$4 at car lovers? Man car lovers is DEATH to your paint and the only decent car wash do it yourself ends up costing me $20-30 and that's the self serve that you drive out of at the end and you realise your car isn't clean, its just uniformedly dirty.

I hate car washes. :P

Hmm so what are our numbers looking like- about 6-8 people in 4-5 cars?

Duncan's gone quiet. I hope noone from the main bit of SAU is angry we're having our own thing - I just wanna meet the cefiro brethren for now and I can't make Sunday. My car isn't ready yet to face the liners... when I face the liners I wanna have a gearbox I can shift :D

I just found this little guy ehe ----->> :bananaman

Yeah that's the one I mean ceffo. It's death to your paint and it does the worst job of cleaning.

The DIY detailing tutorial on SAU is the BOMB for cleaning. I'm washing my car with a chamois from now on. I washed it 2 nights ago and it kills it - paint looks so good now.

[ edit: thread- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=47397 ]

Yeah once you buy all the stuff though you're set. I dono I'm gonna just buy more chamois so I don't have to use a sponge. I don't trust the sponge. Chamois is easier to wash with too but you can never get the soap out so that's why I need a few.

After I buy a few chamois I'm just gonna get the after washer but yeah.. i wanna get my car treated so it doesn't need to be washed, just watered like the fully sick cars :D

I will come although I wont be able to get there untill about 12 I would think maybe later. Have to see how I go and I will bring Russ GTR along as hes immobile atm. I think it was ceffo who left his no at the start of this thread so I will message you and see where you guys are.

I just started a turbo swap yesterday and still havnt got a dump pipe or iol supply line made. looks like i will be busy today.

i will still be there with the car running even if the dump pipe is made from gaffer tape...

Nice one CEF11E.

I had my inlet pipe fall off the turbo yesterday and spent all night fixing it. (well a few hours anyway).

Gonna try to change my gearbox oil today (if i can figure out which bolt needs to come out).

Oh and my CAI pipe fell off on the freeway and into my wheel so I'm going to be downstairs in the carpark after work trying to get that out without getting my suit dirty (UGH WHAT A NIGHTMARE). Oh well .. neoprene it is for me

too_much_boost I think was trying to put in his cams last night also.

We'll all get there!! (and funny you should mention the gaffer tape.. my car is held toegether by zip ties).

hehe new turbo on and almost ready.

I drove 2 suburbs away to an exhaust place with no exhaust at all. just the stock dump pipe!

it sounded like a cross between a v8 and a jet engine. every one was looking at me :P

13 is about right. But yeah I ain't got no radio so if anyone wants to bring me an extra should they have one that'd be nice.

breaker.. breaker.. radio check please there is a bogey on the smokey in the hogie logey...

Notes on channel allocations:

1.  Several channels are set aside for special uses.  These are:

Channel 5       Emergency Channel

Channel 11    Call Channel

Channel 40    Road Channel          

2.  Channels 22 and 23 are used for telemetry and remote control purposed.  The ACA advises that voice communications on these channels is prohibited.

3. Repeaters transmit between channels 1-8 and receive between channels 31 and 38.  Avoid these channels for non-repeater (simplex) communications.   Repeaters operating on Channel 5/35 may be used for emergency communication only.  If you are near the station you are talking to, you should move from the repeater to a simplex channel (see note 5) to leave the repeater free for others who cannot communicate direct.  

4. Though Channel 11 is officially the call channel, most people use repeaters for this purpose instead.  Many truck drivers use Channel 40.  

5.  The following channels are suggested for general simplex communication:  9, 10, 12-21, 23-30, 39.  

turbo done.... yea ha! by seat of the pants dyno its running around 200rwkws at 16psi...

feels really good lag is not noticable and it pulls hard all the way to 7k.

why do i always start this shit just before i really want to use the car?

see you guys there :looney:

    • 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.
