Hi guys

I would like to just quickly say how happy i am with j-spec, i was dealing with Craig and found him to be very helpful! He was always very quick to answers any questions i had which made me feel very comfortable and confident that i was in good hands.

I am really quite pleased with the new car, j-spec always seem to get some of the very nicest cars.

I am going to give it a really good clean tomorrow because its a bit dirty at the moment, then I will post a couple of snaps up.

That being said though, i have had a couple of things that are getting to me. The big one is the HKS pod filter i have on it at the moment.

I know some people really love the sound of them but i have to say it is really giving me the shi*s!! the exhaust it has on it sounds amazing and i dont like how much the filter over powers everything.

If any one is looking to sell a standard air box then send me a message and i will take it off your hands.

Another thing im slightly worried about is how this morning i had my HICAS SLIP and Engine lights all on at the same time.

I pulled into a bus stop and turned the car off and then once i started it again it was all back to normal.

I have seen a couple of posts on the forum before about this but dont think any one had actually come back and said what it turned out to be.

im also having trouble getting the big yellow egg stain off the back of the car :rofl: have some good strong car paint cleaner and if that fails then i guess it will be a cut and polish.

ok well had the lights on all the way up the freeway this morning i pulled over and turned it off but they were still on when i started her back up again. I think the car was trying to wish me a happy birthday lol nothing like your car doing silly things to put you in a good mood.

i was wrong before it was not my HICAS light that wa on it was the TCS OFF light. once i got into the city i turned it off again at a set of lights and that time it did the trick. Going to have to get it on the diagnostic but do any of you have an idea as to what it is?

      I've watched some vids and the technique seems to be to butt the sheets up to one another and use MIG to spot weld and slowly fill in the spots until its eventually all sealed. No runs as you would normally do, as there's too much heat generated that way. Yeah my stick welds are terrible these days because its been so long since i've done any of it. I expect to be spending many hours practicing

      I have personally seen a Tomei USA RB26 cam that didn't even fit the head. Kind of nuts to me that it was even possible for that to happen but such is life.  There's two UP Garages in the US. One is a US branch of the Japanese company which sells things they brought over at tremendous markup. The other is University Place Garage/Fairlady Motors which is a shop best known for putting VCAM in RBs and trying to convince people to stop putting in 800hp of turbo on a 2.5L motor.

      Gasless MIG is not exactly suited to what I would call "delicate" or "attractive" welding. So I would rule it out for sheet metal rust repair type stuff, unless you're only doing it in hidden places. I'm thinking about getting myself a gasless MIG for "hack together" type work. Noting that my welding experience is very very low, and quite a long time ago. So I'm also looking for "simple", but I'm not expecting "excellent". I'm not even sure that proper MIG is the best for sheet metal work. I get the feeling that the degree of control and the minimisation of heat input that you get from TIG is probably what you really want. And then you have to get good at doing it before the welds won't look like a monkey flinging a handful of shit anyway. You're probably SOL for an easy and cheap way to get from where you are to where you want to be. Much like myself.

      Any recommendations for what would be the easiest welding type to start on, for sheet metal rust repairs and maybe some exhaust piping too? Seems like MIG is the most common. Would gasless MIG be ok to learn on and do some simple jobs? I have a stick welder which has a Lift TIG setting, but i'm more interested in getting whatever's easiest to do, and most suitable, rather than using what i have.
