so my mate just hit a tree whilst driving my car.

everything looks fine except my front bar is f**ked and there is a small dent and scratch on the bottom lip of the bonnet.

I was gona get a GTR front bar anyway so now i have some more cash (from him) to help with the purchase.

what is the cheapest way to get a GTR front bar purchased and painted and fitted in Perth?

1) Import from Japan and get it painted and fitted here

2) Import from Eastern states, eg. Just Jap and get painted and fitted here

3) go to a workshop in Perth and get them to do the whole lot eg. Who is good for this ?

4) buy from a group buy or Private sale, i have been looking for one this way for ages and they are so rare !

so what do you rekon is my best option ??

GTR's are fat little bastards.

the bar will fit fine on the front, however where it goes around the sides to meet the gaurds, the gtr has wider guards so it doesnt curve around as much, the gts-t has less wide gaurds, so it needs a 'slimmer' bar.

if you do call fibrevision, just be careful that the bar does actually fit a gts-t.

i bought a bar from them that was supposed to fit a gtst, but the mould was from a gtr, so while the fibreglass flexed and the top could be made to fit, the bottom flared out, looked U G L Y!

when i took it to a shop to get fitted and painted, it was actually cheaper for me to buy a whole new bar and start again, good way to waste $500.

(this was the apparently the case with all their gts-t bumpers, moulded off a gtr which was supposed to be a gts-t!)

I know Paul from Autoworx pretty well and I can tell you that they havent gone bankrupt and definately arnt going to! Its probably just one of those vicious rumours started by another dealer to try to stop people from buying from Autoworx. I know for a fact that Paul got so pissed off after hearing several customers come in and tell him that another dealer was bad mouthing Autoworx cars, that he banned this dealer or their staff from ever coming on the premises anymore!

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
