Heya Guys!

Well for my bday I got a 40cm wide and 60cm high hexagon aquarium, i was wondering if anybody here would be able to make me a stand and hood at a reasonable price? wood or plastic ... i have been quoted some ridiculous prices and have had enough so i thought i would write on here to see if anybody could help me get a good price..... please

Thanks guys!!

Dan, Have you thought about trying it yourself. It wouldnt be that hard at all (heck at school i used to make all sorts of boats, clocks, a big table and cabinet things in woodwork). I'm the sort of person who would rather pay someone, but it can be worth it to give it a go yourself!! :D

Getting GOOD QUALITY wood (stick to wood, rather than plastic) is easy enough (and fairly cheap) and unless you wanted fancy designs, you could make the stand any shape, size or design you wanted. Will work out a lot cheaper and it wouldnt take that long.

A mate has a similiar tank, so if i get a chance i'll go up tomorrow arvo and get some pics. Very simple design but looks fantastic.

What sort of fish you plan to get??

Guys - unfortunately wood seems to burn every time I try to weld it at garage malaga... ;)

won't be able to led a hand on this one...

Dan - as Docile said, get some mdf and make it up to suit - easy as.. paint it for that nu-vogue pimpy look.. :)

OK Adrian and Cam so is that idea out? if so Perhaps after speaking to Mat (Docile) i will try and make one myself with Mat, reminds me of a simpsons episode where homer tries to make a spice holder.. why do i get the feeling that my backyard jobbie isn't going to go to plan..... with me they never do.... ask paul!!! :-)

better still, cover it in checkerplate, and stick some neons in it!

:uh-huh:

AHAHAHAHA!!! check out those fish...

yeah checkerplate and neons should to the trick and whack a 5 speed turbo charged filter on it!! yeah FULLY SICK!!

Dan, Like i said, it wont be perfect but as long as we sit down and have a bit of a think and take our time, we should do a pretty good job!! Next time i see you, i'll show you the clock and stuff i made for a bit of confidence boosting!

We should be able to add a couple of shelves and stuff for the filter and air pumps etc

Cheers

Mat

No, NO FIsh in the car.... got some probs with the turbo as it is... a fish tank is the last thing on my mind at the moment! then again some goldfish would look cool in our tail lights! ahaha!

:( :bahaha:

Grey skys: well if its ok with you, do you want to spend a sunny arvo with myself and docile sinking down beers (i will supply!) and making up a nice aquarium stand! hmmm maybe we should stay away from the beers until we have finished?? eheheh! :uh-huh:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
