I ran last weekend at the Symmons Plains 60th annaverary meet. Unfortunately after a good run the engine decided to throw a rod.  I've got the engine out but havn't pulled the sump off yet, I suspect

So it’s been over a year since an update. The first event last year was the Poatina Mountain Race, it was pretty much a 7km hill climb with the option for a navigator. I put my girlfriend in the sil

for the sale of saving weight and shit

have you ladies ever considered a r31 pintara non power steering rack?

i have run r32/r33/r31 racks in my cars

the pinny is the winner

not very plesant when reverse parking though

just a thought

we have got a selection of "light weight" PS components off other cars so not the standard setup.

thanks for the heads up thoe.

Oh and have you seen Bens arms. he struggles to turn a shopping trolly without power steering!!!

Hey Ben, whats the deal with letting Damo out of the shed? I thought he was YOUR bitch?

But last sunday I see him towing a horse float while the sun was still up? Surely you don't let him go home before dark? Sheesh!

he needs some good horse sex to keep his ennergy up, and if he didn't take the horse out coby wouldn't cook his tea.

i could probably get a pintara rack from a car on bricks in ravo (like maqaree fields but way more hoona)

and who the hell can steer a shopping trolly!

Do i spy fancy looking engine mounts in one of those pics?

also. how did you get the alloy sheet for the ECU mount and fuse? panel so smooth?

Mounts are R31 specials. lol. $15 each brand new.

how do you mean smooth?

ive been hobby working with alloy for a few years now and its a pain in the ass. it marks way to easy. its 3mm thick so it hold its shape.

usually i use a green scoring pad to give a brushed alloy look but used 1000 or 4000 grit sand paper to give a brushed alloy look.

By smooth i mean it doesnt look like it will take a finger off if you touched an edge...but you did just say you have been playing with it for a while....im just wonding the best way to cut and bend it to shape.

as far as i know it's just a painted std mount, the engine didn't have one attached when i got it, so we scanvenged it.

easy, take pics with a phone camera :P

      Rusty roof repair

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
