Im after one too. I just got ripped on ebay, paid the money plus courier fees to WA and the bugger nicked off :P

Im looking one for a R33 GTST, but dont want 400r, veilside or GTR copy, but thats about all you can get these days. Sucks...

your monthly expenditure would go sky high if you bought that do luck kit, and the double six rims.. :)

however i would have to touch it if you id buy it too, so damn nice!

I am planning on having the car 10 or so years (touch wood) and the kit+rims will come to around $5000 before paint and fitting B)

If I will, these are the only rims and kit that I'd get :P

Guys, be real careful buying 'cheap' kits. I, like many others, have beeen bitten badly, ie, I was quoted $1000 to fit the damn front bar cos it was so badly out of shape and in such poor condition.

I also bought a bar from a local manufacturer, and I had to get it redone 3 times before it was right - such a screw around.

It seems like you will pay either way - either pay a bit extra and get a decent product to start, or buy cheap and start saving like hell to get it fitted (then often it wont look that great anyway).

If you buy a good quality kit, it will cost alot less to fit - net result is it may actually cost less, and you have a quality finish you are happy with (eg, I bought a genuine front bar, and it fitted straight up, perfectly)

There area few places that sell genuine, such as C-red (Msport and Wise sport), team jetspeed (the qld mob, not nsw), D1 Garage (origin lab), and also, there area couple of places that do VERY good copies, such as monkey warehouse in Qld. the thing is though, the price for a good copy wont be hugely cheaper than genuine, as a good product takes time to manufacture properly.

good luck with the hunt.

got a link to the auction or his account?

normally you have to do something stupid to get ripped off on ebay, just want to see if the theory still holds.

That is the nicest looking R32 body kit I have seen in years. ( anyone know more details about this kit? )

Do any Australian suppliers stock Do Luck kits and rims?

I like the look of the Double Six rims and the T2 3 Peice Kit....

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
