Hi guys,

I need to get a tailored or custom car cover for the GTR. I want one preferably cotton or with a flannel inner to protect the new paint from dust and shit whilst it's garaged. Doesn't have to be water proof but it may as well be.

Anyone know of a place in sydney? and any experience with them, or prices?

thanks.

use some of that spray on latex you have in your bedroom

Hahahaha

Richard, i saw one at Supercheap for $25 or so that fits my GTR well, but its not water proof

I know its not ideal, but ive got a heap of fabric ready to stich onto it so the underside is very good for the paint - may look like shit but it will work

I had a look for a cover exactly like you suggested but couldnt get anything that i liked

Hope that helps

I'm using an Autotechnica one from K MART (think it usually goes for about $130). I just use it in the garage but it would be great outside also as it is very thick plastic / pvc and is then lined with some type of material similar to flanellette. Covers the whole car to the ground.

Years age we were looking for a place to buy a cover for the old man's Audi, which only gets used around once or twice a fortnight, we ended up using a few old flanelette fitted bedsheets sewn together, which works a treat. The car is always indoors, so we don't have to worry about wet weather protection anyway.

And now I find out that this place is LITERALLY around the corner from us... Might have to go and check it out.

The same place Richard is talking about? Small world!

I have one of these and I think it's great. Anyone that knows me knows how anal I am about paint and scratches too.

I bought it when I had an integra (so it's the small version, doesn't fit the 'line.. doh!).

It has a soft lining on the inside, is waterproof, and has breather holes with "flaps" to stop the rain from getting in, and stop condensation underneath the cover.

Car covers are a pain though. Do not EVER put a car cover on a car that has a warm engine... anyway, I'm sure bb knows that.

The Autotechnica covers are also available at Repco.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
