Yea been reading for awhile, just had little input, my F&F memory was failing me haha..

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/393468-volk-racing-te37sl-wheels-with-or-without-stickers/page__st__20

Check my post in there regarding wheel stickers.. getting pretty keen for gold ones! let me know what you guys think?

We will fix the F&F problem!! Lol

Checking link now

ah thats good then.

yeah cause rewireable fuses are illegal now, if you touch a circuit that has it you have to redo everything.

i mean i could probably do it but i wouldnt be happy about it lololol. plus it may hurt your pocket a little. idk, maybe 500-1000 with everything done by me, including your garage. but thats a fair guess

hmm... dunno ant,

i kinda see it as, are you doing black on yellow or yellow on black, adding yellow when your trying to put more black in could look a bit odd?

could be a bit over the top you know?

though if i saw it id probably like it so idk. see what others think i guess.

I hope there are no OH&S peeps in here :P we may fail to meet safety requirements

No OH&S at home

True story time

When dad and I were building a clubman we had it sitting on a table in the garage which was on wheels donated by woolworths or Coles and we could wheel it around the garage.

As the car was only sitting on wooden blocks on the table there was only 4 inches clearance between car and table but this night we needed to do something under the car so we wheel the table over to where the chain block is.

Now the chain block is attached to an RSJ that is in the roof of the garage and we used a seat belt between the hook and the car and winch up the rear of the car.

I grab a jack stand but dad says no need it's only a two minute job, he climbs under the car does the job and crawls out.

The very second he is clear of the car the seat belt breaks and the car comes crashing down onto the table.

We ALWAYS used jack stands after that so maybe OH&S should be applied with vigilance in a home garage

Yeah it's pretty old school here :P but that gives me something to work towards.... Cheers man!

Ant, not convinced on the red.... If the yellow/gold matched your car then it'd be good....

I won't go under a car without stands etc... Even doing my diff bushes before Texi, 10min job but put stands under, found the jack creeps so I was happy I thought about safety for a change!

I guess im looking at it as the wheels were meant to have these stickers onit, red really wont go with my car imo.. and the only other colour that rays makes the stickers in close to my car colour is gold.. they wont match the yellow exactly, they will be a little more subtly than bright yellow, and could break up the wheel nicely?.. they will match the brembo calipers in gold though too!

dunno what to do really ha..

a seat belt? lololololol

whats the SWL?? bahaha

At least 300kg

When I worked at a wreckers I would cut the seat belts out of the car and use them for slings to pull the motor and box out of the car

Never ever had one break before that night in the garage

I guess im looking at it as the wheels were meant to have these stickers onit, red really wont go with my car imo.. and the only other colour that rays makes the stickers in close to my car colour is gold.. they wont match the yellow exactly, they will be a little more subtly than bright yellow, and could break up the wheel nicely?.. they will match the brembo calipers in gold though too!

i think go with the yellow Anthony, (not the fluro ones on the new SL's) they will look the part.

I'm buying a set of knock off TE37's soon and putting the red ones on (buying a set of real SL's after my move - too many bad stories about rims disappearing during transport for my likeing to do it now)

yea ive got the red already which it came with.... i think i may have to buy the gold ones and just see.. i played around with the photo shop some more and even if i dull the gold right down, it still looks good imo..

i kind of had the same trouble when picking number plate colours, i went for black and gold, the gold doesnt match but ties in really well imo, so it may work the same way, as the yellow wont be spot on the same, and im not sure if it would look too bright if it did anyways?...

yea not keen on the fluro, just sounds abit gay really haha

Yah, Fluro is Gaids!!!

But you've made all the right choices so far with the car so I'm looking forward to seeing what you choose ;)

    • yeah i agree paint match stops it from standing out so much, oh that's actually really good to know i was wondering if it would help with air flow now actually having an outlet in the bonnet. Will have to focus on ducting into and out of the radiator now to make the most of it.
    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
