This??? Close up of badge please? Looks GTR to me also..

OT: Check out Cameron's bodyworks in Coopers Plains for paint... DMD (www.dmdtheimage.com) is my recommendation if you are looking to get a new front bar.. And ERD is a +11ty for your engine..

Can you elaborate why you wouldnt use DMD? I bought a Do-Luck bar from them a while ago.. And their front qtr's.. Fitment was great.. But I know they have split their factories up recently.. Not sure why though.. Has their quality gone down or are you saying they are expensive?

have you seen his car? No need to get so offended mate... Are you able to provide a close up of the badge? As it looks alot like a GTR badge with the massive R on the bottom.. but hey if you want a GTR badge on your GTST then its up to you... at the end of the day its your car

Its a Kakimoto widebody R, hence the badge, its a little similar to a gtr badge but the R is quite different in both shape and colour when you see one in the flesh, Inquisition over! :blush:

thanks mate dont like all thoses haters that try point out shit about your car when i know my car is alot better then theres so have a look at your own car first before saying shit about other peoples car im just trying to get some info to get my car back on the road dont need all this other shit on here

Mate you have a go at people paying out your car yet in the same sentence you pay theirs out.... You don't know their cars and the fact stands you have twin-cannons on an R33 (if that's not rice I don't know what is) there is absolutely no justifiable reason to run twin cannons other than wank factor.

But on topic I'd say Monkey Warehouse for kits dealt with Kevin for years and he stands by his product I have never ever had an issue with anything from Kevin. He also now has a painter on site. 07 3323 3033

Im surprised your commenting on other ppls cars and saying they are shockers without even looking at them..... Fact is you will always get ppl that dont like things about your car and you wont like things about other ppl's car also.. main thing is you like whats on your car...Its all personal opinion at the end of the day...

You will probably find alot of ppl on here are not a fan over the oversized wide body kits and twin pipes... and some like it.... Guess its what makes ppl different

Instead of an expensive rebuild and respray, I suggest investing in some badly needed commas, full stops and just a hint of capitals.

4 posts, numerous words, and no sign of punctuation. I am surprised you were able to log onto sau. That alone deserves praise.

Well done mate, despite all the challenges you clearly face, for making it on here.

LOL Miso...

Also wallystyles.. Don't take things on here so harsh.. And you won't get so much neg comment.. Twin Cannon is considered rice but yours looks to be done ages ago before it was the "rice" thing to do.. Everyone has their opinion.. Fuck i'd hate to see you IRL at a servo or something with a bogan in a commo/ford..

Monkey Warehouse = DMD i think.. Or is the split made Monkey Warehouse seperate? Either way I recommend the Coopers Plains one if you are chasing a bodykit/front bar replacement

Ahh how I've missed the banter on SAU......some things never change...... :ninja:

Nice ride WallyStyles! I'm a fan of twins! (exhausts, girls, lesbians.....)

+1 for Elite - www.ERD.com.au for your engine rebuilt.

Cameron's bodyworks for paint & panel.

    • 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.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
