just recently pull in for fuel.. older guy after filling up his prado strolls over and says

" how much power she got", to which i replied "about 280hp at the wheels". the bloke then starts, "i was at the summernats a few years ago and there were standard street commodores with 1000hp, is that all that things got??". i was too dumbfounded to reply to that..

My dad told me this story when he was comming back from work. These asian guys where following my dad in a riced up lancer, telling him to pull over. So my dad did. They asked him if they could have a ride because non of them have been in a skyline before. My dad, not the kind of person that would say **** off because they asked nicely. Loaded up the skyline, all seats taken. Set too high Boost. And they all loved it. Not a commodore but just an example that some people arent retarded...

Oh i agree, even some of the peeps who drive commodores drive them for the large 4 door car and happily know they are simply a family car and admit alot of imports are fast. I have a few mates who own em and bag Jap crap but still know when it comes to it they get put in their place :) Even when they drive daddys new v8 lol

    • Yes, while being... strictly unnecessary. Tuning is a bit like quantum physics. You don't need to understand what Schroedinger's equation actually means. You just need to run the computation and accept the answers. With tuning, you just push page up/down until the exhaust tells you that you've got the fuel right. The VE can stay hidden behind the curtain like the Wizard of Oz and you'll never need to know what he looked like.
    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
