was that a spray can or compressor and spray gun job on the interior dane?

i did mine (all the interior and cage) with a pressure pack (matched to factory code)...

That came up well Stu. Some nice prep work :banana:

Spray can my friend. It all turned out pretty well, bar the rear guards because I was too lazy to get all the glue off... oops :(

Gts30: An hour? Nice one! I bought maybe 4kg's for the rear seats forward, and then did the tranny tunnel with a heat gun, same with the rear guards. Would have been easier without the cage in there, and at my premesis instead of a workshop with limited light/time.

Ben: Do it! Would look tough as nails. Are you putting GT-R guards on?

Fark yeeeeeeah maaaaaaaate *throws can*

That is just about THE s15 as far as im concerned.

Funky, ok maybe 2 hours tops, I had also already done the back wheel arches and where the seat would go with the heat gun. Im painting the cabin and boot the same color as the rest of the car over xmas.

Tough as nails that S15!

I'd love to say i am putting GTR bits on it, but I don't think the rules allow, and its just more expensive when it goes into the scenery. And it already owes too much. Shoulda known, no such thing as a cheap race car.

Just finished putting the cooler on though :( Awesome hey! lolol

yeah, I'm cutting more reo......

update on my engine hopfully be done this week :ph34r: then should be getting new seats and cage put it; if everything goes to plan should hit the track in dec so i can get a time and start tuning up the suspension

Also had the car up on the hoist and found that some sections of the exhaust were very very average on joining/welds; so redoing the exhaust, hopfully net me afew more hp

that is a seriously tuff s15. when i was thinking flat black there is apparently a clear flat that they put on over the top layer of black and it doesn't suffer finger prints etc so no need to repaint all the time. i only wanted to do it this way else it would look crap pretty quick i reackon as flat black dis-colours with uv light.

marlin - you're a reo

Cheers Matt.

Stu: That would be pretty sweet, I dig satin black a lot. I think if I ever had to repaint my whole car I'd do that... or Gulf livery :P But let's hope it doesn't come to that anytime soon

Also, I put someone on to you about some Bmax's from NS.com, so he should be contacting you soon.

Mick: That'll look good mate. I'm glad mine is done though, prepping and painting sucks :)

Ben: Does it do chirpies in second now?

nice. :P is that my old head?

Anyone know any fabricators who would want to make this for me? I had one lined up for the last two months, but it's just fallen through... doesn't need to be exactly the same, just a box with a perspex lid on it for my fuel system.

Dane, you should try ASE in adelaide...

I had my custom catch can done by them, they also make the overflow bottles...

tidy work, i doubt a one off item will be super cheap though...

alternatively, if you made a cardboard template first, almost any fitter and turner/engineering place would be able to make it for you quite cheaply...

eg:

A friend of mine has a cousin that works at the place in that link, they mainly do large scale jobs.

He may be able to do it on the side, as in after hours type of thing.

(although turn around time is usually slow for that type of thing)

I can put you on to him if you want... pm me.

    • 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
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
