Morning everyone. I'm a cranky farker today (lack of sleep) and been thinking about this whole car situation......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Angry Ants. Lol! calling up the workshop today?

Oh my,

Those plates are magnificent,

Now i just need $3300 as they are available.

You can lay-buy plates with a $100 deposit. Might be advisable so that you don't have to worry about someone taking them.

Morning!

Car towed to the workshop this morning. Gearbox getting replaced. Hell yes, can't wait !!!

Smashed box? Which shop and what happened?

Tired and cranky. Had to wash a hire car at 2am because a truck hit a roo which splashed blood everywhere and the stupid dismembered thibg cracked the windscreen!

What's the insurance like with that?

#@RusH_ please make me one of these in metallic white :yes:

Looks like the Nissan font, which i have.

Metallic white i don't have, can do normal or reflective white.

Yer u may be getting pulled over for more than just defects lol.

Also while I have you here what's ur opinion on plastidip/spray vinyl?

If i hear you refer to it as a 'spray vinyl' again i may have to dismember you, wrap you in real vinyl and drop you in a lake...

Answer your question?

lol, Plasti dip and the likes are good for not much, for badges and other small things you can't really wrap.

It isn't really even comparable to a wrap as the finish is no where near that of a wrap and it's colour range is rubbish.

Add to that i've heard that over about a year or so it starts to destroy clear coat (apparently this has occured in the US in the hotter states) :blink:

What i've come to find is that those people who compare the price of a wrap to the price of a plasti dip are the ones who aren't willing to fork out for a quality wrap and may as well stick with the dipping.

Don't get me wrong, i'd probably use it for a few badges or the likes if i actually had any...but other than that, not intersted in the stuff. I think it's more of a phase type thing that will be something of a cheap option and may hang around in the background of the car modification scene.

1. Reflective white could be cool, any examples of this?

2. Ok plasti dip gives Steve man rags lol. But yer fair enough I imagined that would be close to what your opinion would be of it. I haven't seen it in person so I can't comment.

I'm drafting a bulldog of an email first, because if I call him right now I think I may say something I will regret.

I will call him when I calm dafaq DOWN!

Plus I'm currently doing an objection letter on behalf of a client so don't have much time.

Hey Antz,

Just read your build thread, I think you really need to consider going to a crank trigger set up too. Thats a lot of engine to entrust to potentially dodgy CAS signals! So maybe the delay is good, because it will give you a chance to sort it out before it all goes back together!

quickly give me the low down on this crank trigger setup mate - as I'm no expert.

Rather not say the shop security reasons pm me if you wanted to know.

As for what happened.. long story short... Reverse clutch packs gone due to driveway far to steep.... so now have to keep the car elsewhere which is a bit of a pain :(

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
