im not too cluey on stones and gems, but surely these arent worth as much as theyre selling them for.... people into healing stones dont usually have a few grand to spend on them (or do they?)

also, considering getting my TE37's powder coated in red. anodised aluminium coating is a bitch to clean, and was never a fan of bronze.

Edit: hadnt even thought of plasti-dipping them. might do that for starters.

if youve got spray gear, (20 dollar electric ozito gun from bunners) this stuff is decent. doesnt need thining.

sold a 2 door n/a 33 for 10k a few years ago dem p plate laws.

manual and coupes will go for about 1k more usually, maybe more. Mine was pretty zippy enjoyed it on my Ps. 123rwkw bro, dat healthy engine.

Probably liked it more than my GTR to be honest. (like fun vs price, obviously GTR is the better car.. ) used to do some fun shit with that little n/a. Maybe I was just young and stupid.

cool. might consider. would like to rock green wheels for a bit.

thanks for the tips, was looking for a new powdercoater since the one on cochranes rd is a bit of a joke.

kit looks great plattsy. might snap it up now, will do it over weekend. yo alvin, if i buy the kit you can borrow spray gun for $20 and provide your own lime?

no worries mate, i bought one litre of matte black, enough to do micra front bumper, grill and bonnet, still have about 250mm left.

maybe buy the litre and have spare for touch ups?

warning, the freight is nasty cos its dg.

i'll just buy my own. Any excuse to get more tools, is a good excuse.

honestly ish, this stuff is a piece of piss, clean rims, wash down with wax and grease rem, spray. leave for 10 mins, spray. repeat until thick as you like.

then clear coat it if you want it to last longer than a year!

what kind of clear coat?

farkin e-toll karnts. 3 days of tolls cost me $54 with the hire car. only overcharged me $2.80 on one of them. not worth sitting on hold for 20mins to argue. when they say use of toll roads will only cost $3.30 a day = normal toll cost + $3.30 service fee + exceeding 100kms a day in hire vehicle fee (which they never told me about). city link is espensive :(

lesson learnt.

Yeah, looks alright! Moreso if it was worth it, when I'll probably get a new set of rims altogether type thing haha.

Although this might (probably will) mean new tyres and coilovers... So nek minnit 3K purchase lol...

Your es is white isn't it? Fluro Orange. Kgo.

Yah, white. Haha maybe :P.

Hey Guys, is this car too good to be true? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1999/SSE-AD-2134462/?Cr=21&sdmvc=1

I'm in the market for a 34 non-turbo and this one looks good, a bit too good.

Clean on the outside / Engine bay looks nice too...

The Km's are getting up there...

Big hole where the stereo was suppose to be...

High price to milk it out of P Platers as the car is P Plater friendly...

BB6 would pull pretty nicely imo. And could be leather interior etc notbad.jpg

But might be getting harder to find a nice example.

Also K-swap little EGs?

S2K,86 my picks if budget allowed.

EP3R coming down in prices, I think, too.

cheap, powerful, aus built car with japanese parts (ie, best of both worlds)... we all know the answer. SSS.

FTOs in manual are quite quick, P-plate friendly and coupes. got a face only a mother could love though, and parts are difficult + paint fade is common.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
