' date='12 Jun 2006, 10:53 PM' post='2250085'] awsome mitchy :) brett is a top dude :O

they brought my nismo frontbar back from the dead (almost 3whole days of work on it)

yeah.. i rang around a fair bit, everyone gave me outrageous quotes as they didnt want to touch fibreglass (but wouldnt admit it), and they were all reluctant to do any work on the car at all.

brett said straight out he would do it for me, and he has had the best price, quickest time, and best attitude of the lot!

when i need my rear bar modified for twin exhausts, i know where im taking it :D

Just remember who ever you go with to have patience, make sure you have a run around car, and make sure you get the total cost, including refitting and removing the windows. 32 front windscreens tend to crack when you remove them, so budget for that too.

Oh and take heaps of photos so you know where everything goes back too >_<

well its starts off as 3k upwards, depends what i want done. they said that they rub the car to bear metal and fix all the lil dents and stuff. i am only after the outside of the car done. so i am expecting around 4 to 5 k with the job i want done and i am in no rush. no deposit needed so i can just drop my car off. job could take a few months but as i said i am in no rush cause i need to come up with the money. first i am getting the full exhaust system and a FMIC on my car then i will be putting it in for paint. hoping to get a grand out of my tax return.

Lol no rush, by the sounds of it weve got months :D

Yeh mitchy your car should look interesting once its finished. What bar did you choose? and why black for the tail light surrounds?

chose the trust style front bar again, however it doesnt have the side vents anymore, no indicator cutouts in the front, and its designed for a gts-t, not a gtr like the last one.. :thumbsup:

black surrounds is just something different, will probably tint the hot-plates too.

might be getting some veilside rear pods too, dave is checking if he had some floating around. :D

saw your r32 sitting inside.. didnt even realise it was a skyline, thats how stripped it was :)

should look sweet come autosalon :)

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
