Im after a name of a fibreglasser in the mandurah/rockingham area to fix a front bar... its only a bit of patch work but a bit more than a bog fill... i have a place to respray it but i need a little bit of glass work i believe. It needs a few stress fractures fixed underneath the paint work as the previous owner hit a trev in the ass.... and together with my effort on a cruise the other night its looking a little dodgey...

If you are going to the madora skill swap day you will see it there, maybe i can get some advice off someone that day..

I like the front bar i have so i will patch if i can...

Thanks guys,

Alternative: I get the Veilside i have been dreaming about....

Dont even think about that faggy ass vielside one.... take a look at pauly's car to see how it looks :)

As for glasswork... if it's superficial, im sure the panel shop that's spraying it could do it for you?

I'll take a look on sunday, a few of my mates have fixed up small stuff by themself :P

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
