theres also a new shop... Works Auto Accessories in bentley,

1164 Albany Hwy, 9358 1800

I haven't been there myself yet, mate works there and he said they just got heaps of R33 kits in. Another place that can get kits is Evolution-R in bentley, I was thinking of getting a 400R kit from there when i had my series 1.

Chris.

JiMiH:

That's not actually true dude. In fact, I don't believe any of the bodykits that the Spoiler Shop stock come from Fibrevision. Personally, I am a personal friend of one of the blokes that works there in the sales section and can tell you straight up their kits coming directly from suppliers and definitely not Bruce (Fibrevision). Can I ask why you thought they buy their stuff from Fibrevision?

Everyone else:

I'm sure if you go to their Spoiler shop and ask for Daniel and tell them you are from the Skyline's forums, he'll make sure you get a good price. I know they look after the Silvia club too. They have club discounts available and I know several forums members have already bought products from there (myself included). In fact, one of the Fibrevision employees now works for The Spoiler Shop as a full time fitter/customiser/spray painter!

I only say that because I went to the Spoiler Shop and asked for an R32 GTR front bar and they said $xxx. I then went to Fibre Vision and theirs were a lot cheaper, so I asked why. Then Bruce said that he supplied the Spoiler Shop with their gear, so they had to mark up his prices.

Sorry mate I didn't mean to offend ... I should have got my facts straight first before posting :)

No worries dude. I think my mates a bit pi$$ed off that Bruce is telling people that. I rang him after I read your post and he's the one that asked me to ask why you got that impression. Very interesting about the price. Obviously I don't work for the spoiler shop so I can't say why there is a clear difference in price, but I will make them aware of that fact. As I said, mention your are with the Skyline's club and Daniel should give you a better price.

Take it easy:cool:

Yep that would be David, ex Street Weapons owner/proprietor. He left Fibrevision a while ago...

He painted/touched up some of the Panel's on Skye's Purple 32 GTR. :)

And I'm with you seriesIIgtst...

That's cool mate ... if Bruce is telling people the wrong info then your mate has good reason to be pissed off!

Sorry if anyone got the wrong impression by my post :innocent:

But on another note, I agree that both Fibre Vison and the Spoiler Shop do great work ... I have seen examples of both and think they are very good.

what kind of cost are we looking at for a whole kit fully painted and fitted? will a 400R front bar and GTR wing look nice?

fitted and painted you'll be looking at

$3500 for 400R front bar, factory skirts and rear pods and the GTR wing.

i dont see why the spoiler shop is so expensive, im sure the kits are copies of originals, its easy to make a mould and copy.

You can get a complete commodore kit for half that price, from somewhere like the spoiler factory, OK they only do commo stuff, but the prices and build quality are far superior to the spoiler shop.

Just cause its an import they think they can rip you a new one.

as an example, a 180sx front complete, 650 just to supply it, no paint. 300 for a front lip. Commo kits are half that price, and physically bigger, and require more work.

im sick of people thinking import owners are stupid enough to fall for that crap.

The spoiler shop will never get my business, i havent tried fibrevision yet, next car maybe.

its not so much they assume import drivers are stupid. they see how all other parts for import cars are more expensive than the locally made cars. eg performance and spare parts. and so increase their bodykit prices accordingly, either way its bloody pathetic!

having said that looking at prices for do-luck, veilside, kakimoto and other kits in japan just makes you laugh.

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
