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.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
