hey everyone while taking apart the rear bumper and tail lights..

i came across a small problem

i managed to take out the lights and put on the new ones and the rear bumper but

the middle garnish if flippen hard to take off lol anyone had the same problem??

i unscrewed the two bolts on either side of it releasing it but then there weas a middle plastis type clip thing..

ive tried everything to take it out

does anyone have a special way to release it?? or do people just break it and bolt it on instead??

thanks

do what ever you want! doesn't matter what everyone else thinks

but if you want more power you can try stroking it? maybe use a rb30 bottom end? bore it out or try some cams with more duration and lift? a computer? there are things you can do but at the end of the day your hp to $ ratio is gonna suck

i ended up changing the lights to stock

and i managed to get the garnish out

it lookss a shit load better alredy even though the rear bars colours a different white..

i just came across a few problems..

i added some pics on ere to show u guys what they are

the original exhaust tip that came with it when i bought it is blocking the rear bar from locking in?? not sure why when it would be at an average stock height to allow the bar to fit nicely over it??

also are there special bolts to lock in the rear bar underneath the garnish?? cuz the vortex bodykit didnt have bolts there only on the left and right side and by the looks of it.. the holes a shit load bigger then the original size on the car thats allowed.. what should i use loll?? got no idea?? double sided tape lol silicon lol no idea

ahhh is it easy to install half an exhaust on the 33? or should i get a panel beater to do that??

and last of all im going to do what everyone reccomended to me and paint the garnish white

is there a special paint you use?? or just a basic paint from an auto store??

cheerss

    • Interesting. My tuner said after the tune that my fuel economy would be better but it is the exact same from what I could tell even though my car was running rich before lol. How much do km do you reckon you get on a full tank of petrol on your commute?
    • A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.
    • Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.   
    • OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat
    • Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.
