ok im pretty sure that is not rubber......??? does not seem like it...yes a bit of it is missing etc...but thats only on the back.... and if it is it is one hell of a "hard bit of rubber".....oh and I painted the front and sides and they look perfect This was done about 6 - 8 months ago and they still fine...so ??? Also when I sanded them back they dont break up or act like rubber..they act like a solid bit of something....so yeah??? And water does not get in etc..coz I wash my car once a week AT THE VERY LEAST...on a bad OCD week she will go through 3 washes !!! -

Went to the Spoiler Shop today to collect my Gtr wing Was all painted shiny and ready.............so to Greg (@Jonno - I told him about your business and he said to tell you to give him your number / card so that he could give you some work on a regular basis / cross refer etc) These were the things that I saw while I was there........... First up.....a nice looking 350z Then some dude who painted his calipers green Then my car driving in With the old wing Wingless........................................... Had to take off the old clips....(which were stubborn) :spank:and then stickaflex the holes etc..to prevent water getting into the boot later New wing............almost there...any minute now Done..... Half the car wet and half the car dry....... Also got to watch Brendan and his 34gtt and his dad in his 33 gtr race at barbs....and met Capt. Keaton Sparrow and the (black) White Pearl and his mate.... so a good day overall...productive and fun !!! the car now.........and picking up 850cc injectors on sunday arvo..............so stay tuned for some fun next week -

yeah...was thinking on the lines of plumbing everything back into the engine....partly coz I think im soon gonna hate the whooshhhttt sound every time you let off (gets annoying if you drive as much as I do - trust me)...and partly because I dont want leak issues later down the track as well.....BUT....I saw the HKS SSQ BOV stealth edition and its NOICCEEEE black n sexy.....plus..how can I give up on getting a good "blow" .........we shall see...tat is not priority atm though. ALSO update. As of half and hour ago I am now going to be buying brand new 850cc power enterprise (so basically denzo) side feed injectors.... Just need a Z32 and shes back on the dyno soon....for some real fun this time :yes: :yes: -

I GOT MY CAR BACK I GOT MY CAR BACK I GOT MY CAR BACK So as you can tell I am REALLY happy.......its been nearly 3 weeks...and boy have I missed her !! Things that were done at the workshop: New turbo bought and fitted - I now have a Gt3076 highflow, new gaskets, braided lines and hoses. (love the look of the new shiny silver braided lines) Splitfire Coilpacks - sfdis005 6xNGK sparkplugs - regapped Changes noticed: She sounds different....the engine note is a more aggressive hum.....the turbo sounds wicked when it spools.....she is laggier and I have to drop a gear on corners near home where I would granny her @1500rpm....BUT she hits hard when she begins to come on boost and it spools up hell quick once its going..and you get a nice little kick !! So to the crew HOWEVER........ I need: AFM - searching for a z32 or will just buy one brand new Injectors - herein lies my weakness.......stock injectors have maxed out already at 13psi....she made 320 on one run but had to scale back as the injectors didnt have enough time to close. BOV - stock one might leak at a later stage.....340ish?? so have to think on the lines of getting an aftermarket one soon. Thats all for now...plan to drive the car like this for a while and when I have saved some more diamond smuggling money will continue "modifying" !! -

I had my car towed recently...broke down at barbagallo....and they towed me back and then two days later to the workshop.....all for free...and I have a classic membership....I live in joondalup..so its not too far however.... you can call them as many times in a year and your entitled to 2 tows per problem.... my car is shit low...mention that when you call...and they send out a guy who owns and carries additional planks etc.... it took a lot of back n forth...but we got there in the end... one operator refused to do it..but then again he didnt have the planks..even after i mentioned it on the phone..so i called them..and they sent another truck out within half an hour

GOOD STUFF ADAM looks amazing..i have the same skirts n similar front lip edge (from this angle at least) specs on the wheels?? rim size? offset? tyres? thanks mate

Was quoted around the $2000 mark...good value for money in my opinon...good for 350 - 370 at the wheels on a decent tune...standard bolt on....I will prob settle for 350 as I prefer running "safe"....HKS and the Gt-rs range are better for lower end responsiveness but can get quite expensive...also difficult to source here in WA. Yeah I know what HICAS is "supposed to do" and what it is etc etc..just want to kno how it feels driving wise...as in would you lose the back before and find it awkward to reign in.....would you find the correction tough to predict on corners?? Is it a lot smoother now?? How is the power steering?? at low speeds? at high speeds? do you hold lines better?? etc etc Agree on the cheap fix bit...it is quite a cheap mod (if it works)

Hey Ricky ...im gettin a high flow 3076 core in mine by next week...will let you know how I go ......if you can wait that long ...comes with water n oil lines...n pretty stealth if its a daily and your worried about cop issues and not chasing crazy power Also explain "getting sick of HICAS".....how helpful is this bar etc?? I have read about HICAS and I know what it is..how it works..how u get the bar put on etc etc...but I want to know first hand experience.

Still waiting for the rear wing to arrive.....however it did say business days and in all fairness we have had two weekends in between. Hopefully its here today....will go check the letter box later tonite to see if I missed it by any chance. Also important update......I am upgrading my turbo......have always been more concerned with a responsive set up over big power figures but my stock turbo packed up a few nights ago leaving me no choice really Few pics of the car being towed by the RAC from Barbagallo raceway (no I wasnt racing..I was "spectating" !!) ..and being towed to the workshop After a lot of weighing up of options etc etc.....I have decided on going with a highflowed 3076 core on the stock manifold...new oil n water lines but basically a direct bolt on. Yes I know its not the most responsive turbo out there...but there were a lot of factors influencing my decision - including good deal (price)..future plans..reliability issues etc. So new turbo in two weeks.... -

Paid up for the wing this morning...should be here by next weekend. Thanks Ricky This is what it looks like..............I am not too sure what to do with the "protruding nuts" yet.....might have to get inserts or something...But I cant really decide if they need messing about with until I actually get the wing in person...so will take a call when its here. For all you know they wont be noticeable when its painted black. -

Hahaha....Keaton Copy away man....I love it when people take the trouble to actually look after / maintain / do up their cars. Plus it will keep me motivated to keep doing stuff. I want that angry bird btw..im gonna do a photoshoot with it when I get my rear wing..... Which reminds me... I am finalizing a deal on the GTR wing....should be here sooner rather than later...will keep you guys posted. Also I bought the sandpaper and brake / drum / caliper cleaner this morning. Busy week at work so I am not too keen to do the calipers this week...but a nice rich glossy black with bright red writing is on the cards -
