Hi Autoabarn,

I am literally about to go to Carmate and buy a C-West style front bar off them. But noticed your thread. Ive asked around but I cant seem to get a clear idea as to whether their kits are any good. I have an original Cwest bar now but just cracked it on a low driveway and i dont want to go and buy a brand new 1 again, way too expensive. Anyways can u give me a quote on a R34 Cwest front bar or veilside front bar OR would u know whether the one at carmate is any good. Thanks in advance, BTW they quoted me for $450.

i have not seen their r34 c-west kit, but their stuff is usually good for price.

dont forget peter at body form he is bit of a master at glass repair give him a call on 02 97272788 he should be able to repair the original easily. we do it here all the time.

thanks champ. Im pretty sure the bar is way 2 damaged 2 repair but we'll see. So u cant get the bars i wanted quoted on ? and wow that was a fast response.

i smashed my first vertex kit in half, then preceeded to drag remains for 300m. even though i lost parts still came up like new. i will chase some prices.

sorry, but if this is the one on your car i can do it for $450 frieghted. it is not my mould but a buy-in so its probaly from the same initial manufacturer. because of the freight to sydney $80-100 i can not better the price.

Car Mate has the carbon fibre bonnet for $1050.00. Are you willing to match this price?

i already have. $1050 plus their frieght charge from sydney $100 plus $50 insurance equals $1200. i refuse to do it without insurance unless i have it in writing from you that if it arrives damaged you will still accept it. i have lost two to damage already.

Thanks for the quote on the CWest front bar. Yeah those pictures are of the right bodykit but im pretty sure thats the kit for the GTR. Anyway, thanks for at least being able to match the quote. Ill get the kit off carmate cause i can just drive down and get it. Thanks anyhow your prices are great and i might get my panel beater friends to get quotes off u 2 now since u seem to be a bit cheaper. Do u have a personal email address ?

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
