Hi all,

picking up myself a 97 r33 on Friday and have already ordered a kit online to throw on it. Does anyone know someone in Perth that good for installing kits and painting? Preferbly near Bayswater or near a train line (so I can get to and from there easy enough)?

Thanks in advance! :(

My advice would be that you just get the kit painted and fit the kit yourself. It's really not that hard and you can use the extra cash on something else.

Honestly not much work if the kit was designed and made good, but if it requires more work for it to fit (modifying it to fit), then get them to do it.

Sorry I couldn't give a place which would do it though.

I think it may need a bit of work... will find out when it comes next week. But I also was thinking of doing a respray of the whole car too so I would defantly need someone for that. There are a couple of panel beaters around the area so I will ask them but was wondering if anyone new one that had done a good job on theirs before and could recommend. :banana:

But once the kit is on, painted and I get the new rims I will post a pic

If you're planning on respraying the whole car then yeah, just give them the car, kit and let them do everything. While they fix up any dents, they can modify the kit to fit perfect.

Theres only one decent operator. - Fibre vision in Welshpool

Last time I visited fibre vision it was a place that made kits not paint whole cars at any type of quality .Granted this was some time ago and unless the owner has changed then I could not see him being the only desent guy out there let alone desent at all .

I would recomend looking outside bayswater as well as there's great shops in Malaga wanneroo etc area .

I would also post up what you would be wanting to spend as this would help with where people can point you to .

IF it was just a body kit then I guess most shops would do a good job but if its the whole car then I would choose a little more carefully .

Fibre vision would not be one of my options for a desent job .

Getting mine done at Cowleys smash Repairs in Cannington when kit arrives, recomended by few forum members(Mitch & Steve) who had their cars done there. If u pop in to see Brett he's a very helpful bloke. Fibrevision was on the cards but ive heard mixed reactions with them. Also Dave one of the ex-Fibrevision fellas is now at Cowleys.

Search in W.A. section for more info.

Fair comments gents - i meant for fitment of aftermarket and fabrication parts not spray painting. I must admit it was over two years ago that i dealt with Fibre Vision - no doubt some other decent entities have also evolved and or persons that i have no dealings with - i was simply directing you to a person that i had personally dealt with and found sound in character and promise as prefer that ratehr than recommending on here say.

By the way - i have lost my contact for the Nengun style DO Luck GTR32 front bar - they were on E Bay - any one know where i can locate them or a bar please?

    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
    • I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from
    • Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!
    • Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
