hey guys,

i brought a full vertex kit for my r32 from company in melb, although only one thing fitted the front bar, ive had the fenders fixed already, but was wondering if its possible to fix the rear bar as its warped to the shit house ill post up pics

also the side skirts are too short but there fixable, just cant think how there going to fix the rear bumber.

the company were i brought the kit from wants nothing to do with it so im on my own there!

thanks

I bought the same kit and had the same problem. Only front bar fitted. Where did you get it from. mine was from Speed Dreams. Shittiest mould ive eva seen. It can be fixed though. Very painfull expirience though. I suggest seeking a Proffesional. I know mine took them a fair while to reshap. If you do get it fixed. Take the opportunity to modify it slightly to give it your own custom look.

i got mine from motorkitz in caufield, worst business expirence! he was tring to tell me that the parts are made for the 4door r32 and you have to get the modifyed to fit 2door but when i brought them he said he fitted them 2 a 2door r32 and they fitted only when i rang him up and complained he changed his story!

i had there fenders fixed up they turned out ok.

what custom additions did you put on yours...?

Had my gaurds Pumped out about an inch and a half so had the kit widened to suit, Same when i put gtr gaurds on the front. Fitted a bit of checkor plate behind the number plate. Nothin to serious. I wanted to keep mine pretty plane. But depends what sorta look your into i guiss.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
