More pics.... clearly the Type J front bumper and the vertex aren't are good match... and considering the vertex bumper we received was about 2 inches out of meeting up with the panels when mounted... might be a blessing in disguise.

you guys can make up your own minds about the quality of the guards n bumpers :blush:

needless to say there's gonna be a bit of work left before it all starts looking good... and unfortunately a bit of fibreglass and bog to go with it.

There's alot of space under the guards now..

What offset/width Work VS-XX's?

Theres nothing worse than wrong offsets :thumbsup:

wheel offsets are 9.5" width with -10 offset up front and 10" width with -16 offset at the back. although that's tentative... I haven't ordered the outer bands for the wheels from japan yet... will be ordering them to suit the width of the car so it just sits a couple of mm outside of flush. Being a 3 piece its really handy cos you can alter the width to taste.

WOW - thats ummm ..... nasty?

atleast the extra work will ensure it looks great, but will cost you a bunch to do.

if you can, get lots of pics of the prep work to make them work, always interested in new techniques for fixing this sort of stuff.

indeed... luckily I actually work for the shop (well used to while I was in melb) and I've seen worse kits come in on cars, and go out looking really good, so I trust that the work will get done properly.

Chris, I actually wanted to talk to you about gettin some stuff powdercoated, specifically the brakes, engine covers and wheel centres. PM?

Oooooh details on the bonnet?!?!?!

sorry the one pictured in the first post isn't the one I ended up getting. Updated now.

Got a D-Max copy bonnet in the end from Viva Garage. Driver side of the bonnet sits 1cm above the guard compared to the passenger side which sits flush. will have to cut away at it in places to make it sit flush on both sides.

here's the original in CF:

Thats pretty good looking!

Got a pic of the underside of it?

Price?

I cant shut my bonnet after the rb30 and highmount turbo - so im after a bonnet with heaps of clearance near the timing belt cover

  • 2 weeks later...

wow i cant believe you keep buying this stuff off viva as the fitment of the pieces isnt getting any better.

i had one of the type J front bars. took a bit of work to make it fit. had to pull the sides in about 100mm each side and cut a bit out of the back of the sides to i could turn my wheels. once it was painted up it looked really good. at-least for 12 hours until i smashed it up big time on a ripple strip. i would defiantly buy another one as you dont see them very often.

should look really good. keep it up.

funnily enough the Type J front bumper is the only item that fitted up perfectly with no mods :)

ah well... got BN Sport sides n rear now :cheers: car looks hektik drifter styles... but at least it suits the type J front.

Whats the number to ring re your front bar? Also, woudl they have astd rear bar layign around with goos side clips?

my standard rear bar should be at the shop still. the number is 0425855540, the guys name is Roshan, he owns driftline.

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
