also say i bought a car with no paint, how much time/cash would it take to do a matt black/cheap sh*t paint job on it??? apparently all the panels are good to go just need to get busy with the spray

supercheap auto $40 for 10 export matte black paint + 2 rolls of masking tape shall do the job...

all the talk of buying and selling houses etc....our first house we got because my missus' mum passed (rip)....pokey little house on a 1/4 acre block in o'sullivan beach....had a shed and a massive back yard.in hindsight it wouldve been nice to keep the place and just extend the house etc etc...but we were still kids basically and wanted a new house. We had no idea about the market and what to do to get more money for the house, ended up selling the house for $54,950 back 11.5 years ago. bought our next house up in woodcroft for $105k, nice sized house but small yards and no access to the back yard from the front....so we didnt stay there really long at all...we ended up buying a house around 500 meters away. This one has the 2nd biggest block on the street, with heaps of room for the kids and the dog to go apeshit, and enough room for me to have a shed..eventually....

Dan how little are you willing to spend how crap a job do you care that its is

hmmz 400 to 1k i was thinking, whatever stops the metal from rusting. going to check out and old zed going cheap with no paint. was thinking of doing a deathrace/madmax look with it :D

im getting regular abuse and sick of arriving to work in business outfits that have been rained on from a leaky dato :P

nah we don't want someone of Dan's calibre driving the finer automobile do we :D

Anyone else on facebook play that fking 'bloodlines' vampire game? Shit is bloody addictive, join my clan if you're on there - I need more ppl :P

afternoon gents :D

All week ive been busy fitting a new bar to the 180-r32

brought the bumper from viva, prtty decent fit!! apart for a few pin prick marks here and there it came up damn good!

Although, i had to mod the reobar, fixed a few dodgy parts etcetc..

also Londsdale paints got the paint wrong, they have me a Toyota colour which uses the same paint code, BUT I traded over the paint for the 'right' colour, and turned out complete wrong! and the Toyota colour looked more correct! Talk about an OMEN

Anyways photos!

    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
