hey all to start things off i'm talking about this piece specifically http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/417831-r34-skyline-front-grill-brand-new-125/ So mine looks like it was RED before, and someone has painted over it in black. I know it was red because bits are coming off and it shows through, and also the black is kind of lumpy so i reckon it was a real dodgy job of painting (how hard can it be to do this properly?) anyway: I'd like to know whether it's safe to use acetone etc/paint stripper to remove the layer(s) of paint on this grill, and then I can spray it again using _____ (suggestions? I was thinking tamiya spray paint for RC car shells, since those are plastic and they have a nice range of colours). My concern is that since the grill is plastic I don't want to destroy/melt it with the stripping process. pointers would be nice, cheers

uh you do realise that it's right above you....?

^a few grams lighter will be a few more AwKw added, right?

there's this kid at the gym, looks about 15, could give you a run for your money - shirtless, Troy

same white stag seen at turra station.....new owner or daily out of action?

hahaha hi Duncan, thanks for the wave =) another white stag spotted this morning at TURRAMURRA STATION. hands up? looks niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.

where are the pics!?!?!?!?

grey 33 GTR with black carbon hood, chatswood westfield parking lot? might have been a 34R though wasn't really paying attention

You should probably post in your respective state thread as well. Apart from that, good luck.

white C34 with gold/bronze rims weaving in and out of traffic, from the M4 all the way up to ryde this afternoon. in my black 34, no love shown =(

interested in head unit actually. swaps + cash your way for a headunit...........??? mine is the pioneer DEH7350BT, has no remote, no manual. blue LED colour, cannot change. reason i want to swap is cos i'm going for a red colour scheme interior and this unit's lights are blue.

last night saw heaps of lines in the CBD, sydney. one black one 25GT, with green p plates sounded so weak (or...harsher word is gutless) (no offence) silver 33... black 33 with mesh wheels probably one or two more can't remember now - not a single wave though.

I know price normally goes DOWN but I'd like to bump it up to starting at 1500$ for the set. Reason is, thought about it, 1000$ for SSRs...bargain but I do kind of need the money so would like to get what i can of course, am negotiable. As mentioned before, pics should be seen first =) GHO5T - they hold pressure fine. there is vibration at 100+ km/h BUT i cannot verify it is due to the wheels themselves, as I have not had an alignment yet as well as the fact i have a few suspension issues right now, so not sure if vibration because of rims. keeping in mind i've only had the car for roughly a month, previous owner didn't take much care of it.

hi guys, got myself a new set of rims so i can do away with these. they came on the car when i bought it. last owner said that they were on the car from japan. what im selling: set of 4 SSR professor SP1 rims - 17" x 8.5(f) and 9.5® +35 offset in chrome. the rears are +35 offset for sure, as i can see the sticker but I haven't taken the fronts off to check yet. as they are now, the fronts sit FLUSH in line with the guards, not rolled to my knowledge. also on the rims are a set of 4 very good condition nankang NS-II tyres. you know tyres then you know their 'quality'. I didn't put them on, previous owner did. HOWEVER: biggest catch here, and be warned, is that 2 of the rims have buckles and 3 have 'bad' rashes (enough to say, rip of threads of a cloth if you tried to wipe the rims) and one has what i'd call minor rash. Would have kept this set to store away and eventually work on, but, i have all the wheels that i'll need for the foreseeable future right now. so they will go - if someone will take them. Looking for 1000$ ONO for rims+tyres. They ARE SSR professors, after all. But talk to me with an offer, I'll listen. Picture is how they look on my car as of now. If you're genuinely interested then PM me your email and I can send you detailed pics of the condition of the rims themselves. As I said before, the TYRES are near-new (only a few months old, and no hard driving has been done) and the rims are in worse-for-wear condition.

hi guys, got a pair of Kumho KU31, specs: 205/45/R17 (fairly sure...will check when home and will edit if different) bought a set of rims, these came on the front two rims and are brand new. literally - as far as i can tell, the tread indicators are not even worn a bit. Will take pics when I get home, PM or post here your email/mobile for pics. Selling for $250 the pair. negotiable, considering that they're currently on the other rims and will need to get them removed (dunno how much that costs..) located in Sydney, Hornsby area.

haha yeah yeah i'm in no rush, joining cos Terry said to join before the detailing night....

I just sent my form in the mail today so hopefully arrives some time in the next week.

huh. my r34 GTT 1999 coupe has 5 seatbelts. sure, i'm the second owner in australia but to my knowledge that middle seatbelt in the back is factory......... maybe i should check when i get home today

ahahha the debate in the comments section about the 360 turns was hilarious

yep that is correct, as the GTRs are different to the GTSTs so GTR = GTT but fronts will sit weirdly. unfortunate, since otherwise i'd grab these off the OP ASAP
