Ouch... More delays, huh? :starwars:

Oh, I'm seeing Falcons in that Breeze colour everywhere now!

+1

Had a mate roll up in his XR6t yesterday... couldn't help but think "Yup. An R34 front-ended C34 will look ace in that colour"

ah that sucks to hear mate, there are no doubt places that rent out booths to use over your way? i know there are some over here

There is only 2 hire booths in Brisbane. $90-100 per hour plus bake time. So by the time you roll in, mask up and paint and bake it is around 4-5 hours :( Plus the painters cost

Worked on the car all weekend, meet with the painter/mate yesterday arvo everything was planned to paint it today. Get a text this morning at 6.20am, sorry mate can not do. I was furious :)

Spoke with my brother in law today who is a panel beater. His painter is going to do it this Sunday for $200. He sounds cheap, but he painted a mustang recently which got voted Australia's best. So it should could up great if my prep work is any good. Fingers crossed. :)

Fitted new sydneykids bilsteins today. The rear can only go to 340mm, they hit the tyres. Have 5 more grooves to go. The fronts have a few more grooves to go but the bottom platform hits the suspension arms, even after putting a 4mm deep groove in the bottom spring platform.

Should just leave the boody thing standard!!

Looking at new wheels. I am a bit over the R34 rims

Maybe these in 19x8.5 or 19x9's

These are 3 peice that way I can play around with offsets and not have to use spacers on the front.

With the R34 front being wider, I need to run approx 20mm wider offset than the rears to fill the guards.

With a type A or B disk upfront and C disk on the rear, should be able to keep the same dish F & R

Was thinking gold Rays GT-c's but the price is up around $4500 for rims :P

^^^ i do love the look of black wheels but am of the opinion that if you are going to spend the big dollars on gorgeous wheels (the 2 option you posted are prime examples) why would you want to hide them by blacking them out?

I agree!

If we were all made of money, how about Volk RE30's or CE28N's? Those would be my two picks.

I am a lover of 2/3 peice rims. Does not matter too much on center colour, but need the polished rim whit as much dish as possible.

That is why I am looking at modular wheels so I can get my offsets right.

I think most have seen my previous R33, ford blueprint with gold rims. plus 15 years ago ta22 celica in ford everglad green with gold B45's in a massive 15x6 with 195 tyres. That was huge back then LOL

Would also like a set of Duluck six spokes, but they have stopped making them

Picked up a pair of EVO 8 Recaro's yesterday for the fronts.

Just need to make them fit the bride rails.

Will be using series 2 manual back seat and door trims I have lying around.

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
