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.

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.

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.

Ha cheers mate, thought might be the case

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.

Yeah man, went the HKS type S oil cooler kit, I think locates in front of driver side wheel...

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?

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
