Jase, not that it helps now but to remove the double sided tape use a caramel wheel. My mate debaged mine and used this to easily remove the tape and gave the car a cut and polish. Can't tell there was ever a badge there.

Spent about 3 hours scrubbing away at the double sided tape/foam that the japs must have used for aerials. Unfortunately the previous owners never bothered to remove them so they were pretty much rock hard.

Also debadged the rear end.

Going to get some quotes on how much to spray my wing black/spray my new grille and fix a small dent in the passenger door and most likely respray the bonnet tomorrow. Previous owner did some "touch ups" that most people would refer to as graffiti. I'm hoping I can get away with all of that work for under a grand. No idea though..

How bad is it? I have a card somewhere for a mobile guy who does amazing work pretty cheap.

If you could trust him on my GTR can you pass on his number :thumbsup:

Yeah it really needs a cut and polish now. All of the tape has been removed but it just needs to be cut back to get the layer of crap off of it now.

They aren't that bad, just a hell of a lot of them. At least 10 chips on the bonnet that have been touched up.

I'll see if I can find his card and PM you guys. I want him to look at mine too.

He did some work on the front of my parent's old Audi Q7... couldn't even tell there'd been damage, and he did it all in their driveway for bugger all. From memory they found him on Solitare's recommendation.

Oh, and my BCs turned up yesterday! :banana:

None of my new stuff will be in before the cruise but I'm hoping everything will be done before the track day, except maybe the Emanage. Have to work a couple of things out first.

Yes very happy about the coilovers. It only took a bit over twice as long as I was quoted in the end :whistling:

You going to the cruise? Should try and make it, I want to check out this trans cooler and radiator!

Not sure yet. I have a birthday party and engagement party on that day. Of course I know none of the details. If you want to check it out sometime though just let me know. You're out north east, yeah?

I'm north, but yeah I'll be driving around the place on the weekend so if you can't make the cruise I can drop past some time.

If you haven't got the details for the cruise let me know, or PM Big Fella and one of us will send it to you.

Just got a quote from All Type to do my bonnet/wing/grille and a general tidy up around the place. Not half bad pricing, and from what I've heard - very good reputation. Just gotta wait until the wheels go on in case there's any.. accidents. :whistling:

+1 for All Type Crash

Went there to get my flaky spoiler and some front end damage from some idiot in a shopping centre fixed.

They did a good job, in a short time at a good price. Ruby also got his respray there and while I was there saw 2 other stags getting fixed so they know how they go together/come appart (c34's atleast)

Having said that if you go to Willaston Paint and Panel and tell him (edit* Matt) that Glenn in the yellow stag sent you he'll sort you out

Hayden's a champ, and everything I've seen from All Type looks awesome.

Today I ordered my HDI intercooler. Just have to decide on a power steering cooler, then I can order the trans cooler too.

Anyone running an engine oil cooler?

I don't think it's required, even for track work, but I would be keeping an eye on the temps...

I think Jetwreck has popped a P/S pump due to trackwork. But tend to agree, cooling p/s fluid for non-racecars might be a bit over the top... (Because Racecar... you know)

Interestingly - my car has a small stock P/S fluid cooler - just a finned U bend, sits just behind the grill.

I spoke to Craig last week, he said he'd found a power steering cooler was essential, and a trans cooler was recommended.

Looking into it, g35s and z33s seem to all have had stock power steering coolers, with Nismo and Stillen making enlarged aftermarket units.

So Im confused why we dont have one, but I will get one soon, just have to finish my research. :cheers:

Because our car was not really designed as a ..... Track bitch......more of a family cruiser.....had they done a sports version of the m35 like the 260rs.......well we have all seen the 380rs haven't we!!!

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
