Hey guys!

am after any help i can get! Im located SYDNEY north shore close to CHATSWOOD

Basically have two cars needing touch ups! and are as follows.

My Gunmetal grey R32 Gtr: bought the car with this damage and looking to fix it up.

work to be done:

Front bar lip - want to strip this back completely as its scuffed and chipped etc, and paint it matt black.

above where front number plate cavity is a little gauge of the bar and paint (filled and painted)

Drivers side door sill inside (the previous owner lived on a massive hill area, i figure this is from the driveway, shutting door, weight of the door has chipped paint off, fill and paint.

Rear Driver side mud guard spat (edges joining spat to car has a weird crackled look to the edge, like the paint join is flaking (would like to re join this with a perfect look.

Rear wing, has 5 cent chip out of one corner, also fading of paint along the top of wing surface. (chip filled and top layer painted over).

Basically i want to know roughly what im looking at, is it as easy as what ive mentioned (i dont know much about painting)

I just want my car to be respectable and quite flawless, rest of car paint is flawless just a few imperfections that i listed above, i treat my thing well and want it to look that way.

Second car:

My Gf's Toyota soarer *factory white pearl. (she has hit just about every fking thing she could manage scuffed bumped rubbed she has done it)

-Front bar, complete re paint.

-Rear bar, complete re paint

above petrol cap is a 10cm gash to basically bare metal where she has ran along something,( fill and paint)

She is looking to sell the car its in great condition apart from front and rear bar, she did alot of the scuffing and rubbing when she got it as she isnt a confident driver and its a massive boat of a car, never been hit so all the bumpers are fine just paint is shot.

Would really like any advise anyone can throw my way, where to go?? prices im looking at, is it better to try and find a wrecker with whole front and rear bars for the soarer or just paint em. basically tarting the car up a bit so we can sell it and she can get something smaller.

Thanks guys!

J.

I'd suggest i can do it for u, but im in brissy. Here's a thread where step by step the process is layed out, if u think ur up for it, best of luck. Its not really hard, just a lil tedeous and time consuming. "The touchup guys" and similar can charge rediculous amounts for the smallest of jobs. Any more questions about it, PM me

      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.

      @Dose Pipe Sutututu I read your replies RE: R35 GTR MAFs, any ideal spots to put on? Obviously will need the adapter plate. Will be having a cross over intercooler fitted shortly, would putting it a bit before the TB be okay?
