As the topic states, I know quite a few of you would understand the frustration in trying to maintain one.

I am wanting to get just the front lip spray painted and properly restored (there are some small surface cracks - nothing major).

Does anyone know a decent panel beater around the SE suburbs who can do it? One place quoted my $750 (but that was including my front bumper as well).

What's the most anyone has spent on getting it sorted?

Try DT Panels in Springvale and ask for Vu, can vouch for their quality of work.

My experience wasn't so good (went once, and went back again to have it fixed). I won't go back because the 2nd repair wasn't very good either.

ditto, I had a kit and spoiler put on and spoiler was on crooked. So had to take it off and do it properly myself. Hows the saying go? if you want it done right do it yourself?

IMHO. Because its black and just a front lip and not a major panel, I would do a DIY job. Buy quality spary paints. Sand back slightly, 2x coats of primer, 3x coats of black. Do it all in a garage, you would be laughing. Most it will cost you will be around $50.00 and a couple of hours across two afternoons. Especially since it's a part that is "sacrificial", getting it done professionally is a waste.

I bought a carbon front from PSI parts, looks the business and seems to be a lot more rigid than the standard lip. cost me around 500 and I fitted it myself.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      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!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      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.
