got my weather sheilds off the otherday - after sitting on the car for 14 years they have pulled the plastic away from the body..

anyone know what my best route on fixing this would be?

picture here :mad:

the gluey stuff is taking forever to get off.. :P

shan i will hit you up when i need tyres, it seems because my car had been sitting for probably about a year + not doing anything in japan there is some small cracks in the tyres.. traction tyres suggested to get it replaced ASAP but kinda thinking they just want me to spend more money there.. as they are really only small cracks I might take some pics.

Anyways cheers all for the info :mad:

EDIT:

BC COILOVERS FTMFW, sooo much less bumpy then my brutal teins were, they feel sooo much better for a daily driver and no knock ftw.

what type of teins were they?

Terps and a razor blade but be careful with it ;) and a rag to help along the way and just be patient with it

ok, ive heard those ones are very stiff.

Yeah i'll probably sell them like uber cheap for someone that wants to chuck them in a track car or something, they do knock a bit so prob just sell to someone for like 100 or 200 bucks, worked fine on a few hill runs on my car.

do you remember this song

D:\Mp3\Albums\a to k\Billboard Top 100 Hits - 1992.(www.lokotorrents.com)\076 - Mc Hammer - Addams Gro.mp3

quality

They do what they wanna do, say what they wanna say

Live how they wanna live, play how they wanna play

Dance how they wanna dance, kick and they slap a friend

was more the color I was objecting to :) lol they do a good knockoff

yeah they do a different green to, more of a taraka green that looks heaps better

hahah keen eye for the Rotas Nick!

haha loves it

Would black rota grids be a bad choice? heard some mixed stories about them breaking and shit.. I like them but would feel cheap or something i duno.. lol like buying fake Oakleys or something :D

mine will be here soon, flat black in 17s

the grids are fine man, there are 700+hp track cars using them in the US and they still dont break

too many people have hate towards them becuase of how many different jap wheels they copy

they are made well now

haha yeh I sold my GT-Cs want to go for a different look :D

I will spend on go fast mods! waiting for Trent to get back haha got some cash for a few goodies.. although the sucker already sucks petrol like a dirty whore compared to my old non turbo. (driving 60+ KM a day for work as a daily hurts my wallet when filling it up :D)

Paint my Challenge F-Zeros black or buy some rota grids in black?

Edit: Nick I recon flat black is hawt :) how much they set you back?

Haha no hurry, I hope he enjoys himself overseas its great there :D

Gives me a chance to get my KMs up a bit more over 79,000 and do a timing belt service and all the shit at the same time.

Also i need to find someone that can paint flat black.. places i have looked at only do like a gloss black, and seemed a little pricey quoted me $700 and more to keep my "volk racing" chrome.

might need to find someone who can mould new rubber/plastic around doors also considering the gap :D

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
