The one at the night is 550 from Sydney tools. Pretty serious investment.

Why don't you check out waxit, forum trader. They have some good kits available with pads, polishes, and a Random orbital included.

Sorry, I should say, you can buy the random orbital by itself, and use the products from the guys at motor active. Bit of poor form telling you to go somewhere else.....

;)

Heres my car after going through the exact process that Owens bonnet went through as promised! ;) Only cam phone pics btw,But damn its hard work by hand! Need that orbital lol!

D: that's exactly what I want at the moment... yellow evo 9 :(

Looks great Mick :thumbsup:

Probably should see in the flesh to truly appreciate it though! Any "before" pics?

As Matt said on the night there are fewer worries with a non-metallic clearcoat paintjob as well as swirl marks aren't as obvious. But it's great knowing you put in the hard yards to get that level of finish

Thanks Matty :) I do have befores but it actually looks shinier :( lol but its not in the flesh though. Hopefully if the weather is good this weekend I will see you on the charity cruise Sunday :)

I saw you walk away from MotorActive towards your car with a spring in your step Eric > You knew exactly what you were going to do with that wrap!

Love the "Yama-Shita" motif :)

^

Ahh, same Mick_O on the evoOz build thread I'm following lol

Do want that toxicfab manifold

Haha yeah mate that's me :) can't wait for all my goodies to turn up! The toxic fab manifold is a nice bit of gear Dave I scored it for a Damn good price too lol!

Love the rims on your car Eric I think I'm gunna put them on the evo but in black. The wraps looking good too :thumbsup:

    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
    • Did this ever go further ? Would love some updated info
