ever since I watched Blood Diamond I've been fascinated with this watch:

http://clockmaker.com.au/w/k1106.html

I must try it on. From the description and photos it sounds like it's as big as my face.

But Leo's around my build and it seemed ok on him.

ugh... paint matching MP II.

fun.

good news, at least it's not MPIII.

bad news, it's MPII.

Was so tempted to paint the golf MPII, and powder coat the Work Meister centre matt black and gold plate the barrels :P Then I realised how much of a kent MPII is to colour match if I had a prang.

Least it's only a bumper and light shroud. If they got you on a quarter panel you would be totally f**ked as pretty much the whole side of the car would have to be resprayed because of the pearl in the paint.

which car got hit?

gtr got hit, looks like i might go through my insurance company because id only have to pay half my excess and it might end up being cheaper that way. does anyone know if midnight purple II would be hard to match with the rest of the car?

edit: thanks guys so looks like it will be hard to match the colour then.

we did an MPII GTR at driftline. had to order in a tub of paint from Dupont after getting Nissan Berwick to call them and tell them that they couldn't supply us with the original paint anymore. Dupont made the paint for Nissan, so they've got the exact perfect mix, but then we had to mix in some adjustments cos the colour changes on the car due to paint fade, polishes, reactions to the plastic/metal etc.

so in other words its going to be a bitch to get it done right.

kinda.

def get it done by insurance, and if anyone tells you it's an easy fix take it somewhere else cos you're dealing with habib spec spraypainters.

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
