hey guys,

some tool parked me in on the weekend which meant i had to reverse of a gutter and i broke the right hand side of my front bar. (where it bolts on just infront of the right wheel)

Want it fixed nicely while still paying a fair price...... how mcuh would one expect?? crack is 2 or 3 inches long and would need respray i assume.. (or maybe i should get touch up paint... )

any suggestions where to get it fixed? i live in the redlands (cleveland) so south east bris would be closer..

i know i could fix it myself but since it has to be painted etc and ive never done it before i think id rather pay someone to do it for me.

been told DMD the image at coopers plains are "fooli sik body kit specialists" lol

cheers,

Zennon

Yeah DMD you cant go wrong mate...not to hard to do yourself if you got a bit of spare time however!

yeah im thinking about it... I've never worked with fiber glass before... (saw a D.I.Y. thread somewhere...)

not sure how i would paint it though... could buy some touch up paint but dont have any spray guns or anything.. might look a little dodgy... although the bar isn't like in the best condition anyway so maybe i should lol

Gun metal grey isnt to hard find a find with a gun or if your ultra budget get a can of primer a can of the grey and a can of clear and bobs yours uncle you could probably have it all done for around 50 looking alrightish or 250-300 depending on damage for dmd to do it!

kustom fx in underwood (3208 0832) they just fixed up my bodykit and did a great job

yeah DMD cant do it this week and I want it done before sunday's cruise so Ill try Kustom Fx...

how much work did they do to yours Konrad (wasn't just the front was it?) and how much did they charge you? you've got a 33 i assume?

hey nice car :) how come i havnt seen it around yet?,, does it come out often?

do u live near like defiance or deviance? .. no one coudl forget that name how come i can? lol..

its out practically every day, but i'm often out of town so it can be seen cruising exotic places like toowoomba, emerald and bundaberg :ninja:

no idea what you're getting at with the defiance thing, doesn't sound like anything near where i live (logan)

DMD originally did my Monkey Warehouse front bar (supply and fit. Was very displeased, especially for the price. For $500 more than what they charged just to suplly and fit my front bar, i bought side skirts, a rear bar, and GTR air vents, and had them all painted and fitted (re-did shit front bar), at Morayfield Smash Repairs. Not known for imports really, but do a lot of things like porches and older cars, reconditioning etc, they are fantastic with bothe steel and fibreglass.

I will second Morayfield smash, as they do good paint work and and body work and have qualified tradepeople...unlike some "specialist" body kit places....

There is also Caboolture Crash...geez all the names sound the same...but anyway they also do a good job

Thanks guys but Morayfield and Caboolture are a little far away Im afraid... Think I might see how I go with the local shops...

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
