And we require some assistance like detailing little paint jobs, polishing up some scratches ... etc. Changing oil little stuff like that.

Well you see I'm pretty new at this, however my mate knows a fair bit about car, but this is his first skyline too. So yeah just wondering if anyone out there was interested ... like we drive over to ur place, maybe you give you can assist us with some little stuff make sure we dont fcuk anything up.

i think i'm a senior member cause evryones knows that i'm like 65 y.o and for body works and detailling, there is a place in newfarm that's really good but i have to call my mates for number and addy cause they uses them for porsche, audi, and bmw

whoa! sounds expensive already. I'm working on a budget at the moment. so yeah any well price places recommendations u can definitely swing it my way. Do u know wats a good cleaner for the leather interior - like the dash board etc. (not seats)

They will look after everything or sort it out for you.

Fair pricing - keeping in mind you get what you pay for and they will not 'do the dodgy', take any shortcuts or rip you off.

A good wash, cut, glaze and wax will do wonders for the paint on a car, have you considered putting in some sweat before paying someone else to do it?

yeah ..... well I'm like really really really really new to this. i'm as new as a newbie gets. So yeah lets say for just the right hand door, needa get new trim for door. I would luv to do it myself and save some money, but woudn't have the slightest clue where to start. I've been reading forums up and down, learning heaps but putting it into prac would be much harder. So yeah and I dont really have anyone to guide me :) .... so yeah I pay someone or could fcuk up the car myself.

Retrimming the interior can be tricky, prolly best left to someone who knows what they are doing, but it also depends on what exactly needs to be done...

The exterior would be very diffficult to stuff up yourself (with regard to cut/polish etc). Stick to the fine cut cleaner and then, unless you are a complete toolhead, you wont hurt it.

i am a fully qualified car detailer and some ppl on these forums have seen my car and can vouch for the sort of work i do...... if u guys wanna drive the cars up to toowoomba i can do em for ya lol can do both cars in one day at a guess depending on colour....

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
