i dont think it would be that hard unless you would rather pay someone else to do it. i painted my calipers myself - piece of cake, and have painted the front of my sil80 myself which sam though was resonable ok - well the one that i though didnt need attention which i was quite happy coming from a spray painter himself.

Be sure to spray the car when it's not cold. :D

 

or. Hire a heater. :rolleyes:

ive already done that mate. hired a heater and compressor.

i successfully sprayed one front panel and front bar but felt that the others were not how i would have liked it to be. thus why im asking someone if i could borrow a compressor for a few days or else i would have to donate that money to kenndards and the likes. plus now i have a gravity feed spray gun whereas i had a siphon one before. would make life easier since i can now spray bodykits at home, yiipeee.

you're welcome to borrow mine Duc - I just had a look at it - it is only a dodgy el cheapo GMC one, but is brand new - I haven't even fired it up yet.

1500W 2Hp

tank capacity 24L

206L/min tank displacement

117l/min free air displacement

0.8MPa max pressure

these numbers mean nothing to me - maybe they do to you?

24L tank is a bit too small, you would find yourself constantly running out of air pressure. you would really want a minimum of 50L tank and 3.0HP, to keep air pressure consistantly above 3.0 bar. what spec was the last compressor you borrowed?

im back in murray bridge atm, i help my dad out with his hospital appointment.

im keen on going to mallala, ill let you know. yeah, hopefully the weather will be like last sunday. im heading down to adelaide tomorrow, more carport work to do :( have you sorted the air-compressor out?

i havent had the chance to sort out the compressor as yet. Probarbly go and look at some today @ kennards or usual place i hired it last time from. Having said that, im not sure if im going to get it though because if its raining on the weekend then theirs no point to it.

Has shaun got the block/heads etc back yet so your car can be put together?

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.

      Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated
