Well, the saga continues. After my last accident the engine blew (replaced with rb25det :) ), and on both occassions i decided to upgrade rather than returning the car to its original form.

Now, i've just had another silly accident in the wet (my fault i admit, no comments plz)...and now i'm presented with a dilemma.

The damage is to the left-rear and is fairly extensive. I could either fix it back to normal, or get a full vertex kit, FB bonnet and respray the whole car. Either way the car is going to get a respray, but do u guys thinks its worth spending an additional ~900 on a kit? I currently got a GTR front bar with full type m kit.

I had a look at the for sales (cars) section and ppl seem to be struggling to sell their cars for the price they want.

What do u guys thinks? Should i keep pumping money into her or should i just do wats neccessary?

Any opinions? Does it ever stop?

thanx for the replies.

I prob plan to keep the car another 2 yrs or so..already had it for 2. Wasn't planning on doing the exterior until i hit 250rwkw but this accident has prompted me to switch priorities for now.

GTR front bar is def better but the vertex has the nicest ass i've seen on a 32.

Do u think the gtr front would go with the rest of the vertex?

In two minds atm....

lol

do-luck would be the sh*t...too bad my pockets aren't that deep.

ADZMAX - yeah, i've def learnt my lesson no more stupid stuff 8am on a sunday in the wet.

does anyone know a place that has do-luck replica? I've heard the original is in excess of ~$5K...thats a bit too much IMO.

BTW - i had a look at the blister kit - my car won't fit in the garage with that bulge mate lol

jap.com.au have the vertex kit for $500 atm - seems like a pretty good deal.

foznice - if i get rid of the bar, you'll be first on my list :kiss:

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
