Hi everyone!

Given that I already have the widebody kit, who would you recommend in Sydney to do a great job fitting it? Peter @ Bodyform is highly recommended for general fibreglass work but I wasn't sure if he does widebody conversions as well..

So does anyone have any experience with any companies (either good or bad - I want to hear both ends of the spectrum!) who regularly do this?

Thanks!

Peter has come on board and now is sponsoring our racecar. His work is a very high standard and we are very pleased to be associated with him.

another vote for Bodyform

What work is he doing on your car (specific if possible!) ?

lots..one piece sideskirts, garage saurus front lower lip, new N1 front bumper vents, gannador aero mirrors, Top Secret rear underbody diffuser and lining the rear interior with carbon panels.

we had his custom sideskirts fitted but they dont suit the car due to its high ride height due to the drag racing suspension set-up. So we are going back to an N1 style skirt...but one piece Bodyform ones.

Wow, that sounds terrific! Roughly how long do you expect all of that to take from start to finish for Peter to do? I've heard that while he is a master at his work, he is pretty unreliable with time frames :-(

cant put a time limit on perfection bud

what demo car????

im mates with both Bassa and Louis so I've got no bias either way

ive never seen a bad job come from Louis

I second that, Louis does awesome work..

I think he is reffering to Loius's stretch ute.. which was still in primer last time I saw it.

he takes awhile, had the s15 in there a long time (original vertex kit going on too, so you know ;) )

exclusive colours arnt as good as 2 sus :D

HAHA yeah thats what happens when you get your mates to do your car,should be ready in the next week or so,it will be worth the wait though

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
