Ouch... More delays, huh? :starwars:

Oh, I'm seeing Falcons in that Breeze colour everywhere now!

+1

Had a mate roll up in his XR6t yesterday... couldn't help but think "Yup. An R34 front-ended C34 will look ace in that colour"

ah that sucks to hear mate, there are no doubt places that rent out booths to use over your way? i know there are some over here

There is only 2 hire booths in Brisbane. $90-100 per hour plus bake time. So by the time you roll in, mask up and paint and bake it is around 4-5 hours :( Plus the painters cost

Worked on the car all weekend, meet with the painter/mate yesterday arvo everything was planned to paint it today. Get a text this morning at 6.20am, sorry mate can not do. I was furious :)

Spoke with my brother in law today who is a panel beater. His painter is going to do it this Sunday for $200. He sounds cheap, but he painted a mustang recently which got voted Australia's best. So it should could up great if my prep work is any good. Fingers crossed. :)

Fitted new sydneykids bilsteins today. The rear can only go to 340mm, they hit the tyres. Have 5 more grooves to go. The fronts have a few more grooves to go but the bottom platform hits the suspension arms, even after putting a 4mm deep groove in the bottom spring platform.

Should just leave the boody thing standard!!

Looking at new wheels. I am a bit over the R34 rims

Maybe these in 19x8.5 or 19x9's

These are 3 peice that way I can play around with offsets and not have to use spacers on the front.

With the R34 front being wider, I need to run approx 20mm wider offset than the rears to fill the guards.

With a type A or B disk upfront and C disk on the rear, should be able to keep the same dish F & R

Was thinking gold Rays GT-c's but the price is up around $4500 for rims :P

^^^ i do love the look of black wheels but am of the opinion that if you are going to spend the big dollars on gorgeous wheels (the 2 option you posted are prime examples) why would you want to hide them by blacking them out?

I agree!

If we were all made of money, how about Volk RE30's or CE28N's? Those would be my two picks.

I am a lover of 2/3 peice rims. Does not matter too much on center colour, but need the polished rim whit as much dish as possible.

That is why I am looking at modular wheels so I can get my offsets right.

I think most have seen my previous R33, ford blueprint with gold rims. plus 15 years ago ta22 celica in ford everglad green with gold B45's in a massive 15x6 with 195 tyres. That was huge back then LOL

Would also like a set of Duluck six spokes, but they have stopped making them

Picked up a pair of EVO 8 Recaro's yesterday for the fronts.

Just need to make them fit the bride rails.

Will be using series 2 manual back seat and door trims I have lying around.

    • Yeah the issue here is that we have a lot of topics, unless we matched on the exact word & phrase we'd get a million topics and the one you want will not likely be in the top 20 or so.
    • Yeah great idea, I have already added R32 Wiring Diagram but we can add as many as we want. 100% ! This has been something I've wanted to do for a while. I thought we could have a way for people to 'suggest' a link be added to the library when they come across something good.  We could kick this along by allowing members (maybe a subset) to tag threads they find to allow us to more easily find/locate/use good content, ie a tag 'for-library' which can then be added to the library and maybe have the tags reviewed and updated to better match the content. This would make it easier then to find the content when not using the library. We can also create pages that have lists of content with specific tags. That would allow us to add a tag and then have it automatically added to a page. We could have a page just for the 'for-library' content that we could then moderate and put wherever.  This excites me, the lack of structure with the amount of content is a little overwhelming.
    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
