I know they charge a lot..I asked for quotes before, charge me somewhere about $800 for a fibre glass front bar copy...so I went somewhere else..

Where did you go for your front bar then?

I am actually after a body kit for my 'line at the moment and still doing research on where I should go for.

Cheers

My Skyline had its BodyKit done at Fibre Vision (with previous owner), I have receipts for front bar, skirts, fenders and rear bar $6000+! Bit of an overkill ay, money could've been put to better use but yeh!

Im giving them a call today because the glue has already turned to shit and sides are lifting (pritty f**ked considering the 6k was spent less then 6 months a go)!

Thanks for the comments guys.

@kx2fity

Thats a lot of money just for body kit. Would you mind to tell me a little further about it i.e. How bad is the lifting? Hows the fitting i.e. any gap between kit and car's body?

@Mitchy

I called him twice already during last week but unfortunately I could not grab a hold of him and hence couldn't get a chance to have a good talk and possibly to get a quote as well. However, I will give another try.

Btw, did you get, paint and fit your front bar from brett? Your front bar looks hot.

Cheers

mine took about 2.5 weeks to have front bar fitted, painted, etc.. and i had a few other bits and pieces cleaned up while it was there.

they get busy though, brett will let you know how long it will take. :yucky:

Yeah, I will have some scratches to clean up either...might as well do it while I get my kit done. Thanks for the info mate.

That is an awesome car you got there mate! Love the tail light.

But black colour is a bitch to keep clean aye. We are in the same boat by the way (I have a black R34) LOL!

Tell me about it, I spent over hr cleaning it yesterday and its already covered and dirt and shit!

I have a mate who cleans BMWs for a living and he gave me some pointers on cleaning black cars, and apparntly keeping their shine for longer

(light wash, dish wash detergent soak, sponge of, shammy dry, Microfibre cloth with window cleaner 'polish')

Post some pics of your car (maybe some before and after shots) of when you get your kit!

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
