Hey everyone, have been a member for a while now but have made an introduction thread... i bought my 98' model R34 GTT in December 09' and loved it straight away..until august when i had a run in with the DECCW due to problems with the previous owner, and have had nothing but trouble since. However all seems to be sorted out now so thanks you to all the people who have already helped me out with info and advice.

I live in the Windsor area, NSW so will hopefully see a few of you around.

Bonnet is getting painted this week so will put some pics up soon.

cheers guys

the bonnet i got is from blits in queensland, i have already got it fitted to the car n the fitment is really good in terms of it matching up with the factory gaps between the panels..but actually fitting the bonnet was a real pain. The main bonnet catch was about 10mm too short, but the safety one was long enough, and it didnt make it over the strut brace or intercooler piping. i got in undercoateded today and the panel beater said it was one of the best fibreglass bonnets he's ever seen as it had hardly any pinholes in it, but unfortunately the undercoat had a bit of a reaction with the gel coat so it wont be getting painted til early next week now :P will post up pics and mods list when its sorted tho

sorry it took me so long to get the pics up, im pretty happy with how the bonnet came out, thinking of getting the mirrors done 2..open to ppls opinions :P

looks gd man,

Still contemplating if i should respray mine or just get a after market one.

Black sure does look gd :D

yeah i didnt know whether i should get it done in black or not, but decided i would like it to stand out a bit more. doing it this way ive at least got the factory bonnet still in factory paint down in the back shed just in case i have any troubles with the fibreglass one. :action-smiley-069: what colour is ur car at the moment?..would love to see some before n after photos of whatever u end up doing!!

    • Get something that can spray a bit, something like I'd use is a pressure pack for weed sprayer. I use one with degreaser. Spray it on (make sure you're fully covered up, you don't want that shit on you, especially face/eyes). Alternatively, a paint brush will help here as you can brush and work at the stuff quite aggressively.   Be aware, citric acid can eat metal away and will cause it to rust more later. So make sure you neutralise it when done, and give the fresh metal some protection. That hanger, I'd honestly bin and get something like the Frenchy's drop in replacement. The tank, again, I'd look for something else to replace it with. Remember, as metal turns to rust, it means there's less metal there now. So some patches of your fuel tank are likely to be quite thin.   Personally, Id focus on the front end of things, IE, how did the injectors get clogged if they're meant to be after a fuel filter. Then, once the front is sorted, I'd rig something up, even like a small surge tank, and make sure the engine is now running and all behaving. Then I'd replace the fuel tank and fuel hanger and pump. Also, I'd already be preparing to ditch your fuel filter...  
    • That's looking great! Are you planning to do things like all hidden wiring with it, or you're planning to have it look more like we'd expect an RB in an engine bay to look like?
    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
