Can't comment on the front bar as it's not one of theirs. My side skirts sat about 11cm off the ground. Haven't measured an exact height but at the rear, 18's with 35 profile tyres has about an finger width to the guard. My old side skirts sat 7cm. I can sell you those if you want to get back at the missus for something :banana:

ahahahaa! No worries then. I've gone ahead and ordered the kit. Along with a couple of dolphin eyelids to match. Hopefully the panel shop won't have too much problems getting it painted and fitted.

bit hard to see but this is a pic off the dolphin site http://www.freeway-dolphin.co.jp/aeroform/...ea_c34mc-bl.htm

Thanks mike, that's pretty much it. Here's one i found as well, but it had the whole middle lip chopped off for the fmic so i photoshopped it back in.

series two Dolphin kit.

rear bar dunno looks like a dayz bar ?

saving the penny's now :(

That looks hot. Unfortunately mine won't look as nice, standard ride height. :) Mike's on the other hand... looks like it'd scrape cat eyes! :(

^^^ yup that rear bar is dayz, it's an adelaide car :) if you look closely, the dolphin bar has also had n1 slots fitted

mine with dolphin grill fitted - still reckon i prefer the N/A one

Hey mike, i didn't know that was an adl car. Have you seen it around? Does it come out cruising? Would like to see it in the flesh.

i've not actually seen it out and about but RBPOWA is correct when he said that it's just been sold. my mate was looking into buying it

maybe we should contact the old owner to let the new owner about this/us :devil:

Well got the car back. The paint job is very good, blends in perfectly. The front bar looks very nice if i may say so myself. Eyelids are on as well but i opted for the original grill at the end. Might still do a swap later as they painted the dolphin grill anyway, and it doesn't look too hard to do. Only problem is our driveway is quite high and unless i go really slow and at an angle, it scrapes. I'll have to watch out for those spoon drains! I will post some pics tomorrow.

awesome nick :banana:

be waiting for those pics :banana: :banana:

should have my side skirts and rear bar on the way shortly.... then place and order for bar grill eyelids and there vented hood... going all out..

stock ride height atm so will judge what suspension setup to go for then, this front bar is sounding low to a few people

It's alright if you drive around pretty careful anyway. As long as it's pretty slow there's no probs. Will leave it on for a couple of weeks till the Dayz bar is fixed and then decide. Might either have this one or the Dayz one for sale then.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
