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.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
