  1. Lay off guys. I think there are about 6 Skylines in the country that dont have bent chassis rails. I know mine are banged up from hoists and trolley jacks.

    I have also rounded shit loads of bolts.Stood on motorbike fairings,stolen screwdrivers,broken unobtainable mazda rx3 gt parcel shelves,set fire to cars And dropped a car off jack stands/trolley jack with only 3 wheels on the car (iw was very , very late and we were all very tired)

    He isnt taking on any major works, jacking alloy nuts on a strut bar isnt going to damage the chassis...it may bend/shear a bolt as was the case...

    Start slow and research before you spin spanners and GO FOR IT.

    But as badharidave said, make sure you are jacking the car correctly and using the stands correctly. My old cheap trolley jack used to drop pretty quick and had to always put wheels under the car at a minimum if I had to get under the car at the track and didnt have stands. Wheels damage underside of car so using the stands of the front of the rear cradle, front tow hooks, castor rods, gearbox cross member or engine cross member is the go. It depends what I am working on as to which point i use for stands

    there.....fixed :thumbsup:

  2. motorcycles have extra injectors behind the velocity stacks.....a good friend of mine makes tune box's for them and on a 600cc has seen huge gains in power from totally phasing out the front injectors at high rpm and cranking open the rear ones instead.....motorcycle manufactures have always been at the fore front of extracting huge amounts of power by innovative technology

  3. hi guys cleaning up a bit and i have a bunch of R32 GTR stuff including complete console(no gauges) but has climate control unit,a pillar trims,c pillar trims,kick panels,sill moulds,parcel shelf,roof lining,Nismo 320 dash basically a whole trim minus seats and carpet....NO BALL BUSTERS,NO PICS,NO SEPERATING $500 pick up only 0417563600 troy in melb

    Thanks

  4. ok so finally got a chance to strip the old boy down with the help of roy......very happy with what i found so far.....looks like the front end has never been off before....i must admit i expected quite a bit of cancer especially under the tops of the front guards on the upper rail and in the hinge pillar but looks like i got lucky....the guards themselves are excellent for a 35 year old car....small rust but a pretty easy fix up really some at the bottom of the sill behind the guards on the body,usually the bottom of the screens cop a hiding but this ones quite minimal,also i think the car has been parked nose up on a rise si some water has been sitting in the vent plenum behind the dash so some rust there.....the car is as bare as the day it was born ready to go to restoblast for bead blasting inside outside and underneath.....the nose cone is also in great condition....im very happy,i couldnt have found a more original/better car for this project and its quite amazing considering how nasty the japanese weather is.....most of the cars here in australia are far far worse....work permitting i will be hitting this quite hard after its back from being shot with plastic bead....lets see how many more holes the bead blasting finds....whoop de doo

  6. Just noticed how much the roofline on these looks the same as a mustang but the trailing edge of the window is metal on the ford instead of glass like the mazda.

    Thats one great looking Mazda

    i must agree.....i almost bought one instead of the rx3.....the rx4 has an agro looking front....almost finished assembling the mazdabator today....

  7. by the way this is just the ground coat for the Tbird....i will be doing the hang on panels very soon....then all 7 meters of it will be speed filed and blocked down.....im glad im not doing it!!I will then be painting the true colour which is a light mettalic blue,rocketing some clear over it then be blocking it down and flow coating it

  8. ok.....the guy on the right is my mate johnny from restoblast,he blasted the car inside/outside and underneath.It was put on a rottisere,made new floor pans and hand beat the patterns in them.He also remade the left inner skirt and various other parts for the car......it had quite a big whack in the front at some stage so he also reset the chassis rails on a car-o-liner......the car has been metal filed and he has done a fantastic job...very gifted tradesman indeed
