Thanks peeps for the kind words! The photos don;t do the colour justice as they were taken on a overcast day so not all the colours and pearl showed through!

But i will have it out and about soon enough to see in the flesh!

Damn your very brave! I would never contemplate such a project. To many factors that could possibly go wrong. Outside especially! So hows the final finish? I mean, is it show quality?

Finish is no bad at all considering first attempt ever and was done outside in the elements. Just needs the final cut back of clear coat and a good ole buff!

looks the goods.

door handles need to be sprayed also

Yeah considered that but was in the too hard basket!!!

Tah John and Moanie :unsure:

Yeah i sort of made it sound worse than it is... as said the finish has some belmishes in it but they should come out with the last cut back and buff. Should bring it up to a glassy finish :huh:

Was just about to ask how you managed to contain the mess. But noticed you had tents up with plastic sheeting, go the home booth. Did you use any ventilation when spraying to extract the paint floating in the air or was the tent open at the ends? What gun did you use?

Did you put plastic on the floor aswel?

Also did you put plastic on the insides of the tents? (the metal and fabric parts)

Yeah had plastic down of floor for majority of time, but was gravel anyway so didnt really matter. You dont get that much overspray at all.

No plastic on inside of tents just sides with $1 drop sheets :sorcerer:

Yes had ventilation going thru with holes and drop sheets at rear and half one at front. Once we sprayed pulled front and back up to allow some air through.

looks good mate. I've seen a paint shop in japan that could learn a bit from that effort. the were just painting out the front of their shop on a busy road next to the auction house!

well done for having a go anyway :P

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
