haha yeah troy - sadly enough im watching it on purpose i like certain muscials lol

i loooooovvveee the rocky horror picture show :D

oh that brings back memories,,lol

the whole crowd dress up to go to movies for rocky horror in vintage theater

not exactly a musical but Heavy metal, pink floyd the wall to name a few good ones

or in new york, las vegas ,, pretty cool

you can buy anodized colour paints in town now thats what I used last week, they handle pretty hi temps on short durations, rocker covers no problem.

brakes too , not racing , too hot

Thanks, that looks like it'll do the trick with some 'ground coat' first

Luke that HKS dump and front pipe I added links for. If they go for higher than that and postage is too much it'll be cheaper for me to just get an all in one dump/front from AM Performance like I had already planned on doing. Came across these by accident looking for a GTR grille.

yep ground coated mine first, tried the calipers polished shiny but the ground coat made it look better, buy at supercheap for 17 ea

Thanks Troy. Do you have any pics of yours?

took some before shots, tomorrow in the daylight i'll take some aftershots to post up

i deburred the casting marks off mine too. lots smoother now

hmm, true. might paint it.

I just used a spay paint with a clear coat and it came up pretty good and used caliper paint on the brakes, it fades after a few years so i had to paint them again.

if you go that route use VHT Brand, much better then others. they make super high temp clear coat to make them super glossy.

I did my R31 calipers, 7 years ago, still shiny red with polished fins and that was just paint not clearcoat too took a dremel to the fins to shine them up after deburring cast marks on them.

On another note I fking love my new car :D :D

pics or ill have you banned.

Think stock blue silvia with R33/S14 stockies and no wing. thats it, not really worth a pic :D

S13? 5 stud? interesting.

if i ever made up my f**king mind about selling, id buy an s13 or 14 with an rb.

why no love for the SR? dont knock it til you drive one.

More than likely going to buy another daily and use this for 'legitimate track work'

pfft, thats far to logical for you to actually do it.

FKING SO DEVO

There is a pair of 16 x 9 +8 wheels on yahoo atm exactly the same style as the 16 x 9s I've got now for only 8000Y. Damn I wish I wasn't pov :down:

should probably learn to stop buying cars so that you actually have some money eh? :P

If I ever sell up/someone writes it off... hello V35 350GT... would make such a good daily. Doesnt have the look of the typical Skyline so doesnt attract scumbags - blends in with the Camrys and the Commodores lol

blending with commo's is a reason to buy anything now why...?

slow day today. Ruby must be busy at work, same as Krishy, and Dan must be on another work field trip :P and scandy, sleeping?

not quite, work and chatting up the new twins at work. most fun ive had at work. ever.

by the way, anyone wanna buy a muffler? :P

Theres still 5days left on both of them, so i'll check back in a couple of days and see how they are going, with a rough price.

Thanks Luke. Can you read Japanese or do you have a better translator than google?

    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY  
    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
