Hey got a series 2 r33 gtst, had my gtr bar (copy) hanging on with 3 screws for a year now.... anyway the other day it may be holding by 2 screws now lol. Plus some decent cracks through the fibreglass.

Has anybody repaired fibreglass?

Got any info on where to get it from and how easy/hard it is to do?

Anyone got it repaired before?

Edit: Just bought a GTR bar and wing, good price... and yes i'll look like a tool with a wannabee GTR, but i think its the nicest kit around, its not over the top. Besides i still hae my old gtr indicators so that would be stupid to not use them seeing as i already have them.

New question is how much is it to match and paint a front bar and/or a spoiler? And where is the best place to get it done?

cheers

Ive been using Binding Prestige Panel and Paint in Brookvale (Northern Beaches) for years (who's a Mercedes specialist), he's worked on all my cars.

Including my R34 a few years back, it was border line write off from a serious rear end collision, but insurance insisted on repairing it, it was a 20K repair job and I also had a total respray. I'm actually glad I had it repaired now.

Basically everything behind the back doors (except drivers side quarter panel) was replaced.

Couldn't be happier with him, he did a top notch job on the R34, when I got it back I put it up on a hoist and the workmanship was 2nd to none, and 3 years later it still looks brand new.

If you want to talk to them speak to Frank or Terry (father and son who own the business).

after i had put a new gtr bar on...

its not going to be painted for a while since i'm flat out at the moment. I actually installed the front bar while organising shipping containers and trucks around so fairly decent job considering i was doing 5 jobs at once...

albert i'm either going to get my old one repaired myself or swap it as is for a slab of beer, i'll let you know how well i repair it lol

lol but mine was just minor cracks and a scrape from our shit roads in nsw lol.... you hit a bloody wallaby or something lol.

Should have left it unpainted matt, then we can go to OP and be the "Misfit skyline crew".

Coincidence we both bought our cars from the same importer????? I think not

lol....looks exactly like my car a few years ago.

lol cass, did you notice that every pic you post on this forum has got you with a helmet ahah!

I need to protect my identity! I'm pretty much like the Stig, except I can talk and I suck at driving :(

nawww don't pick on matt because he is a prepared driver, he just likes to protect his nogging from injury at all times

What can I say, I need to protect what little brain cells I have left :P

private sale, but it has a sticker on it that said "car mate" had a phone number aswell, but its scraped off already because it was at the bottom of the lip.

I got my old one that needs repairing and new paint to make it look brand new again, i couldnt be bothered doing it, you can have it for a case of carlsburg?

If i had a way of picking it up i would give you a case for it. i already have the same bar but i want to get a second one so while i also repair my other one i can still have one on the car,

ive already fixed mine once before but letting my sister drive was not a good idea.

lol,

Genuwin gtr or gtr replica should be able to fit in the cabin of an r33 with no dramas, i had a gtr replica bar and a gtr replica spoiler in my cabin a few weeks ago, just had to put the front seat forward, just make sure its clean first coz then you have to get the vaccume out lol

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
