And to make me stab you ;)

2530s shall do me just fine but at this stage it's still going to be my 2860-7s. SOMEONE buy my turbos!!!!!!!!!!! Haha no matter what I put in I'll always want to go bigger better faster. I can't help myself.

I saw some losers at Gunners with a 33 GTST with a GTR badge on it. Parked mine and got out and they watched me pull up and were looking at me... As I walk past I just simply said "At least mine's real". Hehe they didn't say a word.

Just a little update.... Car is going to be sprayed on Thursday at this stage. Wheels are fixed and getting delivered early next week so hopefully they're looking good.

Bottom end of my engine is about to be assembled. Was a bit of a wait on a few extra studs and things that we decided to change at the last minute. Hopefully will have some piccies in the next few days. The porting of the head is almost finished and Greg is going to do some flow testing.

Happy days, it's all starting to come together!! 4 weeks without my baby so far, wow it's been a long 4 weeks!! :P

Id stick with the genuine R32 one, maybe get some new red on it and some gloss

Also coilpack cover I leave on, but everything else that matters is ceramic coated (turbos, manifolds, dumps, fronts) so the only heat will be coming from the actual motor in mine. Its not hard to pull it off though or vice versa, definatly get it sprayed at the same time with the other covers though :blink:

R32 badge is dead to me. It won't even be the same colour as the car anymore so 34 badge is going on. Also matches the front grille badge. Coordination is a good thing!

As for covers I'm still undecided. They're all getting painted up anyways so will see what Ed wants to do when he puts it all back together.

So if nothing goes wrong I'll have it back in 2 weeks!!

I'm just waiting on a call back to confirm where the engine is at.

Paint is finished, car is getting put back together as we speak. Colour looks damn awesome!

Will be back at Autotech on Monday ready to get it's engine put back in ;)

    • I'm interested if anyone agrees with what you've said, and can give a good reason. Temperature of powder coating should be below any temperature you'd use to alter the wheel structure.  Powder coat typically 200 to 250. Annealing if that's what people are claiming would be occuring, starts at 300, and depending on the alloy, can need even up at 400+.   That's the only part I can think of that could cause an issue that people are believing it's from the rim losing hardness and becoming too soft.
    • Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.   Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches. Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch. If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.   Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.
    • Anyone know if it's a problem to powder coat forged alloy wheel centers (Rays/Volk GT-C). some say it's bad and can damage the alloy, some say it's not a problem.
    • Hey guys, I'm reviving an old post but I'm finally getting around to working on this now. I removed the battery to get a better look at the wires and i traced the wires from the headlight to the fuse box in the engine bay, but the wiring looks fine? The wiring for the R/H headlight is 3 wires and then is bundled up with the large diameter wire that goes underneath the fuse box. I didn't take it apart yet. I know you said that its a short circuit somewhere between the fuse box and the headlight. But could it be the headlight switch on the dash? Also, i pulled out my multi-meter and set it on the Ohms, but i'm not sure where to put the negative probe and the positive probe.     
    • I have a 2 lt in Sydney. It was fitted on a R33 GTR, not used for several years . If you are interested email me on: [email protected] I'm not on this forum much .
