Very nice shade, congrats. I really like the way you have kept the mods clean, as i too hate "fully sic" mods. Where did you get the paint done if you dont mind me asking?

It was done at S&K panels in campbellfield. and was VERY cheap. $1750 and that was using Sikkens paint.

this included repairing 2 major dints and dozens of pin dents. the quality of the paint is fantastic but there were some things i was not happy with,

1. they put my door lock actuator rods in backwards so when the window went up or down it fouled on the rod and went CLUNK...

2. they left the windows of the car down during the whole process and the car was FILTHY inside when i got it back...

3. one of my door trims was marked...

but i the paint is fantastic. just their assembly was a bit rough. cant complain for that price seeming as the paint alone was over $600 and it only took 3 weeks from drop off to pickup.

Thanks for the info and the heads up. That sounds really cheap, even including the incidentals you mentioned ! I might check them out.

      R34 engine swap Rb25de neo to s1 Rb25det

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      THERE IS NO IAT SENSOR ON ANY SINGLE TURBO RB. And the one on an RB26 is not for "engine control" - it's really too big and too slow and is only used for over-temp alarming (as far as I can tell). Anyway, you don't have one. You want/need one for the Link, then you need to buy one, find a spot for it, and wire it in. You do know that the stock boost solenoid is not capable of "control", right? It is merely on or off, for the low boost (5 psi) and high boost (7psi), which the ECU enforces mostly based on gear. The stock solenoid is not for PWM control and is not plumbed up in a way to provide it. If you want to control boost properly, then you need a proper MAC valve. And yes, you can wire either of them direct to the ECU. Well, I assume you can - I don't know what the boost solenoid pins on the plug and play Link are capable of. They really should be as capable as any normal Link - but seeing as it is plg and play, it might be limited to stock functionality. Read the doco.   You really do just want to plug stuff together without understanding how it works, right? I can't help you there. I don't know the plug types or pinning on half the stuff you're asking about. If I had to do it I would sit down with the wiring diagrams, the car/looms and a multimeter and work out what is what.

      Factory oil temp sensor in a RS4V without gauges?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Light should be a pressure switch, not a sensor.

      By Duncan · Posted

      The pressure light likely has a different sender to a pressure gauge, its been too long for me to remember for sure. Just have a look for another sender down near the oil filter. If you are confident in your rewired pressure sender reading correctly, you can be pretty sure it is just the dash light's sender failing, it is a pretty common thing.

      S1 headlights?

      By Duncan · Posted

      That is a series 1 front end (grill, bumper, headlights). I'm not sure if you are trying to confirm if your whole car is series 1 or just the headlights, but the build date and vin# on the plaque in the engine bay would be the best reference for what it was when it left the factory (noting a lot may have changed over the years)
