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.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
