very nice! Even though its relatively easy to do, makes a big difference to the overall look of the car doesn't it?

hmmm..the hubs as well hey... /me runs outside and starts prepping car to do the hubs :) Nah, but maybe one day :)

cyrus: yours looks mad like that.. good choice of colour!

Yeah Joel that pic of mine you took looks Rad doesnt it! cant wait for the "action" shot of mine become viewable :)

That "action" shot of MJ's looks awesome!

What can i say, awesome outcome, money well spent, workmanship and value for money, AWESOME! Very proffessional finish and all I had to do were remove the tyres!

Thanks a lot for your time Joel, sorry we could only provide three, good luck next time, if anyone asks who did mine, I'll point them firmly in your direction!

The centre part is the hub facia- in 99% of cases I paint them as they're rusty or just look bad. On skylines they're usually black (at least they used to be black but have turned brown. ) On some theres also a horrible crusty bit right in the centre that I clean out and paint to prevent it from rusting any further. Some lines are in better shape than others.

Yeah theres a few good action shots that mindflux took from in my car.

I was having trouble uploading with optus FTP last night though, i'll try again tonight.

BTW, how come you guys always call me Joel? I don't mind really, but it's Joey :wavey:

Doh sorry Joey, I gotta learn to spell too, I swear it was joel, oh well one leter wawy isnt too bad :)

Still awesome work on mine, VERY happy with it, I want to drive past some buildings with reflective windows so I can see what it looks like going along, still very very happy with my gloworms :O

Close ups of Ska's "Hulk" stylee calipers and hubs.....

Thanks heap Nex for posting those, as everyone can see now before, during and after the whole transformation, if anyone wants a truely proffessional job done and couldn't be bothered doing it themselfs, Joey is definatly your man!

Yeah but now I need new wheels so you can see the calipers better

oh and Joey is the bomb...... people if you want a professional factory type job done then Joey is your man.

Factory? Hey! I'm not taking any lessons of the factory, they have no idea what they're doing.

Special thanks to you for the use of the carpark too mate.

Here are some more pictrues:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
