Hey guys new to skylines australia but not to the scene, have been working on my car for a few months now just cleaning the underbody and getting everything back to either 'clean' or 'new'

Most recently did the RH front wheel arch incl calipers etc and re roadsealing just after some opinions from people to see if you think it looks good or tacky? Let me know

BTW, its not just a quick spray over job, everythings been individually degreased disassembled, sanded back then resprayed properly.

looks really good if you ask me. can i ask what you used for the black on the plastic? i have used some stuff in the past but was thick like tar and a pain to apply.

i personally think the worst thing on a car is when you have nice wheels.. whatever they might be and during the day or at night when you get the headlights shining through the wheel.. all you can see if brown dirt and crap that accumulates from driving over the years. when its nice and black it all looks fresh and new and clean under there.

Thanks guys, for the plastic i just degreased then sprayed matt black and used 'septone' body deadner from super cheap auto on the arches seems to be alright.

I got the idea from my mechanic when he put it up on the hoist he said this is one of the tidiest 32s hes ever seen and im lucky to not have a rusty one, I thought I might as well make something good 'better' while its off the road. Hopefully when its all done soon ill get more pics of the underbody. It doesnt cost much at all to do this its just the hours of labour

Cheers guys. Yeah 2 days...I havnt been completely honest it was more like 2 afternoons haha at best 9 hours work but could be done in less time with a simple degrease and spray/paint just to achieve a result. Im just a bit anal, will get more pics up as they come

Hey guys been pretty slack lately ive finally got the whole front underbody section done though and its looking pretty spiffy underneath. Its taken a while and believe me its not the best fun under there with grease and dust everywhere and limited room to manouvre anything but im making a little progress...Heres a couple of pics

What you think? You can see where ive stopped with the road seal, im about to start on that area back today

Thanks mate, pretty happy with how its all coming up, looks great in person. Slowly getting down the the back of the car will get pics up as progres comes.

Just a general question, Im in the market for an R34 gtr, so if one comes along I may have to sell this, just wondering what sort of interest there would be in a car thats had this sort of work done to this standard? Any comments would be great, what sort of money would you pay?

brilliant man! the work many neglect is the sign of a true perfectionist and to the not knowing eye, it screams tidy for sure no matter what angle. Its amazing what blacking things out and refreshing body deadener etc can do.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
