Well,

Top Secret Front and rear diffusers made 100% Carbon not the 1 layer crap Top Secret supply

Carbon Fibre Z tune lower side skirts and rear pods

Carbon Fibre Nismo Front bar ducts the 2 that go on the standard front bar

Looking at doing something with the rear wing too

There's a good start for the outside,

Just gotta make some time to do it, working on a Carbon Fibre R32 GTR dash currently

Oooh, let me know if/when you look at doing anything carbon for intake - hint: carbon pod enclosure

I got the same pods as you, and i was looking at doing something. just not sure what.

just working out the legality of pods. mine are securely bolted to the chassis with brackets, but can you still get booked for not being enclosed?

no the undertray front splitter, but if you can PM me all the parts you can do for a 33 as I want to add some more carbon to my cars diet :laugh:

Also i will have to PM you about a repair for a garage defend panel that was damaged in transport. But I will take some shots first.

So bit of an update time....

As some of you know my car got rear ended in March... stupid commonwhore driver.

I was really worried that the paint was going to be the biggest challenge but the challenge was sourcing new parts.

After tsunami's and stupid customs the parts finally arrived...

There is 3 Companies I need to give a plug to and thank them for being as patient as me during the 6 months.

1- Chris @ Audio Express My link for sourcing new parts from Japland through the mayhem of tsunami's and Melbourne customs brokers, the parts got here and now my car fixed. I have now got the Carbon bug once again.....

2- Grant @ Exclusive Auto, Newstead My link They perfectly matched the Midnight Purple III paint and repaired my car.

3- Les @ Fat Pipes, Kallangur My link They built me a beautiful new exhaust which is much better than the original Kakimoto system I had.

Here is a few pics to update where I'm up to, including pics of the new exhaust. I will get better pics when I put it up on the hoist to do my brakes.

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
