Hi guys,

I was having a chat to some guys that specilise in import & custom body kits, & they said that they could take some moulds of my body kit & start manufactoring them, if they get sufficiant interest.

They also said they may be able to make a kit similar to the MASA kit for about 1/2 the price.

Carbon fibre bonnets/gaurds would be no trouble either.

Regards,

Jeff

<<<< Thats the kit in my avatar.

prices would be around the same as what you'd pay for a good quality kit for a commodore/falcon/skyline/supra. so about 600-800 for the front bar, 200 each for side skirts, & 600-800 for the rear, all un painted & without lights.

They just said that it would be no trouble to do C/F stuff, & didn't quote me a price.

At the moment, I'm just trying to gauge the intrest, to see if it's worth their while even doing it. They need at least 1-2 orders before they will take the moulds. I'll get back to you all on more firm prices in the coming weeks.

carbon fibre bonnet ftw! the kit is nice..i'd be interested in getting a copy of the front bar as i've already got skirts and the same rear bar.

did you talk to the guys at motovation? graeme told me he was getting a mould done of the same kit..

I NEED the the Masa side skirts and rear bar to go with my front end conversion

The Masa R34 conversion guards arrive next week :O

Have not decided yet to get them copied or not.

When they say they can make one similar, do you have more details

I have the money and ready to order if that helps.

darrin, if you are gettin em copied let me know. I can get you a good deal with a fibreglasser (maybe free sideskirts and rear bar... I'll have to ask though).

I would love to do a deal

What type of skirts and rear bar?

I would like to copy them, that way if I ever break them, I can get a new set without the hassle and wait from Japan.

I can try and convince em to buy a masa side and rear bar, to go with yours. Stagea's are getting very popular, so I'm sure they'll want in on it enough to front up the cost of moulding it. If you have any other preference, then let me know.

I wouldn't!!

My stagea is all for looks, so bring on the fibreglass (got the 19's already ... well and a kit as well, just not sure on the f/b atm!!).

I've already got a car for power!! :O

each to their own, but i'd much rather get the car going good and look standard then get it lookin like a 260rs and stock, then making it go better after.

ive never been a fan of wild kits and fancy add ons, much rather the goodies under the bonnet, and when im done i might add some skirts and thats about it besides some rims.

different horses for different courses i guess :)

r34 gtr front might be an option in the very distant future, but not for a while yet.

cheers

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
