Hey got a series 2 r33 gtst, had my gtr bar (copy) hanging on with 3 screws for a year now.... anyway the other day it may be holding by 2 screws now lol. Plus some decent cracks through the fibreglass.

Has anybody repaired fibreglass?

Got any info on where to get it from and how easy/hard it is to do?

Anyone got it repaired before?

Edit: Just bought a GTR bar and wing, good price... and yes i'll look like a tool with a wannabee GTR, but i think its the nicest kit around, its not over the top. Besides i still hae my old gtr indicators so that would be stupid to not use them seeing as i already have them.

New question is how much is it to match and paint a front bar and/or a spoiler? And where is the best place to get it done?

cheers

Ive been using Binding Prestige Panel and Paint in Brookvale (Northern Beaches) for years (who's a Mercedes specialist), he's worked on all my cars.

Including my R34 a few years back, it was border line write off from a serious rear end collision, but insurance insisted on repairing it, it was a 20K repair job and I also had a total respray. I'm actually glad I had it repaired now.

Basically everything behind the back doors (except drivers side quarter panel) was replaced.

Couldn't be happier with him, he did a top notch job on the R34, when I got it back I put it up on a hoist and the workmanship was 2nd to none, and 3 years later it still looks brand new.

If you want to talk to them speak to Frank or Terry (father and son who own the business).

after i had put a new gtr bar on...

its not going to be painted for a while since i'm flat out at the moment. I actually installed the front bar while organising shipping containers and trucks around so fairly decent job considering i was doing 5 jobs at once...

albert i'm either going to get my old one repaired myself or swap it as is for a slab of beer, i'll let you know how well i repair it lol

lol but mine was just minor cracks and a scrape from our shit roads in nsw lol.... you hit a bloody wallaby or something lol.

Should have left it unpainted matt, then we can go to OP and be the "Misfit skyline crew".

Coincidence we both bought our cars from the same importer????? I think not

lol....looks exactly like my car a few years ago.

lol cass, did you notice that every pic you post on this forum has got you with a helmet ahah!

I need to protect my identity! I'm pretty much like the Stig, except I can talk and I suck at driving :(

nawww don't pick on matt because he is a prepared driver, he just likes to protect his nogging from injury at all times

What can I say, I need to protect what little brain cells I have left :P

private sale, but it has a sticker on it that said "car mate" had a phone number aswell, but its scraped off already because it was at the bottom of the lip.

I got my old one that needs repairing and new paint to make it look brand new again, i couldnt be bothered doing it, you can have it for a case of carlsburg?

If i had a way of picking it up i would give you a case for it. i already have the same bar but i want to get a second one so while i also repair my other one i can still have one on the car,

ive already fixed mine once before but letting my sister drive was not a good idea.

lol,

Genuwin gtr or gtr replica should be able to fit in the cabin of an r33 with no dramas, i had a gtr replica bar and a gtr replica spoiler in my cabin a few weeks ago, just had to put the front seat forward, just make sure its clean first coz then you have to get the vaccume out lol

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
