Hi guys,

I need to get a tailored or custom car cover for the GTR. I want one preferably cotton or with a flannel inner to protect the new paint from dust and shit whilst it's garaged. Doesn't have to be water proof but it may as well be.

Anyone know of a place in sydney? and any experience with them, or prices?

thanks.

use some of that spray on latex you have in your bedroom

Hahahaha

Richard, i saw one at Supercheap for $25 or so that fits my GTR well, but its not water proof

I know its not ideal, but ive got a heap of fabric ready to stich onto it so the underside is very good for the paint - may look like shit but it will work

I had a look for a cover exactly like you suggested but couldnt get anything that i liked

Hope that helps

I'm using an Autotechnica one from K MART (think it usually goes for about $130). I just use it in the garage but it would be great outside also as it is very thick plastic / pvc and is then lined with some type of material similar to flanellette. Covers the whole car to the ground.

Years age we were looking for a place to buy a cover for the old man's Audi, which only gets used around once or twice a fortnight, we ended up using a few old flanelette fitted bedsheets sewn together, which works a treat. The car is always indoors, so we don't have to worry about wet weather protection anyway.

And now I find out that this place is LITERALLY around the corner from us... Might have to go and check it out.

The same place Richard is talking about? Small world!

I have one of these and I think it's great. Anyone that knows me knows how anal I am about paint and scratches too.

I bought it when I had an integra (so it's the small version, doesn't fit the 'line.. doh!).

It has a soft lining on the inside, is waterproof, and has breather holes with "flaps" to stop the rain from getting in, and stop condensation underneath the cover.

Car covers are a pain though. Do not EVER put a car cover on a car that has a warm engine... anyway, I'm sure bb knows that.

The Autotechnica covers are also available at Repco.

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?

      100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!

      ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
