I would go see Mick to see what he reckons. Because since you have the factory pearl paintjob you have to spray whole quarter and then try to make the pearl flow through the whole side. If that can't be done then the whole side of the car must be reaprayed

im after some super mega help please peoples. before christmas i said how i has someone hit the side of my car and need it fixed well im not sure where to take it i was thinking micolour but they are so far away so i was wondering if anyone knows another very good place a bit closer to me ( im from sunbury) and knows how to match midnight purple II. i got some pics of the damage, you can see that the plastic light shroud is cracked and broken but i have a new one that just needs to be painted. so if anyone knows or is good with this stuff please let me know. thanks.

oh god i hope not that will be so expensive. if thats the case ill have to go through my insurance to make it cheaper.

Might be a stupid question but have you tried cut and polishing it? just to see how much it does actually remove for a better look into it?

no i actually havnt and this is going to sound stupid but what do i buy and i actually dont technically know how to do it lol.

that would be great mate and if he cant fix it at least he could point me in the right direction and tell me what needs to be done.

cutting will get the white paint off from the other car

yeah but depends if he cab do pearls, repairing the broken part is easy

its the paint matching thats the hard part

just go to like autobarn or super cheap auto and ask for a fine/medium cutting compound

even if you do use a course one its going to need to be repaired anyway

in other news this is win

ok will do. and yes that 32 4 door is awesome i saw it before on facebook :thumbsup:

Splitfires came today and are in, seems like I have more power overall now - and that was in the wet so the 4wd system sucking some juice sending power the the front wheels.

Still a little late on hitting boost and I'm pretty convinced theres no leaks, maybe I have different turbos or something but will get the mechanic to check things out when I get 100k service done.

Tomei cam gears came today as well with 4 stickers (2 in each pack) :O if anyone wants one let me know

And above cars are SEXY MOMMAS

So the Splitfires really did make a difference..?

Although I have driven a R32 GTR with OEM coilpacks which was about 5 years ago... I don't recall the power increase... Or I am just use to driving with my Splitfires.

yeah i dont see why splitfires would increase power unless your others were that shagged and were misfiring non-stop

you shouldnt gain power going from std coilpacks to aftermarket ones, at least i wouldnt expect so

May increase the power but minimal that you can hardly notice...

Supposedly Splitfires give better spark?

yeah if the old ones are toast then you would notice better driving

spark doesnt make power

air and fuel do

change the ratio and you make more (or less) power

spark is just an ancillary to the mix

Yeah... To a point.

You still need 'Spark' to get power... I assume the bigger / better the spark, more so, the car runs smoother, rather then more powerful.

Well I really did notice a change, probably because the old ones were a bit rooted, feels a lot better to drive

Maybe its the splitfire sticker I put on my air deflector.. +10kw :P

You maybe right Leigh...

What I was trying to say was, I got so use to my Splitfires, it just feels normal...

dunno bout that but he did do an awesome job and paint matched it perfectly. i think its worth a try atleast, before he takes it in a panel shop and spends $11ty

I should buy that.

disappoint.

Looks awesome Nick!

You should have kept your R32...

you can make anything look decent with a bit of $$$

dont encourage him :P

    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much

    • 😜 hopefully we get this instead of a new R36 GTR due to recent financial problems at Nissan. Nismo to sell a complete kit with RB26 and driveline. All starts making sense (ok maybe not) once the Nissan Leaf's (Leaves?) with stuffed EV motors/batteries hit the market cheap
