Gold Star Metal Finishers

41(A) chapman Rd

Hackham 5163

81863311

They do 3layer chroming not sure on prices but will be paying them a visit during the week :D

+1 Gold Star

When I built the bike last year I tried a few people around Adelaide........Don't go out north for for any chroming, I had a bad experience out there with bubbling & pitting.

Other than Gold Star I would send my stuff to a mob in Melbourne.

Depends how fussy you are at the end of the day.....I wanted a finish that would win shows.

No... i just dropped off my timing cover to be chromed on North East Rd.

I was thinking of getting other stuff done later, so I'll check out Gold Star next time.

hey 4door, dont know about that NE mob......the mob I had trouble with were right out north, but having said that, they refunded 85% of my money and acknowledged the work was shocking so I suppose I forgive them but you know what they say, "once bitten twice shy".

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Duncan · Posted

      I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
