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...

BTW, worst thread jacking ever.... :nyaanyaa:

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
