Abcent,

repair work is alot more simple than a re-spray. Im sure you have allready been told this, but to get a car back down to bare metal & respray will cost you anywhere between $4-6K depending wether or not you have the door jams & engine bay done aswell. (Also it depends on the color you choose aswell)

I feel your pain, i had the same thing happen to me about a year ago. :)

Any ETA on when its gona be fixed?

:P trev

That really sucks, you need a baseball bat in your car for such an occasion. You need to know someone who is doing painting at tafe, it cost me $700 for the complete respray including door jams and some of engine bay. They fixed a dent in the bonnet (smash repair section) and prepared all the panels. When u compare that to what u gonna do it is worth it. In terms of colour, look at some of the new lambo colours and also the premium honda ones but they do cost a bit more. See you all in the morning. Berin are any of the other X1k ppl coming?

Talking to a few people about the re-spray next week, hopefully knowing a few contacts I can get it done at the right price, if not....white it will stay. Not sure on when I can get it fixed, almost have enough for my bigger injectors now, so the scratch unfortunatly will have to wait a month or two. I'll be selling putting my wing&bootlid up together for sale soon, after a stealth wing look now, then I wanna change the mags.....list goes on...:D it's all good :D one day:D

James: not sure if an X1K members are coming? not even sure if that even exists still?

reckon we should all just form a Geelong(an surrounding areas) section on SAU an organise our own cruise's, meetups, drinking nights....etc.

any thoughts anyone?

:P Berin

Was a great cruise......good turn out, great group of people. You missed out!!

should be another coming up in mid-late Nov? but not to certain on a date yet...

As my luck continues (getting my car keyed) I now have a defect notice today (Sunday)for being too low.....DOH' :goddam: . I was pulled over in Ryrie st in the taxi rank bit near the TAB :D (could they have picked a more public place?), at least I have adjustable coilovers so fixing the minor defect aint a prob at all, its already fixed, but still kinda annoying....the cop was pretty nice about it really, just doing his job i guess. At least he didnt put the yellow tag up, just got the blue slip which I sign myself to declare it's fixed and mail it off to VicRoads.

Whilst talking to the cop he asked me to pop the hood etc.... from my polite 10min conversation I had with him, he told me that becuase of the accident up top carpark recently they've been told to crack down on "modified" cars an "hoons" big time....and there going to....if you have a atmo BOV you can incur a $2000 fine (EPA fine), also you can now be defected for your big stereo (didnt clarify big) because with the vibration they create can weaken the cars structure by weakening the spot welds of the chassis etc (lucky i didnt have my usual 2 12" subs in the boot at the time)...kinda makes sense....but id say its more EXTREME nit picking!!! Ride heights, Tyres, tinted/modified (unroadworthy) head/tail lights, loud exhausts, power-weight ratio's (P platers)....the works.

so be carefull driving around geelong, "hoons" & "modified" cars ARE being targeted as a repercussion of the accident recently involving "hoons" in "modified" cars.

thought i'd give you the heads up rather than find out the hard way

:P Berin

should all meet up one weekend soon and catch up, bit of a meet & greet kinda thing, put names & faces to cars :D

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      By Jarsky · Posted

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
