Yeah, I was just testing the black bonnet to see how it would look. I don't think it needs it.

I already have the black/chrome lip SSRs ordered. Clear indicators are done.

Same front bar and similar sideskirts.

Will get a TRD wing (similar to that) and then a nice rear to finish off.

If I get bored with red then I'll do a full respray later on. Fitment/spray of just the kit will only be like $1000 or so.

Sounds like a plan :kiss:

I think I like it better than black on black.

Red with black wheels and polished lip = Nice!

Instead of creating another "what panel shop" thread, I'll ask here...

Where should I go to get the kit fitted and sprayed?

First priority is quick turnaround, because I need the car to get to work.

Should I trust DT Panels? :kiss: lawl.

dont man, get a respray based on quality

most companies can do a proper paintjob and fitment.... but it will cost

from what ive heard DT's does cheapish jobs for most people, if you spend the extra youll get a better job (yet i dunno 100% cause they arnt who i go to)

edit: and jezza dont get a quick job, make sure its done properly or expect to pay twice when it f**ks up a few years down the track

Try bayside autostyling. Think they are also cheap and from their project pictures it looks good. Go check them out. If you want a PROPER paintjob and bodykit fitment go see Sam at PAC.

I heard reallyyyy bad things about them, from a guy that used to work there and quit because of the way they treated the cars.

Apparently they just rip off door trims, chuck them on the ground etc....

And other people have told me that they did burnouts in the cars.

I dunno whether it's all true, but I guess they can't do much harm when fitting a kit.

They charge $1500 for a full respray (colour change) so bodykit fitment must be cheap as chips.

haha yea you said cheap so i suggested them, i wouldnt take my car to them lol. But seriously get a quote from Sam at PAC

what's wrong with the supra?

It's for sale. I have a maxed out credit card and $197 left in my bank account after wheel money is put aside.

And rego is coming up soon lol..

So basically I won't be spraying anything until the Supra is gone :kiss:

Niggaroj got quoted 10k by micolour for his r33 in the standard r33 black. now that woulod be quality

you'd be mad to do that unless its a fk off show car nobody needs a 10k paint job on a daily car. Especially when the car is worth 10k at best

is everything ready to go and have you got cash money ready to pay now? might ask our painter if he can fit in a job before we shut up shop.

1 day for dropoff/dismantling, 2 days for prep (if you're using fibreglass cos that shit never lines up), 1 day for paint, 1 day to reassemble. drop it off monday you'll have it on friday.

We're not cheap though.

"It's for sale. I have a maxed out credit card and $197 left in my bank account after wheel money is put aside."

since when u do paint work funky?

I don't... we have a guy that does paint and panel at the shop, Shane. It's all he gets paid to do. He's currently finishing off all the outstanding jobs atm... including CR34M :kiss:

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
