Recommended Posts

Thanks Mike and Dave I got my pre purchase inspection today and its all great too. Mike i have been itching to get myself into a hotplate mobile since the last monster, but im glad this one is alot safer and less modified. 240rwkw's for a R31 was just abit much for the ol gurl me thinks, Hope to see you all at the cruise and by all means please come take a look at the new toy and introduce urself!

PS mike how do u know bout sth star motors? But its true these guys are great and its been a absolute pleasure buying the car. Couldnt ask for better service if I tried, If only they'd let me take out the Purple R33 GTR vspec they have in there...... Its sexc!

Cheers Pete

Woah.... whats he doin in sydney? is he there to stay? things are crazy these days crazy!

cheers Pete

i heard he was living there but im not 100% sure

240rwkw in the 31 hey, i should be pushing that sometime next year maybe :D

Thanks Chaos, Yeh slipo actually bought my R31 GTS1 wreck after i had a big accident (not my fault just unlucky i aqua plained on the gateway motorway and it flicked the ass out to the left and into a ditch) it came with a Rb25det, Highflow t3/t4, motec m4, rx6 injectors, big fuel pump, GTR intercooler, malpassi fuel pressure regulator, etc

But geez it would of been nice to have seen what he did with his car and all the extras he had, would be one nice lil weapon. Hope he still vists the forums and sees this post

Cheers Pete

Nice. I bought my GTST off Barry 3 years ago. Still have it today. He's pretty friendly. I was looking at the 1993 R32 GTR Vspec he had up there (awesome!!!!). Only $28,000.

If you need any repairs or servicing done.....go across the street and down to the end shed on the left. We have all the equipment necessary and are cheaper than everybody else.

sweet elite, I'll deffinately keep it in mind whats ur workshops name?.... Yeah my toy is sitting in Barry's workshop as we speak! I pick it up on friday lunch time and yes his GTR vspecs he gets in are unreal!! His R34 GTR vspec was nice too tho :) .

Im hell excited that theres only 1 day left till i get it!!!

And also got full comp insurance for only $1300 with a 0% no claim bonus 1 ticket, and 1 acco. VIGIL rock!

If ya wanna see it, I'll be on the skyline cruise on Sunday too!!

Cheers Pete (aka BOOSTA)

Congrats on the new purchase pete. Looks very clean and tidy. Good to see you back in the scene.

My car will be finished in 2-3 months, been off the road for over a year now. Did this setup really pull 240rwkw in your car? My car will probably be for sale when completed.

Yes I'm in Sydney.

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol
