Never had issues with with using a heat gun as long as you give it a decent amount of time to cure. I've used a similar method in the past with a heater and its made the part come out patchy. Definitely follow the instructions and paint in different directions between coats too as this can effect the finish.
As far as curing it goes it sure does stink!
-
Yeah there's a bit of a trick to getting it consistent, there's a post on here somewhere where someone went into detail coating some RB26 covers which is good for some pointers. A heat gun is a must imo.
As for the T3 slotted cant remember exactly how much they cost, my missus works for an auto parts store that stocks them so I got them for half price luckily.

Bit of a picture spam tonight but I also added a HDI inter-cooler while I had the car apart. Cant recommend the kit enough especially for the price, everything bolted and fitted up perfect. I'd recommend changing the rubber joiner in front of the throttle body as seen in my last post, mine was all hard and deteriorated and i'd imagine most others would be in similar condition.

Been a few months since my last post but I got the turbo back in the car a lot easier than I anticipated and have since put a few thousand Ks on it. Definitely has a bit more go on the fast pedal and no more Dyson vacuum noise thank god. Pretty stoked with how the wrinkle coat came out as well as the overall tidy up of the engine bay. Would have been nice to go with Tao's bigger turbo but considering this is just a daily i'm trying to avoid getting to carried away.
Also got the R34 calipers on the car along with some QFM HPX pads and DBA T3 rotors. This is by far the biggest improvement on the car so far considering how woffle the stock brakes are on these things, wouldn't mind swapping out the mastercylinder in the future to make them feel a bit more touchy but for now im very happy with the improvement.

Without out it's counterpart* bloody auto correct.
Anyways, whilst the cars off the road I thought I'd tidy up the engine bay a bit and do some painting, gotta love wrinkle coat
Also got these delivered today and gave them a good scrub, got them for a sweet deal just need pads and rotors. Well they were cheap until i knocked one over on my brand new iphone 7 and smashed the hell out of the screen, thats gonna be costly :(.
Now to decide what colour to paint them..

Now now guys play it nice... I'm gonna stay out of this one, time will be the judge.
Anyway Tao the turbos at your P.o box today I noticed.
Got any front pipes with cats made up yet Scotty? My dump pipes feeling lonely without boys counterpart. -
So this happened on the weekend....
Safe to say that's a job I'd rather not do again any time soon, sent it off to hypergear today and i'm already eager to get it back.

Still in the process of tidying up the car, repainted the grill today as it was done pretty average and had a bunch of chips. Pretty happy with the result now to wait for it to dry.

Lovely.
Having a PNM35, I have occasionally dreamed of having two of those rear mufflers. Don't know if they would fit on the driver side due to spare wheel well though.
Any chance of giving a height, width, depth measurement of the drum (don't worry about the tips) for me?
Two muffler's would look boss, please do it!

Damn that's rough mate, write off for sure!!
I had Troy from iron chef try to source me another clean bayside GTT for around 6 months with very little luck before I called it quits, hopefully you can find another one!
-
datmoo's all over it!
-
Picked up this bad boy over the weekend!
Definitely sounds a lot better, just need one of Scott's front pipes now and the exhaust side of thing is sorted.

Didn't Steve tells you about Scotty Customs? Just another option with hi-flow.
Yeah he did mention something about another bloke doing high flows, is there much difference from the hypergear?

Hey man as far as removing the turbo. Are you chasing more power? If not I would leave it as is. Mine has been making the whine noise for the 3 years I've had it and the 2 years the previous owner had it. It's still going strong with around 130k on the clock. There's guys pushing 200k and still going on factory turbo. If you are after more power, then get it out of there quick smart.
Yep chasing more power
, plus the dyson noise is starting to drive me nuts. Already spoken to hypergear and i'm pretty keen to get it done now its just a matter of finding the time to pull it and send it off.
-
Thanks mate!
Was going to but ended up just taking my time and using a heat gun instead, definitely helps to have another person.
-
Hmm interesting, looks like i'll be leaving the BOV situation for now until I pull the turbo out.
Anyways pulled my headlights apart yesterday and gave them a well needed polish and painted the chrome inserts, have to say i'm pretty happy with the outcome!

Funny you say that, currently blocked off with a Coke can from the previous owner aha.

Nothing like a good bbq, maybe I'll just opt for the kompact.
-
Need a pair of factory M35 hids headlights preferably in Vic unless willing to post.
Cheers,

That's so cool, very tempting [emoji51]

Will definitely be looking into boost controllers soon, in regards to cabin controlled BOVs (GFB deceptor pro in particular) allow you to switch between plumb back, vent to atmosphere or anything in between for full gobble if you wish (don't judge) haha.

Picked up the car and i'm loving it!! Spent a couple hours today starting to make that pearl shine (size of these cars is daunting
) so that's going to consume my spare time this week!
But for now question time!
- Previous owner removed the pop out screen, I've replaced it today and it doesn't function how ever i don't have the nav unit in the glove box which i'm guessing is why it wont function?
- What are people running in the way of cabin controlled BOVs? I'm a fan of the GFB stealth II just unsure of there compatibility on the VQ.
- Exhaust suggestions? I believe the car already had fujitsubo on it previously
