  1. Is that the anodized finish? That purple looks good
  2. Yes it's nice and shiny now
  3. Here are some really crap photos of some work we did for a R32GTR just before the customer sold it... I think the goal was to increase the "value" of the car somewhat, and/or make it so it's that bit more attractive?
  4. CruiseLiner: I'll talk to my business partner who purchases all our polishing supplies. I'll PM you if he tells me; he's pretty anal about the stuff - I've just picked it up from watching him do it all the time. Munna1: Totally agree
  5. You should look into the different compounds available for polishing wheels; you'll find it'll cut the times down and give you a better finish. Also; since you're polishing it on the grinder - there's not really much need for the sand paper; it'll all get smooth once it's polished. But I like your work; it's very very nice! I'll take some photos of my engine bay and I'll post it up too
  6. The anodized look doesn't really do it for me; too "dull" IMO. Another factor is that it costs too much to do. Keeping the parts polished/shiny is easy - once every month just wipe everything down with some kerosene and it's like new!
  7. Size XXXXXSkimpy gets the Offically Approved by Stan Stamp!
  8. My rocker covers are already done... most of the metal in the engine bay is done actually; only have the intake plenum and throttle body to be done and that's about all... I've even going to the extent of polishing up all the brass bits (all the brackets etc) to make it all match up and shiny! You are right, it does take ages - I guess we're lucky because we have all the tools etc from doing it as part of the business. Did you use all different compounds to get that sort of a finish? I find that the compounds reduce the time involved by heaps... Question: are your turbo comp covers all polished too and how did you go about removing those cast marks or chuncks?
  9. Nice... that would've taken ages!!!
  10. Started off using an angle grinder to get rid of any of the stuff I didn't want on the pipe; then used various types of discs to get it all smooth and ready for polishing. Polishing was done on a bench grinder with different types of wheels and compounds... finished it off with a kerosene bath to remove any polish left (not good for engine) and voila!
  11. Thanks mate... actually was my second polishing job of the day; first one was for one of our customers... he did it so it looked like a continuation of his FMIC pipe into the throttle body instead of looking real ugly from the top half upwards.
  12. Got bored with nothing to do today so I decided to do some polishing work to "further" dress up that engine bay Can never have enough bling under there to show the cops ~ Anyways, decided to finish off the half hearted job I did on the BOV pipe so I removed it and got to work... took the following steps: 1) Removed all the unsightly cast marks that do nothing but make it look ugly 2) Removed any unecessary chunks of metal used for mounting (only the ones not used) 3) Prepped the whole pipe's surface for polishing 4) Polished 5) Got very dirty Anyways, whole process took about 3 hours and the result came up really good Almost looks like a custom piece of metal was fabricated. I only did the bits that you can see from opening the bonnet and walking around it; didn't bother with the underneath side. Here are some pics; comparision with the stock un-polished pipe that I had lying around the shop: But then I got even more bored and decided to polish the standard BOV and fit that in atmo setup; getting sick of the flutter sound This is what I came up with... Fitted it and hoped for the best... didn't really like the sound so I took it off and drilled 4 whistle holes into the chamber pipe... re-fitted and went for another drive; perfect!!! Nice and subtle pssshhhtt; can hardly hear it and with a bit of throttle control; can actually have it on/off Anyways; just thought I'd tell my story for the day... If anyone wants more info; just PM me
  13. Is the cam cover metal?
  14. Front Seats are SOLD! Thank you... Rear seats are still available!
  15. RU4R3L???
  16. That would be me coming back from Hurstville Spotted another white R34; pearl blue Civic; 180sx and a few others fanging it down a back street in Hurstville; I think a remake of Tokyo Drift was in progress - idiots!
  17. Not 100% sure, will get back to you!
  18. Front and Dump Pipe SOLD PENDING PAYMENT!
  19. Like you, unsure All I know is that it goes for about 7-10seconds then stops. However, each time you do it (consecutively) the noise sounds like it's getting more and more "restrictive" almost like it's "filling the lines up" Anyways, I used to do it 3 times before cranking the motor and it started each time. If not then I'd be cranking for ages and the initial idle was very bad Not enough fuel going in to the engine.
  20. Are you sure on that one Richard? I seem to be able to do it with my car... it keeps making that 10second long "buzz and whir" when the ignition is turned on. Need to wait a few seconds after each time though... Maybe it's another sound I'm hearing, but this was the way we got around starting the car in the mornings before my fuel intake was fixed up.
  21. Complete set of R34 2 Door Standard Suspension available... PM if interested Gary!
  22. Nice car... I think I saw you parked in the city last Sunday? Goulburn Street Wilsons... caught my attention as we're putting one back together at our shop. Take a look on the Ford forums and look for TWEAKN - same as yours but with a LOT more power something stupid (500+ rwkw?)
  23. BUMPING! These must go by the end of tomorrow, I want them GONE! Could the person who PMed me with the offer + PICKUP please PM me again, Adam and I have reconsidered your offer~
