Bodgy kits R33 Watch OUT!

[MrGTST]

Yeah.... Very Pleased with my purchase..... I have had it about 8 months now.... Unfortunately though with the front bar being so low it is getting a little worse for wear from the bottoming out it recieves every so often.... I dont think it would still be up on the DC Import site though so I can't point you to a picture of it...

Very scmick car though...

Regan: Do you know or have any other way of finding out what it had in the way of mods before I purchased the car??? I know I got it with the full exhaust and air pod but it still seems to have an unusual amount of go behind it??? The only thing I have noticed is that it appears to have had some form of gauge mounted on the steering column????

Thanks

Brett

[Mr. Oizo]

so.. do you have any other pictures of it?

[MrGTST]

I do have one picture of it I copied from the website when I bought the car but that is on my PC at home ( am at work now )

To clear up any confusion my front bar is black not that grey in the other photo too

I will see if I can dig up the photo... I will post it tommorow if the file isnt too big. One thing to remember though is that the Rims have changed since the photo... I didnt like the 3 spoke rims that it came with...

[Mr. Oizo]

if it dont fit.. e-mail it to me..

Hi

The front bars are $580.00 incl GST freight to Melb would not be cheap @$80-120 I think ,

Note*** these bars do require some front crash bar modifications to fit and would need some additional supports to be fitted.

Cheers

Hi Brad,

Glad to hear your GTST is going strong, the front bars can be repaired as they are very thick at the bottom and can be repaired successfully(unlike the paper thin ones) I think the grunt with your vehicle is due to the dump pipe arrangment I think it is a quality unit Trust? I think yours was the first one I have seen and your right ,does make a big improvment to performance. It allways confounds me that guys spend big $ on A/M computers and AFC,ect and neglect the exhaust system remember air+fuel =power!!!!

Back to work now!!!

Hmmm I thought it was a HKS???? Either way it seems to give a great note and some serious power..... Now just in the process of adding the cooler and the boost controller and away I go....

[MrGTST]

Well as requested by Dark, here is a picture of my skyline when I piucked it up... As I said thought the rims have been changed since...

[MrGTST]

Hmm Itried to attatch the photo of my car but it apparently is too large??? ( The file is 643k )

Can anyone help me in posting this???

[Mr. Oizo]

e-mail it to me.

[Mr. Oizo]

[Mr. Oizo]

yep.. got it..

thanks..

[Mr. Oizo]

thats a nice car..

not a fan of the rims though

[MrGTST]

Thanks.....

Yeah I got Regan to swap the Rims for a Nice set of 5 Spokes..... It made the overall appearance of the car much better.... I have been very happy with the complete package so far

My car is suffering from a dodgy GTR front bar...

What can I do to fix it short of coming to you in WA?

[Mr. Oizo]

try a body shop in melbourne.. i'm sure there are some nice ones around.. that will do a good job for you

Hey regan, Nearly actually bought my car off u as well but by the time my dad got around to putting a deposit down it was sold - which is fine as it was a n/a and i really wanted turbo and what u had in turbos was limited at the time. But i recently worked with a guy that used to work for you as a mechanic by the name of todd - good guy!! My kit for my car - the back wing came unstuck and so eventually did then front spoiler - but the main reason for that is because its been lowered quite a bit and drags on the slightest hill so its been my own fault but the back wing is a bit dissappointing as the boot buckled for no reason and one side came detached and the other side cracked a little (GTR kit) fixed now but i think with kits you have to expect a bit of maintenance now and then even with my parents hsv's parts of the kit have needed attention. Anyone buying a skyline in WA i would recommend regan...... although not sure if u do many skylines now days tho.

ive actually had a didgy GTR bar fitted to my r33, been a long time ago(4yrs) i didnt know too much about this sort of thing. Im am sure that the big metal bar was cut off int he process.

I also know of another r33 with the same thing happen to him.

To make things worse, the shop i got my kit from is a very well known shop(J.. S....), but the service was shocking and pathetic.

Im a bit worried now about my front, and ill need to rectufy it soon, it is a worry when the well known work shops are performing nasty works like my example.

Beware fellow Sky' freaks
