Isn't that where you work chaos? Any ideas on ballpark costs for white spray with / without prep work? What is involved with prepping the bar. Can I do it myself to save some $$$???

Can anyone recommend a shop in Brisbane to respray my front Bar. Please only post up positive experiences to save the forum any legal pain. If you've had a bad experience somewhere, please PM me. All help uber appreciated... Thanks, Michael

skn : PM me your email addy and I'll email a mate in Townsville who's got a 32GTR. If he doesn't know, he knows a couple of other folk in FNQ with 'lines... Michael

OK...he spoke to Bob Jane, and the Rims have ET 4/0 stamped on them - so the offset is 40. Apparently it is a common offset for FWD cars. Also, the rims will NOT fit a 5 stud pattern as mentioned in the original post. I have edited my original post to reflect the new info. Cheers, Michael

Couldn't find it on the web anywhere. The guy who's selling them took them into a tyre & wheel place on the weekend to find out. I'll post up when he comes into the office today. Cheers, Michael

Sorry...That's US$1250 with tyres fitted. Still chasing the offset...

I'll try and find out for you...Get back to you by this afternoon 46n2

Agree with the above-mentioned comments about street machines. I had them trying to slog me a 91 GTT with 50,000K's on it, for a price that was too cheap. Seemed sus to me. 46n2

Unless you're ripping out the HICAS, cutting the wire isn't a good idea...I've heard that the HICAS does stoopid things when you cut the wire due to bad signal. You could get the ECU reprogrammed (raise the boost & speed limiters, change fuel maps etc); or get an after-market device to do so (as mentioned by others). The Apexi RSM (i think they're about $300) gets rid of the speed cut. Run a search on the forum, as there's a number of devices made for this purpose. Happy hunting 46n2

Guys, Does anyone make aftermarket rack-ends for a 32 GTT (or for any car for that matter)??? Mine are gone on the L/S, but I'm hoping to get rid of the rubber bushes altogether. 46n2

The HKS Type 1 Turbo Timer has a 2 stage shift light as one of it's features. It is easily adjustable, and makes a noise also when you hit the limit you've set. Great value with it's other features for $300 (if you want to spend that much). I understand you can also get shift lights that hook into the cigarete lighter. Haven't had any first hand exp. with these, but they wire into a control module, where you can manually adjust the limit. I think Autobarn sell them. I've seen one wired into an S15 - looked pretty damn sweet. The light itself is small, and easily concealed. Good luck 46n2

I wish I had a porky pig smilie lol I was speaking with Trevor @ BDA Michael

Depends on what pads are going in and what you're using the car for... I'm setting mine up for track work and have recently put RB74's in and I was told by a brake specialist to bed the pads in on old rotors, and not to machine the rotors before the pads go on... I tried a screwdriver on the metal part of the piston when I was trying to push them back so I think I'll double check that I haven't damaged the seal in the proces... Michael

cool...thanks

Don't you need to prime it first???

Looks good...Dark blue (like a royal blue or something) is what I was thinkin of too... Dru...What needs to be done to prep it for paint???

Prolly the injectors, mine makes the same noise...Bring it around & I'll put an ear to it...Email me Michael

What's the easiest way to get then pistons back? I tried openning up the bleed screw and pushing them, but they wouldn't budge. Since, I've had the pads changed by the pro's while I had it in for other work. Thanks, Michael

when I was trying to find the speed sensor wire in my 32 I followed the tracks from the speedo to the plug in the back of the dash to find out which wire it was. From memory, there were only 3 or so tracks leading away from it. Mine had a couple of jap letters followed by SW written on the speed sensor track. Will cutting (breaking the circuit) the wire do stupid things to your HICAS. I understand (from conversation) that the HICAS will error as Iit can't find a speed signal? Michael

For anyone who's anxiously waiting the guide I'm putting together : It's now hit the 3.6MB mark as a word doco I may convert it to PDF which should shrink it down a bit, but it looks as though I'll have to email it to anyone who's interested when it's done... I'm putting it together in my lunch breaks at work because I don't have a 'puta at home, but it shouldn't be long now... 46n2
