Hi again,

Well its just about time to get the rear bar tied into the skirts, and perhaps change the front bar as its starting to give me the shits.

Can anybody recommend a shop? Prefer a place that supplied, fitted and painted. Or if not a good paint shop as I have this not too easy to match colour - red. Well it mightn't be too hard, but a couple of shops in WA couldnt get it right.

Also if anybody has had any bad experiences, could you drop me a pm - dont want to go upsetting anybody.

Thanks for your time

Steve

I gave Straightline Automotive Enhancements a call, and they just told me 'sorry mate, we dont do anything for a skyline'

Got in touch with Silins, different story, they are sending some photos - still to give Steve's body shop a call - soon....

Thanks for the replies:)

Im getting my front bar painted and fitted atm from tolley road crash repairs. I know there paint matching is the best ive seen, ill soon find out bout their fitting of the front bar. They said they have to cut a fair bit off the metal brace behind the original bumper but if it fits so be it..

Hey Matt, if you could get a price for SAU members:D off the guys would be great, just standard charge to fit and paint etc.

You have the same colour car as mine so if you can get a good match I will be very impressed 'cos its a bitch if you know what I mean.

Cheers

Steve:)

I would look at buying a kit from some one interstate or the likes.. And get Impressive Paint & Panel to do the painting etc.. Have seen some of their panel work (converting the GTS-t front and rear guards to GTR guards.) Sweeeet work.. AS is there painting.. I can recall where they are in adelaide but i can find out..

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
