hey guys

total psyche out on the thread title - but we do have some news to announce

for all that have dealt with us previously, will know that the one thing we have needed for a long time is a new larger workshop

the time has finally come, and we are in the process of moving into our new workshop at the moment

it is only about 5 minutes from where we are at the moment

new address is

unit 2 14 Boothby St, KEDRON QLD 4034

access is via boothby street off gympie road (where motezumas mexican restaurant is for those who know gympie road) and there is also access off gympie road, however there are some nasty speed bumps for our beloved lowered imports

we should be in and full operational again within a fortnight or so - we are still doing minor jobs and msot of the common stuff - engine conversions and rebuilds etc are all being put on hold until we are fully there

we are still down here at aspley also for the meantime, but will be 100% out of here by the end of the month 1st of next month

please forgive us for any panic and mayhem and miscommunications created whilst the move is happening - i will be trying to my best to stay in touch with the phones and handling the managerial side of things during the move

we will also be having a nice big dyno day opening etc ect etc shortly once everything is settled in

emails remain the same aswell as SAU access

we will be getting new phone numbers etc and i will post them up once received - however our current number will be automatically redirected for 12 months to try save some confusion

thats about it for now guys, keep posted for the grand opening and look forward to seeing all you guys there in the near future :w00t::D:D:D

josh not everyone had lexus's with insane suspension like yours

yea the new palce has about 12-15 deidcated car parks for ourselves and plenty more if we wanna get cheeky :P

it was no secret the old place wasnt ideal - we started there thinking it would be a good place to get up and running for the first year or so but found that we outgrew the place in about 6-7 months

company cars are being sold off for some bigger and better projects :spank: as a workshop gotta stay fresh in this game to keep people going WOW!! and the 34 is for sale on here somewhere (or was but mods kept deleting it because we are a business even though the sale is a private sale for the owner)... it does have to go ASAP but no bites as yet

recently put out 400hp on minimal boost too :P:O:O

Haha it's true :P

I'll be down in Brisbane Friday I think, I'll pop in if I can get the Porsche up the drive. If you see a black 911 stuck, well you know who it is :P

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
