Hey hey,

I am getting my stuff together for my 100k service and fitting an adjustable cam gear, new belt, water pump, idler etc etc and am not confident doing it myself. However, I would like to learn so I'm after someone on the gold coast who has done this before who would come and do this (my place or theirs - have trolley jack + stands and a few tools) and let me 'sit in' and watch help out as needed.

Of course I will throw some cash your way - the alternative would be spending a couple of hundred and getting a workshop to do it for me.

PM me if you want to help me out.

Cheers

Dane

ok fair enough.. not too many gains with standard sticks though.

i would rather spend the money on a boost gauge lol. u need to install that.. :)

normally i would offer to help do the 100k service.. but too much stuff on and the harmonic balancer is somewhere else..

ahh sweet ones, yeah i got a cheap greddy cam gear a while back and figured i might as well fit it at the same time in 'anticipation' of future upgrades.

that's cool thanks for the tip anyway - you're right i DO need an accurate boost gauge!

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
