thanks but im busy next few weekends.
work this weekend, camping in walpole following week then work next weekend
Man I love Walpole. Mum n dad's friends own the caravan park on the inlet. Funny Walpole stories. Me and my mate Jim rented a old van down there when I was 19, he's about 6'8" and 140kgs below zero temps. the whole bed on his end of the van collapsed snapped and dropped him on the floor outside he went crook and went to sleep in the landy with the engine on and heater running. I had beanie 2 t-shirt 2 jumpers 2 track pants 2 socks sleeping bag and sheets off all the beds. Wind was blowing in the hole like a hurricane and I nearly froze to death. Last time we went for Christmas. Took the gravel track down to the small rocky beach off the inlet. Family got out the car and charged to the beach. I opened the drivers side door got out and looked down at the massive f**king snake that reared it's head up and trapped me between it and the car. Just stood still for ages till it settled down then f**king bolted. Dad and I weren't catching much so took the dingy all the way out the inlet into the ocean. The outboard shit itself and we had to row the whole way back took hours, arms were burning for days. Have fun Trev. Still one of the best spots in w.a

+1 on beer after welding in this weather, nothin industrial like you bit still 2mm plates to 0.6 body steel.....

Did you mig or tig it? Butt weld with backing?

The plates come as direct fit so all we gotta do is clean and weld. Been running a small bead on the 0.6 first then turning the mig up to get a nice weld between the bead and the 2mm plate. Hot work inside the cars and u have to be careful u dont set fire to them lol

I'd be taking it back to the painter,  you payed good money to have the car painted properly. Maybe take the car to other paint shops and ask their opinion on what the cause would be (in their experience) before you go back, so that you have an understanding.  

I wouldn't accept anything but perfection, if that's what you were paying for.

    • Hi all, I’ve just finished fitting the timing belt on my RB25, following the standard procedure: rotate the crank twice, release the tensioner, then tighten it down. The belt feels tight, and you can see that clearly in the picture below I’ve heard some people say it’s actually better for the belt to be slightly loose rather than too tight, as excessive tension can lead to snapping. So that’s in the back of my mind. What I’m seeing is this:  • At idle, the belt looks fine.  • But when cranking and especially when revving (around 3–4,000 RPM), there’s a momentary flap/flex or flicker in the belt, which I’ve tried to capture in the video. So my question is — based on what you see, is this slight belt movement something you’d consider normal, or am I just being OCD? Could this amount of movement cause sync issues? Or is it just a harmless bit of flex under load?   from what I know belt flap and flex is expected when crank spins up and pull cam with it Would appreciate any thoughts or similar experiences.     IMG_7656.mov IMG_7657.mov
    • I've replaced the front brakes of my NA to 324 brembos and 350z calipers: i'm going for 225/40-18 up front and 245/35-18 in the back. I have Rays 7.5*19 ET35(225/35) in the front with 5mm spacers otherwise the calipers "lock up/ won't rotate". When i use the calculator i come up with 8*18 ET30 for 225/40...... but not sure i get problems with the calipers. Anyone riding around with 18 inch. that can confirm "that it'll fit"? In the back it's 7.5*9 ET30 (245/30) with the 5mm spacers, but there is no problem with the standard small brakes, so i want to take 8.5*18 ET25 (245/35).
    • Lol.. but then.. always come back to a JDM..
    • Glad to hear. If possible, get your tuner to check air's to make sure everything is still where it should be.
    • The problem with FB/Insta/Reddit etc comments relating to cars is simple. You get to ask a question once, and get one round of replies. For things that can actually be answered in a few lines of text, once, it's fine. After 6 hours, your original question is lost to the void. There are no follow ups, additional questions, anything. No project car is ever such a simple list of questions to ask. You need discussion.
