Gold Star Metal Finishers

41(A) chapman Rd

Hackham 5163

81863311

They do 3layer chroming not sure on prices but will be paying them a visit during the week :D

+1 Gold Star

When I built the bike last year I tried a few people around Adelaide........Don't go out north for for any chroming, I had a bad experience out there with bubbling & pitting.

Other than Gold Star I would send my stuff to a mob in Melbourne.

Depends how fussy you are at the end of the day.....I wanted a finish that would win shows.

No... i just dropped off my timing cover to be chromed on North East Rd.

I was thinking of getting other stuff done later, so I'll check out Gold Star next time.

hey 4door, dont know about that NE mob......the mob I had trouble with were right out north, but having said that, they refunded 85% of my money and acknowledged the work was shocking so I suppose I forgive them but you know what they say, "once bitten twice shy".

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

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

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
