Thanks for that Ben, I've been to Blackmans before so I'll give them a buzz. Wasn't entirely happy with the job they did on my door trims, but hopefully they don't flock this one... wait, hopefully they do...wait... :wacko:

Steve: That would be handy for door trims actually, butt for the dash I wouldn't bother, I reckon flocking will be easier.

Tacker: I saw those kits in the states, don't know if I'd trust myself!

Stuart: I've left a message for Blackman's about the dash, so I'll let you know what the cost is. The Alcantara looks the goods mate. Any more update pics? Wanna swap? :wacko:

Steve: I doubt it mate, won't be ready... as usual. I'm still waiting on my plenum... and those Porkas really tempted me... :)

Got to admit those porkas are fkn sexy with the rsr bodywork......would hate to see the price for parts when doing one up though

I think you could tell if I'd done it Steve!

Was done by a local upholstery guy that does some race car trimming work including re-doing suede steering wheels.

Was $100 or $150 from memory for all three pieces which I was pretty happy with as sourcing replacment plastics would have been heaps more.. my ones were all scratched from when I got the car. He also blanked over the heater controls and ashtray to keep it tidy.

Took the front and much of the engine bay crap off it last week.

Trying my new seat that arrived today later tonight along with further distruction... not sure how the seat will go as it has head support wings and its a tight cabin space.

Like the carbon detailing in the boot (in the vents and washer bottle hole)?

Looks the goods mate, and that seems like a really good price for the retrimming. I'd be happy with that!

Steve: After doing Haunted Hills, I think the clubbie has had enough track stuff for the moment. The brakes are on their last legs and I want them to last me to my next service :wacko: And it's just not as fun as in the 180...

I want to get my dash flocked or alcantara...ed too!

I can stuff it up myself for free, but has anyone found a place in Sydney who can do a decent job of it?

Marlin: I've always wandered if those engine damper things did anything... What did it do that makes you love it so much?

hang on a minute. Aren't we talking racing machines here? When did a race car need a suede cluster?

To reduce glare.... I really really really should have thought twice before opting to paint the entire interior bright white :P :P

Those guards look hot.... You're gonna need a little more race tape though :(

lol, i just started painting my interior in silver hammer tone....

If you see them up close they look rubbish, but thanks for the compliment :P Rears are ok but the front left is terrible. pop rivets and bog can fix that though.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
