Micolour at 7 Dissik Street in Cheltenham (03) 9555 8011.

Repaired all the numerous dints my car collected over its life and did a full respray. I and a number of other people here on the forums would agree that Mick does great work (esp on 32's)

good luck in your choice

cheers Calvin

Hey mate,

ha ha, nahh i've got nothing against P-platers either, because i am one lol

I'm not quite sure what he was doing, maybe he got distracted by his passenger or had a spasm in his right foot ha ha.... meh, what happened is done so there wasn't much point getting angry at the poor guy :), plus he is being really nice about the whole situation so i don't hold any grudges

lol, fair enough. Yeah i have a friend like that too, so far she has written off two cars, the second crash she was luckey to get out ;)

Speaking of your licence, i read ya thread, tough break. I've been in the same situation too, just be careful and you you'll be fine :)

Thanks for the kind words,

Sean'O

Gday all,

For those who are still interested in my little saga, I've got some great news!!! I picked up the 32 from B.Lacey's this morning and happy to report its in great nick! :P

The quote was originally $500, but when I dropped the car in about 4 days later on the computer screen i noticed that it jumped to $770.....ahh well, just as well i wasn't paying for it eh :sorcerer:

Anyway, now for the fun stuff......

Here are a few pics maybe a day or two after the accident, please forgive the dirtiness, just wasn't in the mood for cleaning it ha ha

Damage1.jpg

Damage2.jpg

Damage3.jpg

And here are the pics from this morning, i guess the pictures speak for themselves, i am extremely happy with how it turned out, and they even fixed up that nasty scratch above the wheel arch at the same time (i think this scratch happened while it was coming into the country)

They also had also cleaned the inside of the car and provided me with some touch up paint which was nice of them.

Anywayz, just wanted to say a huge thank you for everyones suggestions & advice, it means a lot!! :)

Best regards,

Sean

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..

      You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.

      Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
