  1. post the rego up for sure, then we can keep an eye out. what area was it stolen from? this shit is unreal, i hope these bastards get what is coming to them, i seriously do

  8. ive noticed there's a few on ebay, yeah they normally just bolt on.
  9. what's the name of the kit? im not keen on it.
  10. im keen, pm please
  11. nope, no different. the clear film build would be similar thickness to an a4 sheet of paper. Nismo_God - No worries my method was a bit thorough, but it can be done easier than that.
  12. thats not a bad idea i would do it if i had a better facility and a bit more time.
  13. yeah mate, the pics of the headlights on the stands where they look all dull.. those are fine sandpaper scratches. wet-sanding the lights cleans all the tarnish off, when i was rubbing them down i could see all the yellowey stuff running off them. the stock plastic cant stand up to the effects of weathering, the 2k clear is essentially a type of plastic. so im reinforcing the plastic. ive used this particular clear on some of my cars before and it can take weathering fine, no drop in gloss, no yellowing. hope that makes a bit more sense
  14. here is my method for a permanent fix up the plastic only oxidizes on the outside from my experience. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=173132 any spray shop should be able to do this
  15. that mines 34 is unreal, i cant believe how quick it revs
  16. LOL, its addictive, i played it for ages haha
  17. is the bar plastic or fiberglass? plastic primer is for plastic components. primer surfacer for gel coat/fiberglass.
  18. Trav33 ive had this on my car for about 1 year now, no more dull headlights thanks for the comments guys! i think my lights may have been worse than most, i previously used farecla medium grade cutting compound on a machine buff on my lights. After about 2-3 months they were yellow and dull again. DrewII - i get some moisture inside my lights sometimes when that car gets wet, but it evaporates away. the yellowey dull look is only on the outside of the plastic.
  19. yeah mate. make sure u prime it first. the consequence of not priming is fish eyes and bad adhesion.

    Headlights

  21. Hello. Here is a permanent solution to fixing those faded skyline headlights. One of my mates from tafe inspired the idea. Pretty much I was sick of polishing my lights every 3 months after the plastic oxidized itself again. Here is a pic of my car with the dull look headlights If you are going to DIY this I would recommend some previous spray painting experience and also good safety gear like a respirator and good ventilation (preferably a booth of some sort). If not take the lights to a paint shop, I can’t see it would be very pricey to do a small job like this. Here are the materials I used Plastic Primer Antistatic plastic cleaner 2 pak clear 2 pak hardner 2 pak reducer 2" masking tape 1 bucket of water Sponge truckwash 1000 grit wet and dry sandpaper Tools used 3.5hp air compressor 1.4mm spray gun Screwdriver and socket set 1 - Ok first of all u will need to remove the grill (held on by a few clips) then remove the headlights (few bolts on the rad support and 2 small screws underneath) 2 - place the headlights on something stable, fill a bucket with water (and a dash of truckwash if u like), soak a sponge in the water and run it over the headlight plastic while sanding with 1000 grit paper until the whole light is a fine haze of scratches. 3 - Dry the headlights off, use a clean rag and wipe over with the plastic cleaner. 4 - Mask around the outline of the headlight (not totally necessary, just me being fussy) use an airblower to remove any dust from the lights. 5 - Pour about 100ml plastic primer into spray gun and place a light coat over the lights (allow a minute or 2 to dry) 6 - Mix up the clear. the one I used was 4 parts clear, 1 part hardner and about 10% thinner. Now spray a light coat over the lights (just enough to make the lights look clear) Allow a couple of minutes for coat 1 to tack off and put a final coat on (so the finish looks nice and smooth) Give it about a day to dry hard, fit them back up to the car, and never have to polish up dull lights again
  22. it gets tedious trying to get the thing out of the window! my mate got 114m somehow???
