i know this has been covered b4, but i searched and could only find threads relevant that were posted pre 05..

I am looking for someone to paint and fit my full URAS kit on my 34... dont care who does it really as long as they do a decent job!!

As stated i need this done asap.... just need to know who, how much and when???

Or if i paint myself, who can fit it for cheap?

Cheers

Guy

i'm going to call you tomorrow in regards to this dude...

maybe we can get it cheaper if we both paint our cars at the same time at the place i'm getting it done etc.

stress less, thing is... did you want it done before or after the pits?

Preferably before, as i dont have a backup kit for pits...

Or i can paint it myself, just worried about drilling holes into fibreglass is all!!

yeah true, my painter has quoted me wicked price though i don't think we can find cheaper...

my uncle is a sprayer (well dad's best mate) and quoted me some prices and they were sh*t house compared to the guy i'm going through to get ready for Salon, no wonder he can afford his new 5 series *shakes head*

well more than likely, my car will not be back on the road in time for autosalon... cant afford the kit to be sprayed as the cheapest anyone will do it for is $950... mind you its already primered and ready for paint and fit... seems everyone hates fitting jap kits... they reckon if it was authentic then they would do it cheaper, but if the kits were authentic, id obviously do it myself as they fit good straight up.

Why are there so many dodgy people around these days????????? the way things are going with me i think im going to have to get it fiitted minus the paint then take over the pits... bout all i can afford atm, and im sick of driving sh1t cars when i have this to drive!!

Seems noone knows how to be straight with anyone anymore... im seriously at a point where i think id be better off selling the 34!!!

Too much debt and no breaks = hard to get things sorted, already been pissed around by licensing centre and so on, seems there is no end to it all...

Anyways, im a little tipsy so thats my rant!!

wtf!

$950 is f**king cheap to have a whole kit fitting and spray. What did you expect someone to do it for nothing. I dont think you understand the time required to fit a copy/china kit, there is a reason why a genuine kit comes with such a high price tag. I can also guaranty if the place was to just spray your kit which is already primed the end result will be shit house. unless the kit is prep correctly the end results is poor.

^^ agreed. Even for fibreglassed kits your looking in the $2,000+ plus range (kitted & fitted) all up easily. If they charged any cheaper I'd think twice about their workmanship. m2c.

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
