*Bluprint has fond memories of Leshy turning up 2 years ago and leaving his car there, then coming back near the end of the show after going home for a nap

Hey, I was really really hung over that day, give me a break.

Also my car is not a skyline, sorry to burst the 30 car bubble.

With the Count just there and ppl having non Skylines in the list, I now have the tune "one of these things is not like the others...." from Playschool in my head ;)

I've heard of people putting there 32 headlights in the oven, to seperate the glass from the plastic backing to modify the lights etc, don't think you could do it with the indicators though.

4 weeks Till Marques in the park btw.

Yeah, I've also heard either oven or a heat gun to seperate the glass from the lighting assembly, then I guess you just glue it all back together when you're done

The soarer ones were the same deal. Don't do what my mate did and forget :P

Thanks guys,

I'll have a go with a heat gun first, I dont really like the idea of putting $200+ indicators in the oven...

bullet32 go and buy some Meguiars PlaticX (http://www.meguiars.com/?clear-plastic-care/PlastX-Clear-Plastic-Cleaner-Polish) and use that. I use it. Works wonders... just make sure as soon as you ploish it on POLISH IT OFF ,, it tends to stay on otherwise.

For once I'm prepared! All booked in with Details FX :P

hmm went to them last year and was not impressed. They did great work on "what you can see" i.e. main panels.. but they did not do the "nooks and crannys" .. eg when you open your boot the side of the boot wing,, the engine bay was a dissapointment too.. just my 2c

the best place to go is the place down the back of the shell servo in Woden. They do an awesome job, best detaillling ive ever seen. Though my car (and prob many other liners) can make it down their steep driveway (due to low front bars) :(

Are you sure your not talking of details fx in your second post they would be in that general area ??? I found the work they did on my skyline and forester was unreal on the surface but i agree they could have paid a little closer attention to some of the nooks and cranny's

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
