Hi guys,

I finally took the plunge and got myself an R34 GT-T! The car's been an absolute dream come true, its like a damn playstation on wheels! Ok, that aside, I'm thinking about getting a new front bar. Frankly, I can't afford East Bear so the next best thing would probably be this kit off ebay.

Since its so dirt cheap, I might wanna give it a go and see how it goes. However I've just moved to Brisbane, QLD so I'm not too familiar with the garages that does cosmetic stuff around here. Can anyone recommend a good reliable garage that I can stick to? Preferably somewhere around Brisbane City.

Also, could anyone advise on price wise: how much am I looking at for fitting and painting the kit?

Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Cheers,

k.

p.s - i'm not sure if this would be of any concern, but the car is in white.

I personally would not buy bodykits off ebay.. especially when they are cheap... Do it once.. Do it right...

For brisbane I would recommend DMD... I don't believe they do paint and fit anymore (will need to confirm).. but their bodykits i have got from them are top notch.. hardly any mods to make it fit.. and didnt have some crazy out of line warping..

Paint and fit should prob be around $400.00 mark i'd say.. Does also depend on how the fitment is.. If they get that bad they require cut and re-glassing then requires more labour...

**You are bidding on a brand new R34 GTR style front bumper to suit normal GT and GTT R34 turbo or non-turbo version**

This is @ Bomba or at me? If I'm reading it right, its a GTR style bumper meant for GTT R34, no?? :(

If I'm wrong then I probably have too much blood in my caffeine stream!! lol, peace!~

Ah so sue me :P Just finished a 12hr shift, just read GTR.......

So how does it fit against the bonnet? Pics are too small to work it out. It couldn't fit over the bonnet cause how would you open it? anybody enlighten us?

St Lucia hey? I actually bought my 34 from there!

Must congratulate you on your choice of colour too :P

Cameron's Body Works in coopers plians are very good, as are bradys body works in acacia ridge. I might be a little biased as I am a local though....

scroll down to look at the white GTT, it's the exact same kit from the exact same seller off eBay. He shaved off the top mole and part of the middle bits in the grill, finally painted the 'lip' black and it looks wicked sick.

And thanks!! I was pretty glad I didn't get black, I kinda find white abit nicer after awhile(or maybe I'm just stupid biased, lol). Are you in sunny banks?

@Gimps, I think the general consensus around here is not to get kits off eBay, like uhm, you get what you pay for yea? I was thinking about it but the EB kit is out of my league. I was very skeptical too, but since another white Skyline has taken the plunge and not died, I was thinking maybe I should go for it too. Well, I'll keep ya posted on how it went, but first I need to find a decent affordable garage. I'll probably give the suggested ones a call on Monday. :P

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.

      Hence why I've only modified my car into a pure daily. Everything has to remain reliable & roadworthy, while providing value and grin factor. It also must not be handcrafted to the extent that the car will be immovable if something breaks because you cannot get or make a replacement to at least limp around with.
