jez NF Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Looks sick! Now please lower it... just a cm lower will make a world of difference, especially to the front.. Beginning to accept the truth in that statement.......maybe I should surprise myself with some new Teins as an xmas present. ....because parking close to the kerb is overrated 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/30/#findComment-7415273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR33 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Nice car overall mate. Can't say that the arts and crafts bits are my cup of tea but over all a nice car. Is this thing going to see any track time? It would be a shame if it's not. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/30/#findComment-7419289 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anfanee Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 This is quite possibly my favorite 33. I'm not usually a fan of them but this is a great car. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/30/#findComment-7419442 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jez NF Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Update Have always felt guilty for not having a GTR passenger seat and when I saw a great deal on bookface earlier this evening I could not resist picking up these bad boys......

jez NF Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 This is what the inside of the wheel adjuster thingie looks like btw for anyone struggling to remove it so that you can take the plastic trim off...on the previous seat it took me over half an hour to get a flat head screwdriver in there to wedge open the circlip !! Anyways...the plastic bits are going to be painted first thing tomorrow.

jez NF Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 After a bit of internet research over the last few days, I decided to just YOLO (you only live once - I did not know what it meant either initially..hahaa) and this happened........... P.S. If I end up with a black back and bum don't try this at home !! Everyone knows what stock seats with factory material that looked good 18 odd years ago looks like nowadays. So there is going to be no picture for that..... (insert picture of faded GTR seat) This is after the first light coat... This is after I turned up the heat and went with another two coats.... Getting my black on.... It is bound to dry patchy for the first few coats...so I am not too worried...but hopefully after a few thousand coats it will be nice and even !! P.S. It is drying up quite nicely actually as I type this and has begun to look pretty good YAY !! NOW TO SEE IF IT RUNS WITH SWEAT !!

jez NF Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 It is the powder stuff that I dissolved with hot water and salt and then used that spray bottle to layer fine layers of mist on so that it would spread evenly and dry quicker Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/30/#findComment-7432622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jez NF Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Also (since I forgot earlier) shout out to Joel for being an absolute gem of a mate and remembering that I wanted tinted indicators and selling me his. Beats my DIY tinted ones any day. Though in all fairness to myself I was trying to tint amber lens..haha. Pictures tomorrow !!

jez NF Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Picked up a spare set of these to have a little play with replacing the amber with a clear lens....will see how we go. Thanks to...umm...what was his name now...oh yes Anthony !! Tinted indicators fitted The seat is looking real nice.....will do two more coats to seal in the colour and ensure it has a nice smooth finish Really impressed with how easy it is to do and it turned out not as patchy as I thought it was going to be.....HOWEVER the decisive bit is going to be if the colour runs....which we shall soon find out Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/377489-the-evolution-of-night-fury/page/30/#findComment-7433218 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelone Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Should give it a few days to cure then hit it softly with a hose.
