where do u get a front grill like that? did it come with the badge or did u have to stick one on?

The grill came with the car. My understanding of this grill is that it came with all series 1's. Not 100% sure on that though... thats just what i been told by some ppl.

Now there's a step in the right direction, also car has come a long way mate good to see you kept it and continued to mod it. i think get rid of the wing and put a drift lip on the back, and finish off the rest of the kit.

Thanks man... only got sideskirts, review exterior side mirrors and rear-wing to go :D

Hey John, did you paint the dash?? What paint did you use?? How did you remove that shitty coating that is on the dash originally?

The current coat in the car was done by dan... I brought some stuff from supercheap and did it in dan's garage one night but came out disgusting. Dan brought some other stuff and re-did it for me and turned out to what it looks like today.

There is still a bit more to do with the respraying of the inside... wanna do the arm rest on the doors, etc as well.

John, your grill is a series 1.5 Otherwise known as the 'airbag' model ;)

PS. When are you ditching the shopping trolley wing?

PPS. Nice work :) I've been watching this car since you got it. Many late night trips to Yatala & random photo shoots with dodgy borrowed cameras later, it's looking schmick :D

well, did a engine compression test the other week at shanes and the engine is in perfect condition for its age and the k's that have been clocked up.

still possibly looking at doing a engine rebuild over the next few months though along with a turbo upgrade and highmount manifold.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
