Looking at getting a few things like my rocker covers and timing belt cover powder coated and maybe some ceramic coating on one or two things as well.

I know craved coatings has had great reviews, but I would prefer to be able to take everything to a shop front rather than have to pay for postage to and from craved.

Anyone know of/had any gear powder coated or ceramic coated locally?

no one does ceramic coatings in canberra. in fact no one in australia really does ceramic coating. places like hi-octane etc do ceramic powdercoatings (which is more than sufficient for any street or even basic track car) real ceamic coatings are white as seen on the likes of F1 cars etc and they have the price to suit that high end racing too.

I sent my stuff to high octane coatings. i packed them up and they arranged for it to be picked up. didnt take them long to send them back either. quality and service were top notch. they can also complete your powdercoating for rocker covers etc

here is what i sent them:

how they sent it back:

Looks like i might just go with craved then, as i know he has a great reputation. I suppose the jacked up prices of a canberra business will even out the cost associated with postage to craved anyway.

Titan, did your exhaust manifold and turbine housing get painted inside and outside?

manifold did, turbine housing probably was, i had it done a couple of years ago.

overall cost wasnt that much, couple hundred i think. again it was a couple of years ago.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
