anyone ELSE recommend any products to use to make my car shimmer?

:)

I recommend FW1 racing formula. Does your windows, rims, body work and engine bay, and anything else you may want to wax... :) Seriously good stuff i tell you.

Hey guys, here's an updated list for you for our position at the show.

Due to smaller expected turn outs for clubs they have moved us to a bigger position (42) We are also known as Skylines Australia, not the Japan/Australian Extras. See attached, hope you're all looking forward to it! :) Oh have also made a banner as I said I would, not sure where it will go/hang could drape it over my bonnet lol!

Perhaps get a couple of long pieces of timber/dowel/steel pipe tied into each end and jam them into the ground near the front of our area?

Also, relating to the 'Marshalling', is there events cars are entered into for prizes or something, or is this just the term given to directing and parking your car?

Terminal and I will be at the show at 8am, to see if we can stake down our area so to speak. As long as everyone else turns up before 9am, should be fine. Probably a good idea to cruise from the museum to the show. Take some pics too :)

So is this the final list?

I think it's safe to assume Leech will not be attended due to his previous comment of being in NZ.

Only me and one other person with a R31 will turn up. Apparently, it's too early in the morning to go for a drive.

I will have to confirm later tonight as the car is still in at the workshop getting new injectors and a tune. There may be a possiblilty that I may not get her back til next week. ;)

Cheers,

Sorry guys, you'll have to count my gtr out(the reason is outlined below) :)

I was really looking forward to this, I will however come along and take some photos though.

I have been right royally screwed over by an un-named fuel injector supplier!

Basically(or not so basic),

I ordered some new injectors. I thought they were the wrong ones when I got them, so I rang the supplier and quoted the part number they had sent and quoted the part number i thought they should have sent

The problem was that the right part number was on the invoice but the wrong part was sent(I did not have the invoice), but the really infuriating thing was that I had actually quoted the part they had sent but instead of listening to me in the first instance, the supplier got defensive straight away and they black and blue(quite rudely too) that they were right.

So...... I went ahead and cut the plugs and fittings(as per instructions from supplier, I rang about that too) off the old ones, dropped the new injectors in and took the car to the workshop(Tuesday) to get tuned.

Got a call from the workshop and they agreed with me that they thought that the injectors were wrong too. After bouncing many calls between the workshop and the supplier, the supplier finally admitted that they had sent the wrong injectors. They wanted me to send back the first lot before sending out the right ones, but after giving some CC details they sent out the right ones which the good lads at the workshop fitted up for me today, I thought all was good til I found out that the supplier hadn't sent out the fittings or plugs for the new proper injectors!!!

So......my baby is still sitting at the workshop with new injectors(the right ones) bolted in but with no way of running the car til the supplier sends the fittings.

Oh, and to add insult to injury they were going to try and charge me for the new fittings@!@!

BTW a huge thanks goes out to the boys at Trojan, they have shown great patience this week.

End of rant....

Cheers from a not so happy Brad.

Yay, I'll be coming with Sumanator(James) in his R31.

    • Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?
    • Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
    • I have seen enough fire and brimstone from TSBs about roloc disks causing spun bearings that foreign object contamination is top of mind for me. For sufficiently large particles you might be right but usually it’s a distribution of debris and some of the larger particles can also break down and shed bits. If local shops report RTV contamination in a turbo is enough to wreck them I’m taking zero chances if I can help it.
