My car is for driving.

Hmmm, my car is for image & street performance...The locked diff is good for straight line acceleration & a bit of drift fun. As long as I can beat any stock holden & ford I'm happy. The 297 kw Maloo ute has been the closest runner.

Hmmm

Why did i build mine ???? Probably because i cant help myself what ever i get i gotta fiddle, car .bike .boat, truck, they all gotta look good and go well , now i gotta start on my sons cars (another R32 and 180SX ) I think giving up smoking would be easier than to stop playing with a mans toys we gotta have em

EVERYTHING!!! :)  want to be able to achieve some reasonable times at both drag and on the track... am also looking at doing abit of drift as well, somewhere along the way :) 

And all this with a daily driver :)

This person here is the reason for my pfc, fuel pump, fpr, and cat upgrade....

I blame mona.

Everyone, blame mona.

lol :)

Just thought it would be interesting to see what everyone is building/built their car for and what their goals are for it

So....you asked the question but havent answered it......why did you build your car?

I heard it was to get the straightest AFR dyno graph on SAU?

I'd like to do well enough with drag racing that I get enough sponsorship that it can pay for itself, like my fuel, tyres, entry etc all is taken care of though this is a long term plan it gives me something to work towards :)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • 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
