Yeh I got it from Nisswreck.

I have the money for paint and manual conversion.

Which will hopefully be happening next week.

Any places to go for a manual conversion and a good place to get it sprayed??????????

Marky Mark from ET can get the conversion kit and install it for me for $2385.

Can anyone get me it done for a better price??? If not then im ok with paying mark the said money as I know he wont screw me over.

Anyway cheers for the comments ppl.

Keep them coming. I hope to be the first R32 Sedan in SA with Panda paint job.

Yeh lunaticR32, I no ur car and lindos. See ur car all the time and lindos at the drift comps. I like urs alot and lindos is just freaking awsome. He still hasnt given me the full run down on his car.

New update to my car.

Getting painted at MC Doyles.

Full respray in Panda style.

Hopefully Mike & the boys can make this look mint like all the other cars they work on.

Costing me a bit, But i am glad Mike went through with me what i ahve to get done and what needs to be done to make it looking nice.

The intrusion bars are starting to rust away, they need to be powder coated and the bolts hilding them in are rusting away aswell. So they need to be replaced.

Anywho. Ryan PM Sent. Cheers.

"66 skyline gt". I have gone from a 4 door 1979 Datsun Skyline to a 4 door Nissan R32 skyline. Alot has changed in 10yrs i have to say.

Yes a cruise is needed, as i need to meet some of u guys.

Maxx: Mike said the same thing about the kit, but i would rather paint the car now and once i have enough get the kit and paint it then. Im in no rush to get it looking VIP or drift pig styles.

I am only 18.

Anywho I say Cruise baby Yeh. But not till I get the white mofo painted and converted ot manual. Will be going to Kansai very soon to get prices.

G'Day Brent,

Should look great after you get your paint job done.

Out of curiosity, what are MC Doyles quoting you for your paint job? Are they basically just painting the top half of the car or are they doing the whole car again?

I need some work done on my 33 sedan soon and was wondering whether they were worth approaching. One of the guys there has a nice black 33 sedan from memory.

Cheers,

Mike

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
