anyone recommend a decent place to get a fiberglass front bar fitted and maybe painted ( if its not going to cost a arm and leg as its a non standard colour and thought just getting it made up in spray cans) locally.

Just curious whats an average price to get one fitted if you have done it also

Trust me don't go the cans route, There are some people on the forums that have done this and I have seen the end result of the work... Take it to a pro and get them to work the voodoo. Best bet would be to shop around what area are you in?

agreed^^^

So whos coming to happy laps? at QR this time for a sunday breakfast. so its gonna be an early morning drive.

oh and i bought this yesterday :)http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261057060347?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648 but wont be here and done before the weekend. so next week my fulli sic Zorst should be sorted from turbo back

I'm from morayfield, have any of you guys used a body shop around the area? Or anyone that wants a cashie to just fit the bar?

I didn't really want to go the pressure pack can route, but i needed a 30cm strip on my a pillar repainted completely and got quoted $1300 just for that a bit, and a touch up on the door handle from a place in caloundra, that's why i was thinking the can theory. I assume it was so expensive due to the work needed to blend it all to the same colour.

I will end up getting it sprayed professionally though.

sorry man, i got no suggestions :( always done all and any bodywork myself (has been a long time)

yeah colour matching can be a real pain...and your biggest issue.

so whos keen for a meet/drive tomorrow night??

i'll have to get back to everyone about tomorrow night, as my cousin has asked me out to a opening to some club in brisbane

sounds like something i may have been interested in 10 years ago :P

I'd be keen for a meet up.

good to hear. i think we go Carseldine way for some tasty Pizza, then off to see the westies if we dont get much love on the northside :)

I have a surprise on call stint, so no going out for me. maybe next week now....wait wait next week is batman so the week after maybe.

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
