Been thinking about what to do with my valve covers on the R32 they don't look as bad as some examples but i still want to freshen them up a little. Was thinking of going crackle black but came across this

Where about in Sydney can i get this done as i have heard terrible things about dipped-parts.com.

Or does anyone else have any ideas about what to do with the valve covers ?

I don't know if Chris does anodizing, but I can't speak highly enough of the quality of work he does in powder coating. I've had him do a few bits and pieces for me now, and I have more to send to him.

Anodizing works out far more expensive.

The anodizied finish will only be as good as the polished surface underneath. To get a pair of covers, valley and timing case for an rb26 polished up perfectly costs a small fortune.

I had a customer not long ago get a set done only to have a second set powdercoated for his 2nd car.

+1 for Chris here. Awesome work that wont dissapoint.

I think I just about ran out of bits for him to coat lol

Really? lol

Where is the updated progress on your car Dave?

I just fabbed up an airbox on the weekend with the help of a mate and it looks smick (When i say fabbed i mean butchered a JJ one to make it fit)... Car is nearly good to go!

If i go I'll be spectating >_<

What fuel pump are you running? I am yet to install my 044 as i have been slack!!

You just reminded me, i need to contact Chris to do my wheels... Black or Gunmetal Grey i think... Not sure yet...

Old walbro 255lph something something, I'm hoping that's all the problem is.

Pings off it's head on wot in third. I don't think it can keep up with the 2835 pro s?????

I could be wrong I'm just hoping that's all that's wrong :(

Could be? Just run another 255L in the tank with it... I have one in the shed that came out of my car that you can have cheap :thumbsup:

Probably best get on top of that ASAP so you dont damage anything...

    • 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!
