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?

    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
