Hey, I just recently bought a fibreglass bodykit off this website called vivagarage. Just wondering if anyone has bought one of there kits before and how well they line up. I also got quoted $2000 to fit and spray the kit (front bumper, rear bumper, two side skirts) Is this a reasonable quote??

I paid 900 for mine painted and fitted.

had it done in Wynnum. Not gonna advertise the guys business cause he cut the diffuser off my $550 rear bar

But maybe that comes under the philosophy "you get what you pay for"

hopefully your kit fits of the bat! i doubt it though.

we spent hours re-fitting twisted pieces, so if you could do any of that im sure it would dramatically reduce the cost if you can take it to them ready to go.

good luck :P

I bought a rear bar and side skirts from Viva for my stagea.

Took me about 40 hours to make the rear bar fit. Had to be cut into 3 peices.

Both side skirts had to be lengthened as well.

Good luck

40 hours?? did i read that right? lol that's insane! yea viva garage is the only place I could find that sold the full kit for a 4-door r33 so I'm hoping it doesn't involve too much work otherwise i'm not gonna be too happy. and yea this is the first quote I've gotten so far. The place that quoted me was 'auto collision repairs' at seventeen mile rocks..the first place I've been to that actualy gave me a quote lol

Smick panel and paint on the gold coast are doing my veilside front bar, side skirts, and rear pods for $650 painted and fitted. and I think hes doing my grill for free

Earlier in the year I got a TR bar off carmate and it wouldnt bend in enough to fit flush so it cracked and had to be repaired and they have been ignoring all my emails. Hows that for customer service.

i payed just under $15,000 for a kit and to bare metal respray. but thats with custom molded guards and like i said to bare metal.

at the end of the day, you get what you pay for and when it comes to paint, every mofo will pick it like they know every thing about paint and have bought the best of the best.

my advice, decide what sorta quality you want and then decide if thats an acceptable price.

with paint. you get what you pay for. hope this helps.

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
