double demerits is an eastern states thing it was never officially brought in to SA just trialed it a few years back, they're talking bout bringing it in tho...

They used double demerits in SA over the Easter weekend

I just picked these up from ebay :down:

$375

$375

$66

Its put a hole in my wallet but i couldnt stop bidding lol

You.

f**king.

Suck.

Just checking you are aware... those taillights are missing the centre garnish, and those GT badges are the non-turbo ones.

I want those projectors though!

Ya the garnish is gana be a flamin mongrel to find but i was pretty happy at the prices :down: i was also aware of the GT badges comming from the NA but it looks alot better and diff from the stock item

Were you bidding on the frount lights?

I just picked these up from ebay :P

be aware you'll be devo if ya stove those lights LOL

they aint coupe lights either - theyre passage lights (as they have the chrome trims and are a grey colour)

garnish will be a bitch to find too

Im gana paint the rear lights black maybe with some night shade paint to blend in with the colour of the car(white and black) Im hoping i can use the stock garnish for now till i find one to suit the rear lights.

Im half way into cutting and shutting a volvo frount lip, filling in the frount 3 gaps and adding some to the center so it fits perfect. Is there any place in Australia that can do side skirts and rear bar??

i guess i was wrong...oh well u learn some thing new every day... now to correct my mate that told me...

Nah thats cool, I don't think they had double demerits over the Anzac weekend though so maybe its only an Easter and Christmas thing at this stage.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
