Hey everyone,

I would like 2 bring up the idea of Goods and services exchange for us Skylines Australia members.

For example, if we could create a register of who we are, what skills we could use to help others here ( eg: parts access, audio installation, mechanical repairs etc)

Once this is known, we could contact each other for mutual help with our skylines ( trading goods and services, cash etc depending on whats required)

A practical example of this: I need help with audio installation for my car.........Someone helps me and in return i compensate them with parts, cash or help with their car

Does this sound like a good idea?

What do you think?

I'm not good for anything, but I just thought I'd show my support for this thread. Great Idea ! If we could get it maybe in a more formal way that would be good also, maybe it's own section on the SAU website ?

Nick, detailer ? I'll be in touch ! Do you do a good cut & polish ? What about engine bay detailing ?

That is my 200..... you can probably tell from the finish on that ;)

My dad is a classic car restorer so i inherited that detailing talent i guess..

happy to give you a hand with polishing (your car :lol: )

God that will teach me not to scan read ... I read that last line as "I'll be happy to give you a hand job" ... Now where were we ;)

Nice finish. My car since ariving has only been washed once, and due to Sydney air it gets dirty just sitting in the garage. It has quite alot of fine scratches and a few more prominent due to what seems to be the previous owners cleaning attempts (large swirls). I'd love to bring it up to look like your car but wouldn't even know where to start.

How much would you want for a full wash, cut/polish, wash and wax ? Do you also know much about detailing engine bays eg Plumbing ?

Jimbo,

IM sure we can work something out mate... maybe a case or beer or something...

Prank: i reckon we organise a day to work on cars like u ocne did with mysfit where a group gets together at a location like some sort of big garage and everyone helps everyone else...

Jimbo: you need to wash your car first using meguiars gold class wash, chamois it completely dry then polish the car (I use auto glym super resin polish ) applying with a small piece of towling or smooth cloth in a circular motion focusing on the marks and scratches.... do the whole car (will take ages) then buff it all off....next step get some meguiars yellow wax and some yellow round applicators and rub wax into the paint again in a circular fashion.... use a bit of force to..... once complete and the wax is drying, use one clean cloth and half buff it off.... then use another fresh cloth for a final shine and removal of any left over residue.

bobs ur uncle...

Case sounds good to me :P and definately a maintanance day sounds like a good fun idea. Maybe combined with a BBQ ... nice little social for everyone.

than me :uh-huh:

shucks.......now I'm blushing

I'm not particularly great, I'm probably no better than the next guy. But I've had a bit of practice on a few cars & wouldn't mind helping out.......

ATM I currently need help with my front suspension and Audio installation of Amp/Speakers and Subs, installation of cams and injectors.

In return I can offer cash, Japanese translations, or access to s/h parts for Skyline...180sx and R32 GTR from an importer at mates rates:cool:

So If U can help out give us a PM or reply here

Thanks

Akira

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
