  1. SOLD!!!!!!!!!!! Item: JJR Coil Packs x 6 Age: New Condition: Brand new Price: $300 To Fit: RB25DET s1 Location: Canberra, ACT Contact: Joel mob: 0421725886 Comments: I bought these of the Just Jap website last week, they are the wrong ones for my skyline, i have a series 1.5 (08/95). Since they have been fitted to the car (only to find out they are the wrong ones) i cant send them back. Still have the box and bubble wrap! RRP $399
  2. well i made the guards as a seperate piece, then used pop rivets to secure the guards to the car...scary drilling holes in the body!! i also used a poly-urethane compound to seal the edges in. where the guard meets the car at the top i used a plastic putty which dries really hard and can be sanded to suit!
  3. nope..haha just went all in... the fibreglassing is pretty forgiving as you can simply add more, or sand it off...but its very hard to get it super smooth. the spraying is another story though, the silver colour is really hard to get it looking smooth throughout, porbably should have chosen another colour, but it would have been more work then, doing all the inside of the doors, engine bay etc..
  4. Just a super cheap one, it was on special for $160 it came with a tool kit including all the fittings etc, a few tools as well (like an air gun for wheel studs and what not). The compressor is a 2.5HP/40Litre, i would go bigger though, cos it was on fairly constantly, the only break it had was when i was re-filling the pot!! The spray gun i bought was from bunnings, just a cheap $60 one. it was okay, does the job fine, you just have to fiddle around with the settings a bit to get the right spray coming out...but that half the fun hey...
  5. It took a while, cos i hadnt done anything like it before it was a little experiemental!! All up it probably took me at least 10 weekends worth... The sparying didnt take all that long, its the prep that takes the longest! Matt black would look awesome, if your gonna do it yourself here's some tips i'd recommend: 1. Spray booth, make sure you do it in a double garage, that you can close up completely and have plenty of room to move around. 2. Sanding back, use 280 first round, then 400 to smooth it off. use 600 wet and dry after your first two coats of primer. 3. take your time spraying, watch out for over spray. I'm far from qualified matey, haha! just mucking around at home... All up i saved heaps of cash by doing it myself. total cost including compressor, paint, materials, fibreglass and everthing came in under $1200!
  6. Hey, A few months back i decided to make some wide body guards for my skyline, fix the front bar, and also attempt to re-spray the whole car myself. Finally sprayed the last coat of clear last night, still need to wait a few days and wet-cut the clear before applying some wax to give it that showroom finish. Let me know what you think... The smashed front bar...a mate backed into it with a tow ball My first attempt at fibreglassing... Ta da! ...it only took aout 8000 hours of fibreglassing and sanding... The beginings of the rear guards... The guard off the car... Now to spraying....add one of these : and some of this: And you end up with this...
  7. Hey all, I'm having a bit of trouble with oil pressure at the moment. I get a lot of oil vapour out of the exuast side crank case cover. that vapour normally returns back through the air intake, but i then blow heaps of smoke out the back. setup a catch can but not to sure if the setup is correct. i have a high flowed tubo on it, running 10psi. Is this too much boost or are there multiple setups for a catch can? Could be my pistons rings too..dont know too much about them any info would be greatly appreciated.
