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:

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.

    • 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.
