The mesh came with my front bar. It was attached by screws so it was easy to attached and re-attached. Your bar may be held on by screws aswell so u could use the existing mesh and spray it black.

If u want to buy more mesh, I got some from my local Repco.

yea mines screwed in place but the pattern is abit to big for my liking any chance you could get me some photos of your paint lines (like the white/black lines around that grill area) so i can get a idea as to where i should mark it until, cheers mate and thanks again!

I don't really have a pic of my car which shows to line which separates the black/white but pretty much the part where I indicated in the picture is what i got painted black.

I uploaded another pic just so u could see it from a slightly different angle

I'm not too sure about the black lip, its up to u, its your car

yea looked at about 1000 R33 GTST lips, most of which were a complement to a CF hood which is what i think im more attracted to so ill probably troll around for a Ztune style cf/white hood and take it from their :wub: cheers again mate, you've saved me alot of dramas with cutting that damn badge mount :(

hey guys, thought you might appreciate a update on how the paint went, to put it simply... flawlessly :banana: didn't really have any major issues and i even ended up spraying all the mesh on the car black to suit :ermm: here are some pics for any future references (excuse the shite iphone pics)

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
