Bonnet $770 From Blits Bodykits, however i do have a metal S2 one i paid i think $220 for from PanelHouse in brisbane (I needed the original for them to mould off) lights came from Japan Autos and were $389 each. Front Rio was $180, Grill was about $80. Front bar is completley different so u will need to allow $500 or so for one of those as well.

nothing good ever comes out of mister kiet's comments

lol.. you have noticed that too? :yes:..

Anyway

UPDATE: Bodyshop tried to "F*CK" me with the price, wanting an extra 2G to paint the front end only (no full respray). So as I have painted quite a few cars previously im just going to do it myself then pay for a full respray at a later stage, or perhaps just hire a booth and do it myself once again. It really pisses me off that they can quote, then put it in the too hard basket after being advised of what was being modified/replaced once sighting the car. I know there is a bit more work involved in preping fiberglass but come on $3500 for Bonnet, Front Bar, Rear Bar, Sideskirts and Rear Bar is a joke.

The only person you're belittling is yourself. Quit while you're behind.

Gaurds are now for sale. PM me if intrested. My insurance company would not insure the car with fiberglass gaurds however the bonnet was fine. The vent in the bonnet had to go there so as it didnt leak water all over the rocker covers and go into where the coils live :banana:..

Also i will be painting the car this weekend. Am not going to be doing a full respray right at the moment however will be doing the front bar, bonnet, original gaurds, blowing through the front doors, rear bar and sideskirts. :banana:..

I love how this is turning out, one of the best R33 GTST's i've seen, i'm loving it.

The bodykit looks really quality - you have put in alot of work and it shows.

Yeh, unfortunatley the kit was a cheap crap chinese one that was so out of shape it wasnt funny, ovbiously been fixed now but if u see anything coated in blue, its from china and cost someone approx $35 per piece landed, so do not buy it unless you have inspected it first. I'm a bit annoyed I had to take the fiberglass gaurds off though especially as there ADR Approved, but the cars insured for $20G.. and its not worth the risk losing that much cash is something were to happen to it.

I'm trying to work up the motivation to go into the garage right now and start blocking back all the parts. :banana:...

I HATE SANDING WITH A PASSION!!! Blocked back first coat of primer today on the Bonnet, Sideskirts, Rear Bar and Bonnet today... Repaired metal gaurds and put them in primer and guide coated them and then gave them 2 more coats :D.. Tommorow i'll hopefully have everything painted. Just have to give everything a couple more coats of primer, rub it back and de nib it :P then time to lay basecoat and clear!.

I'm assuming the lights were second hand for that price?

      Fake ARP bolts?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol.

      Nismo copper mix twin “pull” pedal height engagement

      By ck_chino · Posted

      Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks
