Dose's Sometimes DIY and Pay Someone Home & Boat Improvement Thread

And some more bathroom build updates, waterproof it's mum.

Before someone says it's not thorough, there's actually a copper tray underneath the shower area, this shit will outlive me and my future kids.

This is why the R33 gets neglected lol

Meh

Happy wife, happy life

It's not like you cannot do mad skids later

My only concern is the large amounts of common sense being used, actually using money on something that doesn't just burn the money is weird....

Food looks amazing!

Bathroom looking titts too!  The copper base is an awesome idea, we’ve got a leaking shower base at the moment. In a 6 year old house....  Dodgy waterproofing much....?

Tile Factory Outlet, cheap and fast. Had massive issues with Tile & Bath Co. They cocked up our order big time (long story).

The floor tiles are all porcelain but the wall tiles are ceramic as there's no real need to get porcelain on the wall, since the water is going to head off anyhow.

These days most builders aim to water proof enough to get it a bee's dick past the 7 year warranty mark and hope to see you again OR they pretend to go bust, change names and off they go again and do shitty work.

Rather be eating in Korea, here's a photo from yesterday at Hong Kong waiting to board the plane back to Chiko Roll Dim Sum land.

Pork, Chicken and Duck plate, because I ain't no vegan.

Just read all 59 pages of this thread. Makes me want to preserve the Nissan in my motor. I am also big fan of the halaltech, had one in my old s14 and wish my new 33 had it ?

 

Also renovating my bathroom atm. Doing everything myself though, did stack bond subways on mine too, good choice. 

Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying the various aspects of this jdm/euro/house build thread. 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

@JCup looks like we have a few things in common, Nissan shitboxes and renovating ???

One thing I haven't tried to tackle is DIY tiling. When I renovated the laundry I paid a tiler, but part of me thinks I should have done it myself.

That's going to be a sick shower, dual rain heads, something the wife wants but I said no as we are planning to either sell this place or rent it out in a few years. I still dream of a house with a double garage, some form of man cave/room and about 30 to 40km to Sydney CBD. At the moment we're in a townhouse that's about 33kms away (so 1 box ticked lol). 

You should have a reno/car build thread too haha

@niZmO_Man habibi, you're a mod - can you change my thread title to "Dose Pipe Sutututu's Home Renos & Car Build Thread + Euro Appreciation"

Nearly done! Able to shower tomorrow morning but still needs a shower screen.

Rename thread to 

Dose's better home and gardens with a little bit of garage too.

 

Nice bathroom habib, does it make 500kw?

Poo tickets are to far away, I would end up face down on the floor if I was having drunk dump.

Nah you hold onto that big metal handle with your right hand and stretch out with your left hand for the tickets. Just need to understand what Bourbon limit the handle is rated to prior to putting any drunken weight on it

Will give it a hit soon, once the shower screen is in. Should pull those figures easy

I like the fact you can look at yourself pooping. Good plan

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

BRO... that thread title

Thanks @niZmO_Man if you need hook ups with Elig, Turbosmart, DBA, Motul, Intima, you know who to ask!

Inshallah! Must be tuning shit box SR20 season again, returning customer (ADM S15). Last T28BB E85 set up lasted 3 years till the head lifted with stock head bolts. I did advise the customer to put in ARP head studs, but his mates said no need. Long story short, new set up has freshened up bottom (rings, bearings), skimmed head, new valve seals, Supertech springs, new VCT, RAS, new v2.0 Tomei 258 Poncams and to top it off a GTX2860R Gen 2.

Customer is hoping for 250 to 260kW with ball tingling response, car already was doing 1m7s with only 223kW and Hankook Z221 tyres.

Just dialing it in before dyno this weekend, the entire old fuel map needed work meaning the motor is now breathing more hence parts were quite lean. 

Tonight some E85 work and we will be ready for dyno time.

[No Crust Racing]

from a 2860? 

Do the newer discos go that hard now?
