That kit is far to untidy, 

Wrap the bonnet with a photo of stock engine bay, that way you'll look at it and say "that's tidy engine bay" :P 

Sent the rocker cover out to craved coatings and got it done to match the rest of them IMG_4744.thumb.JPG.6afa6134301a3d4fee17e346f645c60a.JPGam going to uncover the writing on it due to the candy looking different there compared to the rest

Parts are back from ceramic coating IMG_4822.thumb.JPG.5cf3f8ee475476153faf90d50043a1e0.JPGi also bought plugs for the original oxygen sensors because I no longer use them and they will just be in the way when installing the turbos

I then grabbed a die grander with basically a scotch bright pad on it and attacked the powder coatIMG_4833.thumb.JPG.7f2c88345b2389c350619f4fe737f249.JPG halfway done

IMG_4834.thumb.JPG.2353981157b2bd15f90050fd90bca345.JPGpowder coat gone and then I ran another pad over it to give it a machined look

Then got to fitting it to the engine IMG_4836.thumb.JPG.04867ea540bf3c0762a2b3f6934ce1f5.JPGhere it is fitted to the engine

IMG_4837.thumb.JPG.df0c7aade7b3e1f6dac59e3e349b01ce.JPGthis comes with the kit and of corse is the reason the kits costs so much lol

IMG_4838.thumb.JPG.a9df0418147d17669701275a29de6702.JPGand with all the sensors and oil cap fitted,

Had some time today so I decided to spend it playing with the car IMG_4822.thumb.JPG.d009be87cb63945f4e5725c08b67dc90.JPGIMG_4844.thumb.JPG.5f6d12c7e23b38252856bef4d6e73724.JPGfinally unwrapped all the parts I got ceramic coated, it's a shame you won't see them once they're installed 

And finally the turbos can start going on, some people will be a bit disappointed IMG_4824.thumb.JPG.28e6ae604b5f998129b74c4849a2e97a.JPGIMG_4823.thumb.JPG.f5c51bbaee14e0635d24ed4146f4b0bc.JPGbut I'm staying twins (that was never a secret) and they are nothing specialIMG_4825.thumb.JPG.b6560843efd7188c06aba5905a80ef37.JPGjust a basic set of -5s with very low kms that I got for a price way to good to pass up

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
