Hi all,

picking up myself a 97 r33 on Friday and have already ordered a kit online to throw on it. Does anyone know someone in Perth that good for installing kits and painting? Preferbly near Bayswater or near a train line (so I can get to and from there easy enough)?

Thanks in advance! :(

My advice would be that you just get the kit painted and fit the kit yourself. It's really not that hard and you can use the extra cash on something else.

Honestly not much work if the kit was designed and made good, but if it requires more work for it to fit (modifying it to fit), then get them to do it.

Sorry I couldn't give a place which would do it though.

I think it may need a bit of work... will find out when it comes next week. But I also was thinking of doing a respray of the whole car too so I would defantly need someone for that. There are a couple of panel beaters around the area so I will ask them but was wondering if anyone new one that had done a good job on theirs before and could recommend. :banana:

But once the kit is on, painted and I get the new rims I will post a pic

If you're planning on respraying the whole car then yeah, just give them the car, kit and let them do everything. While they fix up any dents, they can modify the kit to fit perfect.

Theres only one decent operator. - Fibre vision in Welshpool

Last time I visited fibre vision it was a place that made kits not paint whole cars at any type of quality .Granted this was some time ago and unless the owner has changed then I could not see him being the only desent guy out there let alone desent at all .

I would recomend looking outside bayswater as well as there's great shops in Malaga wanneroo etc area .

I would also post up what you would be wanting to spend as this would help with where people can point you to .

IF it was just a body kit then I guess most shops would do a good job but if its the whole car then I would choose a little more carefully .

Fibre vision would not be one of my options for a desent job .

Getting mine done at Cowleys smash Repairs in Cannington when kit arrives, recomended by few forum members(Mitch & Steve) who had their cars done there. If u pop in to see Brett he's a very helpful bloke. Fibrevision was on the cards but ive heard mixed reactions with them. Also Dave one of the ex-Fibrevision fellas is now at Cowleys.

Search in W.A. section for more info.

Fair comments gents - i meant for fitment of aftermarket and fabrication parts not spray painting. I must admit it was over two years ago that i dealt with Fibre Vision - no doubt some other decent entities have also evolved and or persons that i have no dealings with - i was simply directing you to a person that i had personally dealt with and found sound in character and promise as prefer that ratehr than recommending on here say.

By the way - i have lost my contact for the Nengun style DO Luck GTR32 front bar - they were on E Bay - any one know where i can locate them or a bar please?

to whom ever started this thread

go to SW panel paint

duffy street baywsater

just off collier road near tonkin highway

affordable-ish prices n they do good work

really good guys that do not tell LIES.

they have quick turn around too...

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
