haha pk did u see that on the csa site? :D

Yep they the rims i want! Im in the process of saving for them now, mite be a while yet tho!

Have you been down to see Joe at Wheelworx and got a price from him? There not the most expensive wheel out thats for sure! You should do what i should have done, and get 4 rear wheels so theres DISH AS all round, as the fronts still have dish, just not as much!!! With the white, they will look the bomb on your car, but you do know that these wheels are like EVERYWHERE!

Bringing back a recent thread.

Has anyone bought an R33 front bar from Viva Garage? I like the idea of the GTR style for the GTS-t, as my current bar is more 400R (side vents, ugh!).

I would like to know peoples experience with FRONT BARS and their fitments. Looking at the photo's of Flicks car, a 5-10mm gap like between the door and guard is NOT acceptable to me so I want to know if all their stuff fits like this?

Cheers :P

I have the 400R front bar from Viva, mine has been modded so the Vents on the front and the side are not there, so they will match smooth side skirts! BUT in regards to the bar fiting, well mine wasn't the best fitment but it did the job! and now its chipped and cracked so it's not really fitting the best at the moment!

Hope that helps a little!

Well i got of the phone to viva garage today enquiring bout Bn side skirts and rear bar he said theres one in stock. I asked if i could put it up against my car and he said no not unless i buy the kit first. His reason been that if he takes it out the packaging no one would buy it which sounds stupid to me. So my first question is has anyone bought Bn style side skirts and rear bar from viva garage? And how well did they fit? I was pretty dissapointed with the guy on the phone he wasnt very helpfull at all. Also does anyone know anywhere else in adelaide i could get this kit? Does customshine stock these items?

Cheers iLEC

thats strange, when i inquired bout my guards they were really helpfull, were going to let me have a good look at them etc and if i wasnt happy with them, as in if they didnt fit right, he was going to let me exchange them.

I guess everyone has different experiences with them. Ive heard alot of bad things about them, and ive also seen another 32 with the exact same guards and they fitted alot alottt worse than mine. Im pretty happy with mine, the gap is hardly that noticable really, and the fit of the guards is pretty good in general.

U could try custom shine, they could probly get them in for u. I dont know of any other places otherwise..

you will find cheap aero parts are often copies sold as discounted originals. basically hold the part up to light and you should not see light, some lighter areas are ok but nothing to thin. In the end if it takes a weeks labour to correct a ripple skirt how are you saving money??

its funny to see cars covered in cheap kits, looks like aero bars, covered in ripples and full of holes!!

    • Yeah nice idea, you mean to suction it to the gauges? I hadn't thought of that.
    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.
