' 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 :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
