$500 all up.

Cut and polish

Swirl removal

Stone chip touchups

Over buff mark removal

Full interior vacuum and window clean

It looks like a million bucks now. All the faded blemishes in some places are completely gone now. Paint looks deep and smoother than a baby's ass.

That photo was taken with my pocket point and click. It doesn't do any justification. You have to see it in person to really appreciate how well it's come up.

Where are you taking your car to get tinted? I had mine removed when I got a blueslip because it was too dark, so that's probably next on the to do list.

I went to tint-a-car in Flinders St. and it was only $80 to get it removed. The guy that served me there owns a R32 GTR V-spec. Top bloke and everyone I talked to there knew what they were talking about.

They quoted me about $380 for a full new tint. They recommended I get the "Formula 1" tint which would look better than the 'darkest legal' tint (looks lest filmy).

Taking it to Koolatint down Bomaderry, got quoted $250 plus a little more for removal of old "tint" if you can call it that from the rear window. (eg. another 20 or so, I think). Been highly recommended to me by other people down that way.

I spoke to SolarShade in Albion Park rail, they said $260 for tint with 10 year warranty, or $340 I think it was with lifetime.

Told ya he does a great job

+1000 internetz for Tristan! :P

Here are some more photos taken just before sunset at Port Kembla beach. No matter what angle I did it at, shots turned out a bit glarish lol.

For sure. I live in upper Berkeley so yeah Port is only a few minutes drive away. What about you?

Are you going on the Kirrawee to Austinmer cruise this Sunday?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
