looks the shit.. good work

Thanx man gotta really thank my dad the most man f**k he put long hours into the car i mean there is not even an imperfection in it and if anyones ever sprayed a black car they will understand how hard that is. I got to buy him a johnny Blue or something :)

Umm well me and dad did all the prep on our own after work and late nights materials were around 700 including tapes paints clear hardener bog etc all the little bits and pieces and the john in dandy sprayed my parts for me bumpers skirts etc so all up from him it cost me 800 for his time to spray and the hire of the booth etc and he jumped in and helped out and masked the car up with us and was extremely helpful.

thanx man . I have a quick question do you guys think i should spray the bottom lip matte black like they come out or leave it as is? Because im getting alot of people saying not to do it but i have a feeling it will look more factory if i do it....????

Looks great man and just like new!

As for your front lip, it would not really matter as your car is already black.

Mine was painted Gunmetal Grey, same colour as my car and it nice as it blends in.

I probley do it if you had the Wine Red colour R32, the Matt Black front lip just sticks out bit too much, a big contrast.

yea your right but i just thought because its a separate piece it should be different like at night no one will care because its all black but during the day i went to a car yard it is pretty noticeable in the day looks mint. see how tho your going next Thursday to st.kilda yea? if so we can talk more then

cant wait till i can do this

nice work!

Do what?

If your doing it your self you will have so much fun just the whole process is like a learning experience and its great to do i mean now i can offer a little advice to people on the whole process and what to do and what not to do so its really good and i mean my face is like this :P when im driving it so the hard work and long hours did pay off.

    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
    • All Jap Day is coming up again! 13th of July this year. Are you going? Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 6pm. Please let Quang know as well. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1163155775853542   I still get shit from my wife for this photo because it is the happiest she has ever seen me. And it's not with her, it's in someone else's car.   Quang's EVO is sick, but that rotary wagon flying past was absolutely bonkers.
