i have a crack in my 400r style front bar (next to left head light) and also little chips on the bottom due to some scraping...

i need to save some money, stop being lazy and fix this but dont no where to go.

i went to a fibreglass repairer that does insurance work, and they said im better off getting a new front bar istead of repair :(

so yeh i would be interested in where ppl recomend..

i would recommend Mak - Speed near Highpoint,Maribyrnong.

Dunno what their 'off-the-shelf' kits are like, but i got them to make me a custom moulded vertex rear bar for my car and it came out absolutely perfect. Their fibreglass guy knows what he's doing - give them a shot and see how you go.

Haven't been down there for a couple of years so dunno how thing are now, but they got good workmanship and decent prices.

Without slandering, i've had pretty bad experiences with Aero Image in the Westside (last known location Sunshine Rd, Sunshine/Tottenham) - the guy treated me like shit and returned my car covered in fibreglass dust and refused to clean it for me. On top of that the workmanship was piss-poor too

i tried GALS smash repairs.... another member recomended it and it was ideal for me because i am a suburb away from tullamarine...

but when i told the bloke there and showed him what the problem was he said ur better off getting a new front bar :s

personally i dont think the front bar is bad enough to need replacing so i didnt do anything about fixing the bar...

now its just the same as it was and its pissing me off so i think its time to do something about it

p.s ive been waiting for someone to reverse into me for 6 months..... any takers? :)

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
