So are you a panel beater/painter? or just do that as a bit of a hobby sorta thing.

I would just say a hobby, my dad is a painter. and i spose watching him all the time made me like doing it as an on the side thing..

the left hand side rear was hit by a post lol and made a fair bit of damage, so i fixed that for him and did the dash as well.. It doesnt seem to look as good in the pics, but all the parts inside the car have around 7 layers of 2pac clear over it.

I only did it that many times cause that sort of stuff cops a bit of a belting and i have see cars with stuff painted and half of it chiping off.. cant have that now..

pity your in bundy lol

Im gonna start to sand back mine in the next month or so and re-paint it. Paint job is shocking on it so yeh, and fix a few of the dings up. So don't be surprised if you get a few PM's from me lol

:lol: thats ok mate.. PM away, ill help ya any way i can. The only problem i had with the dash was the person who painted it b4... lol some bronze crap colour, It all had to come off. And because anything inside the car has more than likely soaked up shit loads of armoral and many other paint hating chemicals!

use alot of prepsole b4 sanding and aftersanding.

Or you will have fish eyes and paint frying up b4 your eyes,lol

And use some type of plastic primer as well to help the paint stick.

But yeah mate, any problems give me a yell.

Another modified plenium i see there.....

I do wonder if these are any good???

I mean Greddy would have spent millions on R&D of their pleniums... But how much better do u reckon they are???

I mean i just want to cut down on intercooler piping and the crossover pipe cops heaps of heat before i finally get to the plenium....

Ummmm wonder???

I think predator did this conversion also... I may just ask him... LOL

Yeah it was picked up from the coast about a year ago! last easter i think...

Im sure he said that it did have a lot more mods done to it, but when he got it alot of it was put back to stock. But yeah, im not too sure on the full story.

LOL yeah i pulled the TT apart and i painted it to blend into the whole Orange thing..

yeah they are like sandpaper to start with, but to get the best finish i gave it a hard sand to remove the old paint and also to remove the pumpy surface.. Then used some sprey putty to get it dead smooth.

Its a damm nice ride, pleasure to work on :)

I have also heard the g'reedy ones losing power... Cars are funny things.

Anyway, looks heaps nice, other than yeah wheels. I dont like chrome, but I think they would suit this. That or something darker.

      R35 GT-R production ends after 18 years

      By Rezz · Posted

      Order for the 2025 model R35 GT-R were accepted from 3rd March and 26th August the last order rolled off the production line at the Tochigi plant. Concerning the R35 GT-R replacement, current Nissan CEO Ivan Espinosa said "Nothing has been decided about the GT-R at this time, but we are well aware that everyone is waiting. The GT-R will evolve and reappear in the future. Please be patient until that day comes." Nissan has a lot of issues with management and finances so take Espinosa's words with a big grain of salt. From what discussions I've had and read about here in Japan, not a lot of people are confident about Nissan's future, let alone the next GT-R.

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By MBS206 · Posted

      21 is explicitly the coils detected as the issue. Is it guaranteed the actual issue? No. Just the ECU thinks it is. When you say rattling, describe it better, get an audio clip as best you can if possible.

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      Yea got me coppers. Bad news is I just put them in and the car still has the light and shakes. I also noticed I hear like rattling coming from the exhaust piping right under me. Does 21 also have a possibility of being O2 sensors?   So, coil packs are good, the harness is good, the MAF is working, and obviously the spark plugs just replaced and working.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Make sure you drop the GTT base tune back in, and set your injectors again, this will remove anything playing up with it you may have removed. Possibly lean there as it's normally a fast transient going THROUGH atmospheric pressure, and a turbo motor would then quickly go richer as boost builds. The only worry you MIGHT have is ignition timing, as the DE is higher compression than the DET from memory. But again, you're not in boost, so the DE motor will be a lot more forgiving at atmospheric.   Get Murray, Kinkstahs, and Johnny's input on tuning haltechs, those guys have played with tuning enough in the past to be able to help now you're past the trouble shooting stage of the MAP issue
