ive done some before on previous cars with cans lol actually came up good... i found its best to not pile it on and spray even layers and not let it run... i generally did it out in the sun so it could "bake" so to speak....

or i took some parts to Mal Gilbert Smash repairs i didnt find them too expensive and i was happy with what they did for me...

hmm, good idea about baking.. i painted my interier and that came up nice...

were abouts is mal gilbert?... when sanding this, is it just the same as sanding plastic interier parts, take of the paint and sand with like a 1200 grit till its smooth?.. thanx for the replies to :)

Hey there..

Its not as daunting as you think... and at least with a wing you can rip it off the car easy..

You will have to get the paint in a can ( spray can is fine.. cost a bit more per L but its easier for you) and also get it colour checked with your car..

get some primer ( prob only need 1 can)

Clear coat

Sandpaper ( super fine + fine + slightly coarse ) x 1 each

I can give ya a hand if you want. but it feels better when you do it yourself :)

Sandpaper x 3 pieces

1-2 Cans of Silver ( color coded)

1 Can Clear Cloat

1 Can Primer ( fibreglass)

also some kind of pepsol//grease remover is needed to.

Prob cost you around 100 bucks to get everything... But you would be left with most of a can of primer + clear coat ( for the next time you do some painting :laugh: )

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • 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
