I bought the same kit and had the same problem. Only front bar fitted. Where did you get it from. mine was from Speed Dreams. Shittiest mould ive eva seen. It can be fixed though. Very painfull expirience though. I suggest seeking a Proffesional. I know mine took them a fair while to reshap. If you do get it fixed. Take the opportunity to modify it slightly to give it your own custom look.

i got mine from motorkitz in caufield, worst business expirence! he was tring to tell me that the parts are made for the 4door r32 and you have to get the modifyed to fit 2door but when i brought them he said he fitted them 2 a 2door r32 and they fitted only when i rang him up and complained he changed his story!

i had there fenders fixed up they turned out ok.

what custom additions did you put on yours...?

Had my gaurds Pumped out about an inch and a half so had the kit widened to suit, Same when i put gtr gaurds on the front. Fitted a bit of checkor plate behind the number plate. Nothin to serious. I wanted to keep mine pretty plane. But depends what sorta look your into i guiss.

    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?  
    • Sorry for reviving an old post, but I'm having the same hot idle tick issue. Did anyone ever find out what it was?  I have checked/ replaced Injectors Coils checked Lifter clerance (is at zero) Checked Cam lobes Replaced exhaust gasket and studs Would appreciate any advice this is driving me nuts  
    • There's a huge reason manufacturers are tuning in dead flat torque curves... Make them reliable (and more drive able)
