no worries for the lend of the power tools guys - I wish I didn't already have plans, I would have stayed to help you. Missed Darren too - what a bummer .... I must have left too early. Ah well next time!

Yeh i think i just missed you too, should have got off ma ass earlier and come around! The whole Barbie and work on car thing sounds like a good idea, will have to pick a nice day and not toooooooo freakin hot either, otherwise it will turn into a drink beer and sit on our ass day......... which i'm not saying is a baaaad idea :(:D

lol .... I am sure that is what the day would turn into anyhow .... maybe pick a 35 degree day, we can start at 9am, mod until 12pm, jump into the spa/drink beer/eat barbie/play darts & pool until 4pm when it cools down a little, then back into some more modding until 7pm, then repeat step 2 :D

My latest pet project (apart from my 'leatherette' seats) is to put some 10mm chipboard on the drivers side 'wall' of the boot (behind the lining) in order to mount a fire extinguisher, some spare fuel, spare water and tools. Not a big job, but would require removing the boot skins, measuring up, cutting the chipboard to shape, securing/deadening the chipboard and restoring the boot lining. It is the sort of job we could do to 6-10 Skylines at once if anyone else was interested.

great in theory but as well all know in practice unexpected sh!t happens and it takes way longer then expected. you know that bolt we tried to get off andrew? well we ended up screwing it up again - thank gosh we later had access to vice grips.

DOH! ... I was going to ask you how it went.

And yes, as we have discovered many times it always takes much longer to do than you think - but once we got a template done it would be dead easy to do more.

So, is anyone up for this project, or have another one in mind? I might just organise a day in a few weeks time - I'm thinking maybe 14th October? (Week after dyno day). I would prefer to do it before I head to Singapore .... but could wait until I got back.

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
