im not too cluey on stones and gems, but surely these arent worth as much as theyre selling them for.... people into healing stones dont usually have a few grand to spend on them (or do they?)

also, considering getting my TE37's powder coated in red. anodised aluminium coating is a bitch to clean, and was never a fan of bronze.

Edit: hadnt even thought of plasti-dipping them. might do that for starters.

sold a 2 door n/a 33 for 10k a few years ago dem p plate laws.

manual and coupes will go for about 1k more usually, maybe more. Mine was pretty zippy enjoyed it on my Ps. 123rwkw bro, dat healthy engine.

Probably liked it more than my GTR to be honest. (like fun vs price, obviously GTR is the better car.. ) used to do some fun shit with that little n/a. Maybe I was just young and stupid.

cool. might consider. would like to rock green wheels for a bit.

thanks for the tips, was looking for a new powdercoater since the one on cochranes rd is a bit of a joke.

kit looks great plattsy. might snap it up now, will do it over weekend. yo alvin, if i buy the kit you can borrow spray gun for $20 and provide your own lime?

[Plattsy]

no worries mate, i bought one litre of matte black, enough to do micra front bumper, grill and bonnet, still have about 250mm left.

maybe buy the litre and have spare for touch ups?

warning, the freight is nasty cos its dg.

i'll just buy my own. Any excuse to get more tools, is a good excuse.

was under 20 bucks. not too shabby.

farking e-toll from hire car last week keep taking my money. f**king direct debit should be shot.

[kaitoukid]

Considering whether I can be bothered spraying my lancer stock enkeis...

[Plattsy]

honestly ish, this stuff is a piece of piss, clean rims, wash down with wax and grease rem, spray. leave for 10 mins, spray. repeat until thick as you like.

then clear coat it if you want it to last longer than a year!

[Leroy Peterson]

what kind of clear coat?

farkin e-toll karnts. 3 days of tolls cost me $54 with the hire car. only overcharged me $2.80 on one of them. not worth sitting on hold for 20mins to argue. when they say use of toll roads will only cost $3.30 a day = normal toll cost + $3.30 service fee + exceeding 100kms a day in hire vehicle fee (which they never told me about). city link is espensive

lesson learnt.

[Plattsy]

if you whent matte, use satin cc, if gloss, then normal. just make sure the vinyl wrap is fully cured before hand.

Yeah, looks alright! Moreso if it was worth it, when I'll probably get a new set of rims altogether type thing haha.

Although this might (probably will) mean new tyres and coilovers... So nek minnit 3K purchase lol...

Yah, white. Haha maybe .

Hey Guys, is this car too good to be true? http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1999/SSE-AD-2134462/?Cr=21&sdmvc=1

I'm in the market for a 34 non-turbo and this one looks good, a bit too good.

Clean on the outside / Engine bay looks nice too...

The Km's are getting up there...

Big hole where the stereo was suppose to be...

High price to milk it out of P Platers as the car is P Plater friendly...

[blah_blah]

What's the most powerful cheap JDM car you can get these days?

Guessing one of them VTEC hondas? Just go with that IMO

N/A skylines are slow and 4 doors are ugly IMO

[kaitoukid]

BB6 would pull pretty nicely imo. And could be leather interior etc notbad.jpg

But might be getting harder to find a nice example.

Also K-swap little EGs?

S2K,86 my picks if budget allowed.

EP3R coming down in prices, I think, too.

[Count Grantleyish]

VTEC Honda's are overpriced for what it is IMO.

[Leroy Peterson]

cheap, powerful, aus built car with japanese parts (ie, best of both worlds)... we all know the answer. SSS.

FTOs in manual are quite quick, P-plate friendly and coupes. got a face only a mother could love though, and parts are difficult + paint fade is common.
