Hi guys.

How is everyone? Better than me, for sure! Recently I took my car to a shopping centre, did my shopping and returned to my car only to find the front bar had been damaged! I believe it is repairable but would like to purchase a front bar with or without foggies as it would be easier just to respray one.

If possible I would prefer the front bar to be in Silver, include the foggies and be located in Sydney for pick up but all of these are not expected, I am quite flexible in this regard.

Would anyone know a good smash repairer in Sydney with reasonable prices for repairs and resprays as I am considering doing both. I am a bit worried about some suspected rust in my boot will get pics up as soon as possible as I am not sure on the what it is and/or how worried I should be!

If anyone has any information, please let me know!

Regards

Drift King

Hey guys,

I just got my front bumper resprayed and repaired last week.

Initially all I wanted was the lower bit fixed up because I cracked it going over a bump. But when I got quoted $150, I thought what the heck ant do a full respray for another $150, so $300 all up.

They did a great job, the front bar even felt more solid

I used xtreme-bodykits at warwick farm

They take the bumper off and you drive drive around without it for three days before you go back and put back on.

Speak to Frank @ 'Caldwells' in Condell Park

Tell him I sent ya.. he's very reasonable and also very good.. did the bodykit on my car and re-sprayed my wing to match KENNEDY's car, where it now lives :ban:

BTW.. I am selling my M-spec bar without the lights, if interested please PM.

    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
    • Got the front subframe and suspension in.    
    • If it's cold in summer, then no issue. If it's cutting out every few seconds and you're not reaching your target temp, then there's an issue. One could be the pressure switch and the other issue could be the temp probe inside the evaporator.
