Abcent,

repair work is alot more simple than a re-spray. Im sure you have allready been told this, but to get a car back down to bare metal & respray will cost you anywhere between $4-6K depending wether or not you have the door jams & engine bay done aswell. (Also it depends on the color you choose aswell)

I feel your pain, i had the same thing happen to me about a year ago. :)

Any ETA on when its gona be fixed?

:P trev

That really sucks, you need a baseball bat in your car for such an occasion. You need to know someone who is doing painting at tafe, it cost me $700 for the complete respray including door jams and some of engine bay. They fixed a dent in the bonnet (smash repair section) and prepared all the panels. When u compare that to what u gonna do it is worth it. In terms of colour, look at some of the new lambo colours and also the premium honda ones but they do cost a bit more. See you all in the morning. Berin are any of the other X1k ppl coming?

Talking to a few people about the re-spray next week, hopefully knowing a few contacts I can get it done at the right price, if not....white it will stay. Not sure on when I can get it fixed, almost have enough for my bigger injectors now, so the scratch unfortunatly will have to wait a month or two. I'll be selling putting my wing&bootlid up together for sale soon, after a stealth wing look now, then I wanna change the mags.....list goes on...:D it's all good :D one day:D

James: not sure if an X1K members are coming? not even sure if that even exists still?

reckon we should all just form a Geelong(an surrounding areas) section on SAU an organise our own cruise's, meetups, drinking nights....etc.

any thoughts anyone?

:P Berin

Was a great cruise......good turn out, great group of people. You missed out!!

should be another coming up in mid-late Nov? but not to certain on a date yet...

As my luck continues (getting my car keyed) I now have a defect notice today (Sunday)for being too low.....DOH' :goddam: . I was pulled over in Ryrie st in the taxi rank bit near the TAB :D (could they have picked a more public place?), at least I have adjustable coilovers so fixing the minor defect aint a prob at all, its already fixed, but still kinda annoying....the cop was pretty nice about it really, just doing his job i guess. At least he didnt put the yellow tag up, just got the blue slip which I sign myself to declare it's fixed and mail it off to VicRoads.

Whilst talking to the cop he asked me to pop the hood etc.... from my polite 10min conversation I had with him, he told me that becuase of the accident up top carpark recently they've been told to crack down on "modified" cars an "hoons" big time....and there going to....if you have a atmo BOV you can incur a $2000 fine (EPA fine), also you can now be defected for your big stereo (didnt clarify big) because with the vibration they create can weaken the cars structure by weakening the spot welds of the chassis etc (lucky i didnt have my usual 2 12" subs in the boot at the time)...kinda makes sense....but id say its more EXTREME nit picking!!! Ride heights, Tyres, tinted/modified (unroadworthy) head/tail lights, loud exhausts, power-weight ratio's (P platers)....the works.

so be carefull driving around geelong, "hoons" & "modified" cars ARE being targeted as a repercussion of the accident recently involving "hoons" in "modified" cars.

thought i'd give you the heads up rather than find out the hard way

:P Berin

should all meet up one weekend soon and catch up, bit of a meet & greet kinda thing, put names & faces to cars :D

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
