Hey Kilbs, where are you located?

Vulcan Panel and Paint in Canningvale are really good, I had them fix my rear bumper after it was trolley'd in the car park at work.

Excellent work and reasonably priced too.

Don't have their business card handy but they r in the yellow pages :P

Man that sucks :l

I found a few fridge magnets with the local police station details on it stuck to my car this morning :P

Somebody thinks your a hoon and wants to scare you, find out who it was and do a burnout on their driveway. I would.

To OP:

Use a heat gun to try soften it up as said earlier, you should be able to get most of it off and nothing abit of paint wont fix if it does go horribly wrong.

Sorry to see that sort of crap, GL.

lol. what faggotry.

rampant rampant faggotry. sorry to hear this bro..

few things - SMELL it first.. make sure you know what you're dealing with before trying anything..

could be a number of things - my gf's swift was vandalised a few weeks back in similar fashion but with choc milk n tomato sauce n kecap manis.. lucky for me i was onto it fast n got it all off..

IF IT IS wood working glue.. you want two of the following:

a hot sunny day

a heat gun

a steam gun

a hairdryer

a plastic scraper

GLOVES

make sure you have gloves... there was this one time that i once found out that once glue heats up - it goes soft n runny.. and you can pick it off using your fingers.. but once you have it on your fingers. it's HOT. and that sucks

...so you try wipe it off..

but it's sticky. cos it's glue. and it's hot. cos it's hot.

and it spreads. then goes cold.

and it sets. cos it's glue.

so wear gloves.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
