need your help fellas!

Looking to purchase a polisher, deciding between the GEX125 AC Pro and 150T. i know the 150 has a polisher setting, but between the two models the specs looks around the same. i was thinking the 125 would be better for the tighter spaces when polishing.

What are your guys opinions?

Thanks in advance!

bit pricey though, i special ordered mine through bunnings - showed them the price etc for it off sydneytools and they beat it by 10% .. thats the best deal I could get it for!

I dont use any backing plate :) the FI pads fits mine just right

Yeap, as long as you mask up the rubbers well i managed to do everywhere. most machines are too big for everywhere really and you still need to give some spots a good hand polish

If you are looking for a Random Orbital that has interchangeable backing plates and more power that the GEX150T but costs $229 you might want to look at the Concours 900 Polisher at Waxit Car Care.

You can also find a range of kits to go with the Concours 900 Polisher HERE.

that actually looks pretty cool i want to try but no point having two RO's!

I bought the 125 and then realised that it was no where near as effective at the 150T as the 150T has both the forced rotation mode (which is what you want) and random orbit. Went out and bought the 150T, as stated before Final Inspection highly recommend this unit, and it makes a big difference having a unit that can do forced rotation. I had to have the 125 held lightly against the cars surface otherwise it would bog down and just vibrate on one spot.

having struggled with an old Bosch RO only and then upgrading to a 150T, forced rotation is DEFINITELY the way to go.

a few friends have gone to Rotaries and didn't find them as scary as they thought. Obviously need to be more careful, but they said they're soo much quicker again of their prev units (Rotex jobbies $$$) - depends how serious you think your hobby is going to get :D

scr34min order it from bunnings, if you show them the price of it from sydneytools bunnings will beat it by 10% .. :D

thats what i did

also im in perth as well ... with a gex150T + pads + polishes sitting around ..

i do need to order the heavy cutting pad/polish still though

ive only got medium and extra fine ones atm

if you need any help or anything let me know :)

i have exams real soon but after that I should be quite free ...

^ i got mine for about 350 ..

no pads though

but from melb you'd have to pay delivery and whatnot ...

about the same really hahah

if you go down the bunnings route

http://sydneytools.com.au/shopexd.asp?id=1243&bc=no

show them that :)

oh yeah, i remember paying around $360 now that i think about it....

but still, $50 worth of pads in there, plus whatever was postage on them.

but yeah, probably the best deal for Melbourne ppl

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
