dooooooo eeeeettttt Artzie

I always warm the work piece beforehand and then heat a little bit between layers as well. Helps make the wrinkle really nice and uniform.

Yeah I was leaving it out in the sun, spraying and then lightly heating after each coat then going over it with the heat gun for ages after the final coat. Just to bad I didn't know this when I first tried the paint lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Any suggestions on where to start. I want to tidy up and Bling out the engine bay on my GTR.

Like taking my car to shows as well as the track.

Want something that looks great when the bonnet is up....

Ideas??

Want something that looks great when the bonnet is up....

Ideas??

- Wire tuck engine bay

- All plastic fluid reservoirs replaced with metal

- Braided everything

- Remake intercooler / intake pipes

- Less rubber bits

none of the above...lol

looks pretty neat already, just needs a good clean and general tidy up, maybe a few hoses and wires re-routed...

might get one of those oil catch/window washer combos

and a full length front cooling panel that covers your headlights and all....

but the rest i would just tidy up...clean the smog marks off the paint , clean the hoses, polish the covers etc...general cleaning basically.

no need to waste money on tacky braided hoses, leave that to the muscle car crowd..save the money for performance mods....

He said bling. I listed bling hahaha

eg> not a 26 but this is bling

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
