Boostzor i have a nice pic of your cracked wheel and damage to your car from the last cruise where you hit the curb? that would be a sweet avatar... hmmm thats an idea i could use that as mine!:cool: J/K

Anyway *Ahem* I read before that you can get the pressurised cans made up from panel beaters, any one know who and how much? all i really want is a smla can just to do a touch up of the bottom half of the front bumper (damn lowered car goin over BIG speedhumps!)

Yep good 1 mate:D Thanks alot

Ill take what i need and give it back sometime next week or friday.

I think from closer examination i should have been going 30-40ks faster through that corner. That way the angle would have been right but seeing as i wasnt it flipped back on me.:eek:

Maybe a little more accelerator was in order:confused: :burnout:

Heya PVA Glue (and everyone reading this :-p )

As promised i did a bit of investigating on saturday Marlows in Morley do the spray can colour code matching. didn't ask how many ML the can is but i would say standard size. Just give them the code and they will make some up in spray or standard touch up. $20 for spray can dunno how much for normal paint but i thought $20 aint too bad seeing all i wanna do is touch up the bottom of my front spoiler. might just do a few coats with the stuff and let you know how it goes.

Can anyone tell me when i have done my coats with the paint they make up for me do i need to buy like a gloss or something to make it shiny and smooth like the rest of the car or should the spraycan be good enough due to it being a exact colour match??

:confused:

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

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

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

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
