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.

    • 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.
