mad082 Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 -i removed the rear springs and cut the front ones. there are plenty of VNs in town that are sitting on bump stops. i've seen a xd falcon with a eb GT front bar on it. and a vh commodore with a vr front bar on it.

Dav Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 used a drill to cut out a hole to put the cooler piping through, this left sharp edges so i wraped an old sock around the pipe so it wouldnt rub on the sharp metal.

ctjet Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 oh i forgot... kept blowing the cooler piping off on high boost so we drilled a hole through the piping and threaded copper speaker wire through the holes and around the pipe. Problem.... solved Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/162210-dodgy-things-you-have-done-to-your-cars/page/2/#findComment-3015044 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SECURITY Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 there are plenty of VNs in town that are sitting on bump stops.i've seen a xd falcon with a eb GT front bar on it. and a vh commodore with a vr front bar on it. commodores were meant for this kind of treatment i think. i went through 2 motors and a gearbox. i was driving it around for a few months with a failed main bearing on my 2nd motor till i sold it to a wrecker for $400. its a huge piss off though. i spent around $5000 fixing the thing.

Abo Bob Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 I've painted a car with house paint once. Looked great. Preparation consisted of one of those green scourers. The dodgiest thing done to the Skyline is no soldering, just electrical tape on any wiring I've done.

gts-4 dreamer Posted March 29, 2007 Share Posted March 29, 2007 once had a corona wagon, only car i ever smoked in, never cleaned, kicked allot. the roof had been filled with chiprock and plaster as the metal had rusted away. chucked some sheet metal over the top an brazed the sheet on from the bottom first ofcoarse then chip-rock + plaster with housepaint finish. got a hole in the rocker cover so distinct lack of compresion so welded on some sheet metal then proceded to weld the cover to the motor. all compression issues fixed. had a leak in the exhuast which made the most anooying whistling sound so pulled of the rear muffler, found something of some other econo box @ reckers that matched ish to the brackets and just stuck it in there. car came for free, sold for $400 to reckers. did tell him most of hte car was not metal and he still offered me that much for the shitter dodgiest thing ever done to line took of S2 wing and added 33 r wing with rear brake light. never skimp on anything when it comes to the beasty, solder and even bloody heat shrinks etc. love my common whore of a 33 I DO!
