Thanks for that Ben, I've been to Blackmans before so I'll give them a buzz. Wasn't entirely happy with the job they did on my door trims, but hopefully they don't flock this one... wait, hopefully they do...wait... :wacko:

Steve: That would be handy for door trims actually, butt for the dash I wouldn't bother, I reckon flocking will be easier.

Tacker: I saw those kits in the states, don't know if I'd trust myself!

Stuart: I've left a message for Blackman's about the dash, so I'll let you know what the cost is. The Alcantara looks the goods mate. Any more update pics? Wanna swap? :wacko:

Steve: I doubt it mate, won't be ready... as usual. I'm still waiting on my plenum... and those Porkas really tempted me... :)

I think you could tell if I'd done it Steve!

Was done by a local upholstery guy that does some race car trimming work including re-doing suede steering wheels.

Was $100 or $150 from memory for all three pieces which I was pretty happy with as sourcing replacment plastics would have been heaps more.. my ones were all scratched from when I got the car. He also blanked over the heater controls and ashtray to keep it tidy.

Took the front and much of the engine bay crap off it last week.

Trying my new seat that arrived today later tonight along with further distruction... not sure how the seat will go as it has head support wings and its a tight cabin space.

Like the carbon detailing in the boot (in the vents and washer bottle hole)?

Looks the goods mate, and that seems like a really good price for the retrimming. I'd be happy with that!

Steve: After doing Haunted Hills, I think the clubbie has had enough track stuff for the moment. The brakes are on their last legs and I want them to last me to my next service :wacko: And it's just not as fun as in the 180...

I want to get my dash flocked or alcantara...ed too!

I can stuff it up myself for free, but has anyone found a place in Sydney who can do a decent job of it?

Marlin: I've always wandered if those engine damper things did anything... What did it do that makes you love it so much?

To reduce glare.... I really really really should have thought twice before opting to paint the entire interior bright white :P :P

Those guards look hot.... You're gonna need a little more race tape though :(

lol, i just started painting my interior in silver hammer tone....

If you see them up close they look rubbish, but thanks for the compliment :P Rears are ok but the front left is terrible. pop rivets and bog can fix that though.

      Oh, oops, yeah, I'm getting the cams in the 2.5 replaced, so the above factory 2.0 cam specs don't mean 5hit, but, after alot of googling it seems the factory 2.5 cams don't like to rev So, yeah, there is that 🤣

      Update - new drop of oil noticed. Leak seems to be continuing, but a slow/small one.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Hey y'all! So I am the owner of a shiny new '99 ENR34 25GT-Four, 5spd manual. Took it to the tire shop to get new shoes. They mismatched the front and rear axles (225/40s on rear, 225/45s on front), so AWD system went bonkers for the next day. Took it back in, they fixed it, but I noticed about 8-9 big drops of red fluid in my parking spot. Leaking has stopped, but it's clear that the transfer case may have been stressed/hurt by this debacle. I'm taking it in for inspection tomorrow. If things are FUBAR, I have a few questions. - ENR34 manual transmission transfer cases seem impossible to source. Can a GTR transfer case fit? Or if not the whole thing, just seals or components? GTR is 6spd, mine's 5spd, so I'm thinking no, but lmk. - Finding a few RB25DE NEO AWD auto transmissions for sale, for decently cheap. If my only option is to swap to auto, what else will I need besides an auto-specific gauge cluster, and associated wiring? - I imagine the R32/33 GTS4 transmissions/transfer cases are a no-go? They're not NEO engines, so unsure. - RB25DET/4WD setup from the Stagea, any parts that transfer over? I did search up for this on SAU and google, very little info covered.   This is my first post, so apologies for breaking any rules, please let me know, and thanks for the help.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Thanks. I agree, looking at those plugs in conjunction with good compression/leak down tests I'm not too certain its ring related anymore.  I have a Swagelok ball valve on the drain and tubed it lower down to the left side of car to easily dump it into a container. I do not drain back into the sump. I've never had to drain it though as there's never been any oil in it.

      Best chassis for motorsport use

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Best bang for buck at the moment would be a 86/brz. Good chassis,  plenty of aftermarket support and parts everywhere.   I just picked one up with some quality gear and it drives better than my old 180sx.    Also depending on what your doing and budget.  An a90 supra is my pick if want to spend more. Great chassis, solid motor, gearbox is good. Development potential is crazy. They are doing well in prod sport and time attack. All the old jdm stuff needs alot of work as most of it all bent and over priced.
