Lakeside Classic - July 26, 2015 None of this build would of been possible without the man sitting next to me. Endless hours spent together talking, planning, working. Forever thankful Dad.

I did some reaserch about 6 months ago on flocking in Brisbane and no one seemed to know what I was talking about. There is a crowd in Sydney that does it but its fairly expensive.

Hey Robbie,

Although not in Brisbane, there is Precise Triming on the Gold Coast that do some pretty good stuff (not far from me too).

Give them a hoy and see what they have to say.

Brand for paint depends on how much you want to spend/how good you want it to look. Any good painter can get it looking 100% with most half decent paints but the more you spend on paint the better/longer it will last. With some of the cheaper paints the clearcoat will pinch back/dull off after even a short while so if you only want to do it once do it right. Who are you geting to paint it cause every painter will have their own preference on which paint they use but as a guide I'd look for someone who uses Glasurit, Spies Hecker or Standox. There are other good brands but they would be my pick. If your taking it to a shop find a reputable place that you know someone has used in the past and try and check out some of their work that they did 3-6 months ago and see what sort of condition its in now. PM me if you want some more info man I'm a qualified spraypainter and happy to help out with any Q's.

Cheers Brodie, you're dead right mate, want to do it once only and do it right!

Just getting a local guy to do it...will discuss paints with him and see what he says. Plan was check out some of his recent work and see how it looks

Appreciate that, will let you know how I go. Thanks again

Ohhh sweeet!!!

How nice are those N1's :wub:

Hey, are you or will be running an oil cooler? Because if you do (and depending on where you locate the cooler) you may have to punch some holes in the liner to let the air through. Best to do this before you put the liners on the car.

BTW, I'm also getting a cusco number plate mount as it is one way to put the plate on without ruining the front bumper.

What suspension are you putting on the car, are they Tein SS?

It came with Tein control master type flex's on it man. Really haven't had a chance to spend much time on what to do with coilovers...

I want to have a chat with Sydneykid on here...I am unsure of age, condition and spring rates type flex's but pretty sure they aren't going to be much use to me!

Yep. I sent him a pm regarding the same. But he is a busy, busy, busy boy.

Tein type flex were actually what I was looking at getting but they are discontinued. I think Tein coilovers are to harsh for our roads here. I think Bilstien are the way to go (although I have a thing for Tein)

Still juggling with coilovers, but will sort it out soon enough.

You just gonna recond the gearbox or something more exotic?

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
