Update, we should have it back next week, there is still a lot of work to do, all the front end wiring needs to be redone as it was ripped out, wheel alignment, re buff the whole car, apply window tinting, re gas the aircon system.

I don't want to be that guy, but, I was taught that you're not supposed to buff a car for at least 3 months (normally 6) because the paint has to de-gass.

He’s the expert I trust his judgement, also my brother is a painter and said they do it all the time at the shop so it can’t be that bad for it

It depends on how the car is baked, there are baking techniques which allow the gasses to escape faster.

Bloody hell its Hanky, between the Doggo
And the Misso I thought we’d lost ya!

Happy Friday bloke, any plans for the weekend?

 

I heard there was a football match on, might check that out.

What about you?

I'm considering buying a 4WD which might impress you Martin. Trev might also be impressed because it will most likely be a dirty DIESEL.

I sure do! Hopefully in the new year I can tag along on a 4wd trip with you.

Some birds are taking on some cats in Melbourne apparently.

    • SO whats the deal with this issue? I've read a heap of posts from the infinity owners in the US having full engine swaps done under warranty. Most claims are done on earlier cars than 2019 but I'm sure I've come across claims of 2020 models also having this issue. I like the 400r and Q50Red/S but can't fathom dumping close to 50k on a car with terminal issues!!! 
    • The above video is working normally. That is, that's how the right hand indicator should cancel when rotating the wheel left.
    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen.
