Have read in a few places that if there's finance owing on it, isn't the general procedure to get a printout of the remaining owing on it... then YOU pay the finance company with one bank cheque, and pay the seller the remaining balance?

Seems better than trusting a seller you barely know with your money until they pay off their debts and still have the car...

Bought a car tonight.

If the seller pays off the finance tomorrow, how long before I can get confirmation that it's unencumbered?

Sup yo...

Recommendations of Paint Strippers which are strong as fk and would be able to munch up factory powdercoat from alloy rims?

Would bunnings spec be good enough? Just aim for the one with the most lethal sounding warnings on the label?

Getting tyres / weights / valves stripped off my rims today so I can spend the night getting dirty and prepping them for some sweet satin black paint action.

Best stripper can be bought at SCA and is an orange/red lava colour.

Stings the moment it contacts, no delayed burn like some. Rancid smell too, really gets up your nose.

I did end up getting the Polystrippa pictured and it works well... Used a wire wheel to scuff

Paint just falls off the shiny metal underneath... Does want to still grab the spokes which are all sandblasted judging by the texture underneath, but still comes off fine with a few coats and some hard sprays with the hose (don't have a pressure sprayer with me atm)

:)

Now, where can I buy paint from tomorrow to spray these satin black with a semi-gloss finish?

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
