hello

does any one know what the pearl white colour is called on the series 2 stagea? as i am after just a small amount like a touch up pen.

just take the colour code off the manufacturers plate to your local autobarn or similar auto parts house. They should be able to match it and get the correct colour for you.regards MYM35.

QT1, on your build plate, you will never match the pearl finish with a touch up pen, as it is a multi layer process. I bought a QT1 touch up pen in japan, its just another shade of white.

yeah thats probably all that i need. I am fixing the rust under the mirrors and there is just a touch where the mirrors don't cover so i dont really see the

need to go get some mixed and all that

cheers

thanks for that, I took off both mirrors and there wasn't that much rust there so its a DIY. the driver side had next to nothing but the passenger side was a

little worse, 99% of it is under the mirror so you cant see any of the repairs.

mmmm where to start, driver side was good nearly no rust all. passenger side had a fair bit, 90% was under the mirror but there was alot of metal missing.

That was all good did the rust converter and primer (easy). as for the tiny bit that you could see i thought i could just sand it back and trickle a bit of paint

and bobs your uncle. well it turns out bob isnt my uncle. by the time i got to fresh metal it had turned from 5mm space to 40mm space and as its pearl white i am starting to think i should have taken it to the body works!!

Its not that bad, It is painted and sanded so from a few feet away you cant notice it but up close you can. At least the rust is fixed, I will take it to a body works and see if they can do a better job with the paint.

I should have taken some photos and done a step by step how not to paint :thumbsup:

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
