hey guys just lookn for some anodizers to anodize my rb26 covers. tried yellow pages but very few around. and would like to know if anyone has had any experience and recommend anyone?

Where abouts in Victoria are you?

My company uses "Collins Anodic Treatment" in Station Street, Blackburn, they are pretty good at what they do.

you cant anodize cast properly.....you will need to get them stripped and polished,spray them with an adhesion promoter,dillute some candy dye in 2K clear and spray them...i did mine and they look like this gallery_2711_155_98517.jpg

those pics you have posted look quite simple to replicate.....a gun metal base coat with a couple of coats of matt clear will produce what your after,matt clear makes the colour go milky(for a more durable result on flat or matte finish's we clear them with gloss clear first,then when its gone touch dry 2 light dust coats of matt clear) ....i run a motorcycle paint shop so we are used to using bright candy,flat,satin,mirror chrome,special effect colours.Im driving candy dyes/special effect colours almost every day so after a while you start to get an idea how to end up with almost any finish people want....thanks for the kind words

    • Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.
    • How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.
    • I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.
    • Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi
    • My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
