i dont think it would be that hard unless you would rather pay someone else to do it. i painted my calipers myself - piece of cake, and have painted the front of my sil80 myself which sam though was resonable ok - well the one that i though didnt need attention which i was quite happy coming from a spray painter himself.

Be sure to spray the car when it's not cold. :D

 

or. Hire a heater. :rolleyes:

ive already done that mate. hired a heater and compressor.

i successfully sprayed one front panel and front bar but felt that the others were not how i would have liked it to be. thus why im asking someone if i could borrow a compressor for a few days or else i would have to donate that money to kenndards and the likes. plus now i have a gravity feed spray gun whereas i had a siphon one before. would make life easier since i can now spray bodykits at home, yiipeee.

you're welcome to borrow mine Duc - I just had a look at it - it is only a dodgy el cheapo GMC one, but is brand new - I haven't even fired it up yet.

1500W 2Hp

tank capacity 24L

206L/min tank displacement

117l/min free air displacement

0.8MPa max pressure

these numbers mean nothing to me - maybe they do to you?

thanks andrew much appreciated. they dont mean nothing to me either only the cfm matters, ill ask sam if its sufficient. Again, thanks andrew ill take you up on the offer hopefully. btw why havent u used it yet, impluse buy??

hey duc, when u planning on repainting the silvia panels?

hopefully at the end of this week pending weather. Got some installs/maintenance to do as well so yeah. btw andrew has posted up a list of spec on his air compressor, you thinks thats suffiecent sam or do you need to see it to look at cfm - would give us an excuse to see andrew's car also. =D

you in adelaide/murray atm?

24L tank is a bit too small, you would find yourself constantly running out of air pressure. you would really want a minimum of 50L tank and 3.0HP, to keep air pressure consistantly above 3.0 bar. what spec was the last compressor you borrowed?

im back in murray bridge atm, i help my dad out with his hospital appointment.

i honestly cant remember but just know that it was 12 cfm electric compressor. i think it was 3hp. A wells im just gonna have to hire another one i guess since its my last resort. Just bought rego the other day and its begging to be driven =D coming back to adelaide anytime soon?

i'll probably be back in adelaide this weekend.

you headed to mallala this weekend?

i hope the weather is going to be at least not raining this weekend. Thinking bout touching up the paint on saturday and drifts sunday. I might give the rally a miss this year. well, thats my intentions anyways.

im keen on going to mallala, ill let you know. yeah, hopefully the weather will be like last sunday. im heading down to adelaide tomorrow, more carport work to do :( have you sorted the air-compressor out?

i havent had the chance to sort out the compressor as yet. Probarbly go and look at some today @ kennards or usual place i hired it last time from. Having said that, im not sure if im going to get it though because if its raining on the weekend then theirs no point to it.

Has shaun got the block/heads etc back yet so your car can be put together?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
