Back on topic guys......

Aaron just e-mailed me - The 21st of Feb is not going ahead.

Aaron was just a paid instructor for this day and was pushing to get us in. But the people who run the day said 'no outsiders' :P

Stay tuned - Aaron is trying to work out another day that is convieient.

ah, fark!!!!!! i just managed 2 get that day off work 2......... dammit

why cant he just give us our money back? :P:)

ah well....

(btw, i emailed him twice abt it, and still received no replies....this guy really doesnt no how 2 deal with customers) i spose hes got our cash, so why would he have to anymore?

ah dude, theres nothing u can do abt it guess ill just have 2 party hard on fri nite (so having sat off is worth it and not a waste of a day :P)

ill just have 2 get tha next day off (hopefully tha day is a fri or sat (fingers crosed) so i dont have 2 miss a lab @ uni

at the end of the day, Aaron did give us a bloody good price and it's just unfortunate things have been mucked around. Occasionally that's just the way it goes. as for not answering the emails he's also trying to organise things and probably guessed that all the self-identified SAU guys will hear things through the grapevine anyway, which we have.

Can't argue about not getting top service when you're not paying top dollar, I know Aaron's an awesome aussie bloke trying to make a living doing what he loves. I don't mind, he's got my money and next available opportunity i'm doing the course. plus whatever drift days are organised through him in the future, the last one was great.

  • 2 weeks later...

Please can someone let me know when this day is going ahead by either email, private message or text on mobile. I dont get on the computer enough nowadays to keep up!!! LOL

Plus my car is broken so I have to get it into the shop for fixing, hopefully before Bmans clutch!! LOL

Also, I received a call from aarons office last Saturday in regards to the Driver of the year challenge series with an invite to enter!!! STOKED, so im doing that this year too!! Anyone want to be in my cheer squad??? LMAO Thats if i get my car back on the road!!!

Huh ????

SAU offering free membership ??? :confused:

The deal was that Auto-Motion would pay the renewal fee - but not the establishment fee. So if are not a member you would be up for just the onw time, up front establishment.

If you are already a member , your renewal is paid for....

I must remind Aaron about this - I got a feeling he's forgotten about it.......

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
