VERY cheap, but thats cause it was mates rates. Depending on how much panelbeating your car needs depends on the price etc. And prev paints that have been on your car etc

Jeasus, haven't updated this in a while :lol: Not much to say about the Datsun its locked up for winter having a break. 300ZX is goin strong had it tuned at Rapid Performance couply weeks ago made 304rwhp with only boost up it, bone stock otherwise. So fun to drive right now! Funny watching GTR's disappear in your rear vision mirror :badgrin: :badgrin: Only thing holding it back was the intake temps gettin too hot need bigger intercoolers/exhaust. And ive done the dirty and bought myself a rotary :lol: :dance:

Its usually bout 4-500 bux, yea definately he's a GC use to have a 300 himself. Mine got put on the dyno twice tho cause one of my tyres delaminated lol. Made 376hp at the motor which isnt too bad for a 22 year old Z. And its alot better on gas!!

:badgrin: I'm back! Decided to get my A into G and start working on the Coupe, radiator was rusty as from sitting for ages (slap on the wrist last rego finished 1.5years ago :lol: ) so gone and got that recored with more tubes. Same time checked out the front mount found it had about 3 holes in the back of it so went into Heat Exchangers Hornby and got them to recut a brand new bar and plate core into the SR TMIC with far better flow and cooling (apparently). Changing the BOV as I found that it was leaking also so just finding a way to mount one ATM.. Got all new silicon hoses and T clamps for the intake make it all flashy flashy. Then its going for a trip down to Timaru (dash is already out) whole loom is getting pulled and rewired with a Haltech ECU installed and a new tune wooohooo. Dont know what plans Ive got after that but it will be good to be back on the road. Def might look at putting adjustable front suspension setup in it now and maybe change the rear for bigger beefier axles and maybe disc rear end. Dont really have any idea on rear ends but ive got a B2000 rear in my Mazda and quite impressed with the performance of it compared to other peoples Hilux conversions etc Seem to be a way better diff. Hopefully be going before Xmas :guns:

I have a Really nice C200 Solid axle diff in my garage that im putting togeather for Dan & Pips 160J

Its basically an IRS R200 with some tubes stuck onto each side. The bonus is the LSD's and bearings are pretty beefy being that its for a truck. And Because it can take an R200 CLSD it means you have the choice of R200 LSD's use the truck LSD or a tomei or whatever takes your fancy.

If you want to check one out in bits your welcome too any time.
