Ah yeh, that would have been jamie with the s14 sil, nice car his, 250kw at the treads on his little beast.

Yeh, I've done a lot to the car since then.. I've been considering selling it as I'm moving to bris in 2 weeks =p I haven't decided on anything yet. The thought of parting with it just kills me though... I am in the process of getting a new front and rear bar and new bonnet. Have to get the damn headlights cleaned, but looks like it would take an entire day to do!

When's the next cruise?

pm Chris (olloskylineollo) for cruise dets man. I can give you a few tips on sorting out your headlights, did mine a few months ago.

worship.gif OH MY GOD so so beautiful

hey guys, I've just moved back to Toowoomba and recently brought myself a 33 gtst. Any suggestions on where I can get the guards rolled so I can lower it? Cheers.

wb. I've had previous cars done at garden city tyres, they seem to do a pretty good job. Can't comment on anyone else

I've heard good things about PlastiX and Meguairs. I have some friends at Diamond Detailers that said they can buff out the headlights... so was thinking about doing it that way. I know they have to be heated to 100 celcius to warm the glue to pry open the headlights... ubt just want to get the discharge cleaned.

I have to work on sundays, but I am moving to brisbane on the 20th of this month.... heh

Buffing works, I have done a few on second hand headlights before fitting them to cars. they come up pretty good, unable to telly you how long they looking clean

I had the shits and went into mine with 2000 wet and dry, then polished them out with plastx. Didn't have a buffer so it was by hand and took a good 2-3 hours. Even whacked a coat of clear over them to get a bit of longevity.

wow, its been thriving in here. last time i posted it was dead as :)...

Yeah it's good to see. Oh and BTW when did you move to Toowoomba? Or you have just said that so people don't know your from Gatton nyaanyaa.gif

chris those be fighting words lol, ill start the gatton skyline page and get the rest of the hektic p platers down here on it... i really should just move to tbar :s.

lol, found any performance cams yet? they would be hektic in this weather ATM in the N/A rofl.gif

ha.. ha. No i haven't even been looking yet, I've seen poncams with 254 and 264 duration that retain the vct something like that would sound tuff.

thinking its cheaper to buy a used de now and slot the whole engine in as mines done a lot of ks.

To be honest mate, you're probably not wrong there, would be a lot cheaper lol its just the work that would piss you off!

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
