This was a while ago, i wasnt happy with the results and their professionalism (i.e lack of).

Things mite have changed since then, but i doubt it.

you are correct, nothing has changed

on the other hand, I got my CF bonnet from carmate also, top blokes really helpful.. even tho they said they had one in stock and didn't and I had to wait 2 weeks (box was labelled CF and it was fibreglass) it's top quality.. They import most of their stuff.

jetspeed didnt do any of the prep work on my kit, it was done by someone else, and they did a very good job and took alot of care. They also hate Jetspeed.

My kit sagged, was gaps....later i realised why they refused to give me a Jetspeed sticker (i didnt know shit at the time), they didnt want there bad workmanship displayed for all to see.

The kits dont kit properly because they are made poorly to start with.

Jetspeed make this particular rear bar for hondas, any honda, and from the many MANY cars in my area that have that rear bar, it looks like its One Size Fits all job.

Not uncommong for gaps measuring in INCHES, but this may also have something to do with the buyer and how cheap they are.

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
