Hey guys,

I am looking for someone to spray a car. Its a VK shell that i need done. Not after anything flash. Just two pack. So backyard stuff is fine by me. Car is prepped (sorta) but i want the door jams done too (it still has the original colour. Bay needs to get done but that should be easy cos there is nothing in it. Let me know if you guys can do it or know someone that can. Thanks

Glenn

Dave at Gal Smash would be able to help you out in Tullamarine if ur willing to drive out there or that is your side of town... He does awesome work and fixed my car up a treat.. 93303137 tell him u know matt in the Yellow 33.. He'll look after you. As Mook1 said after all the mucking around a backyard job isn’t really worth it plus you run risks of dust etc in the pain which you dont want...

i could do it...! but you know once you buy all the paint and stuff and f**k around for half a day its worth getting a pro to do it.. paint alone will b over a grand.

$1000 for paint, no way, unless youre buying glasruit, you could get everything you need from protek for less than $500

what crack have you been smoking..?

you need like 5lt to do a whole car. so you recon you can get 5lt of paint all the thiners and hardener you need, safety gear so you don't end up in hospital. for 500.. i got all this stuff for my front bar and it cost like 200 and i got 1lt... so 200 x 5lt = $1000.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
