i was probaly the first R33 that Jetspeed ever put a kit on.

This was a while ago, i wasnt happy with the results and their professionalism (i.e lack of).

Things mite have changed since then, but i doubt it.

you are correct, nothing has changed

on the other hand, I got my CF bonnet from carmate also, top blokes really helpful.. even tho they said they had one in stock and didn't and I had to wait 2 weeks (box was labelled CF and it was fibreglass) it's top quality.. They import most of their stuff.

i thought JetSpeed supplies their kits to Carmate

- negatory

u mean the primer? or the actuall paint?

Has anyone bought bodykits from jetspeed or carmate off the shelf n bring home to do u'rself? is it just me that their stuff is realli crap? u have the sand and file down lumps, fill in holes, sand down again then prime Again! but then still, most of the time it doesn't fit properly. Anyone else with this problem?

jetspeed didnt do any of the prep work on my kit, it was done by someone else, and they did a very good job and took alot of care. They also hate Jetspeed.

My kit sagged, was gaps....later i realised why they refused to give me a Jetspeed sticker (i didnt know shit at the time), they didnt want there bad workmanship displayed for all to see.

The kits dont kit properly because they are made poorly to start with.

Jetspeed make this particular rear bar for hondas, any honda, and from the many MANY cars in my area that have that rear bar, it looks like its One Size Fits all job.

Not uncommong for gaps measuring in INCHES, but this may also have something to do with the buyer and how cheap they are.

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
