Yeah, that is the bits that didn't really come off too well, will be getting some sanding disks onto that before it goes in for the cage :cool:

It will just clog up your sanding disks, use a hairdryer or heat gun and a small scraper. Once you have 99% of it all off use some thinners and wipe down the inside and it will come up a treat.

Haha, I read this after spending an hour or so clogging up my buffing disk, it just smears the stuff around. I also tried the thinners and it works a treat at cleaning it up. A few more hours with a heat-gun, scraper and thinners should have it looking good ;) Thanks for the advice :)

GO SLOW BITS

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought some bigger, and hopefully better brakes. All the bits arrived this week, but won't get fitted until the car is back from the cage builder, and I have bought some rims to suit, unfortunately the RPF01 Enkei's won't take the bigger rotor/caliper.

The existing brake setup was R33 GTR Brembo's, DBA5000 Rotors, PFC01 Pads, and Earls braided brake lines. Was pretty darn good, especially once I changed to the PFC01's, however I still think with a stronger brake setup that there is another second to be had at the track (Wanneroo).

The new brake setup is the AP 6Pot 355mm rotor, with ProjectMu H18 pads. I got a pretty good deal on all of it, and aslong as is works as well as it looks then I'm sure it will be up to the job. The plan is to try and squeeze these brakes under a 17" rim, which should be possible with a few different rim choices (i.e. LMGT4, TE37's, Buddy Club P1's etc).

INTERIOR DESIGN

Well I've finally had enough of cleaning sound deadening from the car, it's not perfect but its already consumed more hours than I care to think about. So I went to the local auto-store and bought some Holts Duplicolour in Dark Metallic Grey (as close a match to the factory paint as I could fine), and I started to paint the interior parts which didn't have any factory paint on them. The colour matches well, but the 150g can didn't last too long, so hopefully the paint comes in a bigger size can :happy:

;):( :( I think that was about the best option if you could pony up the cash. They will last take a punding year after year. :D

Good to hear you like the PFC01 pads too. They are about to release the compund i have been waiting for in a Porsche pad so finally going to get to try them....cant wait

Thanks for the advice on the brakes ;)

The PFC01's are awesome, only reason to try the PMu was simply the price, got two sets for the price of one thanks to there sale :O

Thanks guys :mad:

N/P, I have done a fair bit of wiring on my 32 (have a look in the motorspor section, Dane and I were talking about it and I put a little info up) and Im back in WA so if you get stuck let me know and ill help you out.

Cheers

Quick question about the rocker covers, Paul. Who painted them, and what sort of paint did they use? A mate and I are both getting ours done soon. :no:

Cheers mate.

A guy called Ross painted them (but was many years back, so don't think he still does it), but no idea what type of paint it was to be honest. Checkout some of the stuff that Craved does, will give you some ideas http://www.cravedcoatings.com/gallery/gallery.html

The car is still getting the rollcage installed, hope to pop out there over the weekend to find out how it's progressing.

Me driving this thinking it had to4 when it really had GT3076 = lolz

What actual rwhp have you got with that turbo?? I was under the impression the GT30 series would make about the mid-400's before running out of puff, but I recall you saying it still had around 500. Just interested to know because once I get the 044 installed (only thing stopping the car running more boost) I don't know whether to stay with my GT3076 or get a GT35, not much point getting everything done & re-tuned for an extra 20hp lol

Didn't realise you finally got another sticker, but remembered you saying when it did only then would it become full-on race car. Will be good to see this down at Barbs soon :no:

Yeah, the TO4Z was much more insane to drive than with the GT3076R. When it had the TO4Z Brad turned it around within 30meters of leaving the start line at AHG ;)

With the GT3076R we're currently pushing out 486rwhp, but that is fairly pushing the turbo/engine. For most street applications I wouldn't expect as much. Hoping that when we convert to E85 we can easily get 500rwhp but without having to work the engine as hard.

Hoping to get it to Barbs within the next month, as I just spoke to the cage fabricator and he said I could probably pick it up on Thursday :)

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
