Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?
D.I.Y. Mik replied to Got a Pulsar's topic in Australian Capital Territory
Not that im any better....... Crappy photos at night but you get the idea. $25 on ebay, You can use the controller or just hook up the colour you want. Thats what i did, just cut a length, wired up the earth and the green, then plugged it into the boot light socket. I will probably put the rest in the cabin, under the dash and seats, and in the door pockets, all joined together with the controller hooked up to it. -

Another one! Oh Richard....... -
Awww, nice. But look closer, it has old 32 syndrome, a hit in the front has pushed the headlights in a bit at the centre. (Not as bad as mine) GTSTs and such were not pampered and looked after like some GTRs.

Yeah Jeremy, dont go all out yet. Because big power costs a lot to get but..... thats only half of it. You will need other things upgraded to make it useable and safe. What some people do is work out a final goal, and buy things that will work for that goal. You dont have to have it all at once. Brakes, maybe wheels and tyres, clutch, possibly driveshaft, diff centre, better suspension, instruments, etc. Try and write a list of everything and add up the cost, its not cheap. Its almost not worth it when you look at it that way. For example if you get a computer, get one that will accomplish what you want before moving on to a better car. Would you bother spending that much on a gtt or just save for a gtr one day? This can take a while to figure out, and the more you know the easier it is. And, yes, google is the only way you will ever find out enough.

So sunday 03/08/14 is when some of us are going. Just for a casual sunday chat and watch some hillclimbs. I put this thread up so its easier to find. Its easy to miss a cruise or meet if the details are buried pages back in the wasteland or something.

I remember now....... Your paintjob, when i first saw it i thought, "oh wow! i have to paint my car." Because it looks so nice. It shows the black lip looks good, and helped me decide. -

Ever heard of the Narrabundah tyre slasher? He may have been caught a few months ago, im not sure. He was/is slashing tyres randomly in Narrabundah for about 15 years. Plenty of fruit loops in this town. -
Some guy was taking a photo of the 32 in the carpark. Its a nice compliment. Also the auto elec said its unique now and less of a target for thieves. Because its easily recognized. People say it looks great, then i say its a backyard job, so they step closer and have a look, and say its still good for a backyard job. (most people are very nice and dont point out the fk ups) Some people appreciate the fact i gave it a go more than how it turned out. I think thats part of the Aussie psyche; "Have a go mate".

Oh, cams licence expired, cant afford racing at the moment anyway. Still would like to go for a look.

Your Detailing Results - Picture Thread
D.I.Y. Mik replied to iwanta34gtr's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
Just followed the instructions, it should be fine. I thought the same too, but i was wrong. -
Theres always something you didnt think of or notice that needs fixing. I think you should go the cheap option, you can always do more later. One thing i noticed with having the bonnet open at the back, is that fumes come into the cabin. The inlet for cabin air is in the plenum (under the front window) and because its a really bad idea to chop big holes in the firewall, its really the only place you can get fresh air into the cabin. So i realize now, the vented bonnet i have is only good for racing, and i have to close the back of my bonnet, the best place to vent is in the front guards. Like they said, cf isnt good in the sun, just go fibreglass, its not much heavier if at all. Many cf bits are just cf on the surface, fibreglass underneath. Painting mirrors will cost NOTHING at all, i have plenty of black paint, and gold pearl powder if you want to play with that. Save it for the engine or computer. And from my experience with my Nistune, i agree that more isnt better, smoother and more filled out is better. Just remember, speed comes from the power delivered ALL through the rev range you use before changing gear. So a fatter curve is faster than a high peak.
