my car needs its suspension upgraded to somehting a little stiffer, my brakes could do with a little bit of upgrading, and the powerfc, also the paint needs to be really touched up, the spoiler, front and rear bar, bonnet and drivers door need respraying....... probably should get the whole thing resprayed but i dont think that they could match my colour ;)

i want mine resprayed - a metallic purple - i wanted the R34 metallic blue - but i saw an R33 in that the other day and i didnt like it!!

Really i would like a colour that is like a cherry red in some light and a black in other light .... u know kinda chamelon but not ..... be way expensive tho!!

i think they have a name for it, like harlequin or something

i dunno, im pretty sure theyd be able to do it, i doubt it would be THAT expensive, i mean compared to other things

it was gonna cost like 600 dollars to redo my back bar and spoiler and touch up the bad stuff on the other parts of the body

but it would look shit with little bits done and little bits left fine

so it would be better to get the whole thing done in one hit

slip in qld just had his r31 resprayed, i wonder how much that cost him, i dont want a shit job done either, i want it done well, not with trims sprayed when they shouldnt be ect

i saw a 300zx resprayed, looked great, get up close, they pretty much taped the windows and sprayed everything, even the door locks

Hiya Everyone :wavey:

Quick question.... does anyone remember seeing a picture posted/linked to on SAU of a black Stagea with a R34 front on it.... I believe the car was in japan..... I remember seeing it ages ago and would like to find it again....

i hate xmas time full stop, more of that time where everyones so happy for nothing

theres no reason to be happy its just another excuse to rush out and buy gifts and crap, and theres always the gift that keeps on givving, a lovely dint in the back of ya car, everytime i look at my car i get a little angry

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
