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".

      Would be easier to just run the RB25DET gearbox, all you would need to do is have the tail shaft / prop shaft shortened. S15 uses the rear ABS diff sensor for the dash speedo, so you can skip using the gearbox speed sensor.

      Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?

      You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
