use in the work place is the secret. :lol:

have it already half full, and you've got yourself a deal

but you better get me maximum refund

$40 and you have a deal. PM me if you are still interested. Anybody else want any accounting work done for cheap $$$? Financial statements if you own a business? If anyone is interested, send me a PM and I will get back to you.

lol, well ill PM you at the end of the next financial year i guess!

Skybee, you should pick up where Auto-rust... sorry Autotrust :D left off, Danny used to do a fair few electical problem solving on SAU member cars. He's packed up shop these days though, and we constantly get guys who've just imported cars in VIC who want alarms fitted n stuff.

I'm a photographer.

Mainly shoot fashion/glamour style stuff ..... but dabble in a bit of product & sports photography at times (yeah to Comm Games coming up!! :D ).

And no guys, l don't need an assistant!! :lol:

I agree, someone should create a directory, so we can have our own mini SAU Vic trades and services directory. That way, we can all use each others services - giving us all more money to spend on our cars :D

There used to be a thread that had what everybody did for a job in it. inark started it late last year i think.

heh ..who is my daddy and what does he do?

I'm yet another network & desktop support person who swings spanners (or tries to) in his spare time :P

I learnt to juggle at work the other day too :) though not very well...

i need someone to fix my auto elec problems. the car never starts instantly on cold start. its only when its cold it doesnt start straight away. if turn key to crank it just tries and tries and tries and tries and eventually works if i just hold the key to on for long enough. once warm no problem at all. powerfc doesnt appear to be the cause, had starting issues with stock ecu. have gtr33 pump, fuel filter replaced, tming belt etc all the stuff, plugs, 130k on the clock r33 series 2. anyone keen?

will pay cash as im over it not starting

EY, i work for John Blair motor sales, Honda/Alfa romeo dealership corner of chaple and high street, in the parts department so anyone who wants any honda or alfa parts pm me ill get you my staff discount its really good on genuine parts, non-gen probably not that much better than what most other people here can get

unarmed_skyline, so you'd know how to use Honda EPC (electronics parts catalogue) wouldn't ya? I can't seem to navigate around it, is there a cheat sheet of some sort?

hey paul,

got the same thing with mine too at the moment, but only started happening after i had bosch 040, pfc, avcr installed & tuned.

i've got a remote start that would occasionally take 2 goes to start before the tune, but the key would start it instantly everytime.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
