  1. If @Corbie or someone can collect asap then I can try meet him somewhere in the next couple days and grab them before I head to Taupo on Friday.
  2. ^ I heard of a guy having that done but had to weld centre back in after chrome which seems pretty retarded to me. Bumper Replacements do a nice job but are expensive. Progressive Electroplating are also decent
  3. I don't believe anywhere in Nz is able to it for a less than a crazy price. If they would attempt it at all. Something along the lines of the cost to build the anode jig to be able to throw current deep enough inside rim and spokes to get an even coating. Thats if they have the power capabilities to do something that size aswell. That was what the owner of Progressive in New Lynn mentioned anyway, but its been a while so my memories probably not super accurate. I've had things like pulleys done and the insides always turn out a bit shit because they weren't jigged. Probably best your mate just rings a few places to get the more accurate yarn on it.
  4. Nek minnit windscreen washer systems have to comply with efi fuel system requirements because rainx and other wiper fluids have meth in them lol.
  5. Would depend on the mixture ratio as to whether its flammable I would assume. Fuel/surge tanks can go in engine bay provided they are behind the wheel/suspension centre line and meet the usual fuel system requirements.
  6. Have a chat with Mark Haynes at Revolution Engine Services. Hes big into water meth.
  7. It was a while ago since I got the last set done, so my memory might not be too accurate, bit I vaguely remember Nicholai saying the Hipercoat can reduce temps outside of the headers by up to 60% or something along those lines. It definitely helped our application and stopped the paint discolouring from the heat.
  8. I feel like this needs an added element of danger to it, so gantry injection would be quite fitting.
  9. ProCoat arr local to me in East Tamaki, but hes really difficult to deal with and never delivers in the timeframe he says. HPC in Manurewa are worth the money in my opinion. Nicholai is a good sort and always helpful. I'm not sure about any others sorry.
  10. Prob depends how slammed you are and the size of rca compared to amount you are lowered. Not sure how bad the bumpsteer gets on those cars. Would be something cert man decides on at time of road test.
  11. This kinda thing. Would need a mis-alignment spacer to stop it from binding throughout suspension travel. Have to check that it would actually help your situation by the time a mis-alignment spacer is fitted though.
  12. If you want to get crazy, and you are certing it regardless, you could possibly replace the tie-rod end with a heim/rose joint. Either drill/ream the taper to be straight for a snug fitting bolt, or have a tapered adaptor machined to suit. But yeh, would need to discuss with cert man first, and its a bit of work.
  13. Had this issue with my Gmc. Drop spindles and stock 15" rims cause clearance issues with tie-rod and lower balljoint. They like to peel off wheel weights. I found a smaller bodied tie-rod end which helped a little, but I also decided it was sensible/easier to have a few mm slip on spacer lasered to suit and be done with it. Don't bend knuckles, not worth the risk.
  14. Hey @cletus I owe @Goat a favour or 2, so I can handle this one.
