Hi Autoabarn,

I am literally about to go to Carmate and buy a C-West style front bar off them. But noticed your thread. Ive asked around but I cant seem to get a clear idea as to whether their kits are any good. I have an original Cwest bar now but just cracked it on a low driveway and i dont want to go and buy a brand new 1 again, way too expensive. Anyways can u give me a quote on a R34 Cwest front bar or veilside front bar OR would u know whether the one at carmate is any good. Thanks in advance, BTW they quoted me for $450.

i have not seen their r34 c-west kit, but their stuff is usually good for price.

dont forget peter at body form he is bit of a master at glass repair give him a call on 02 97272788 he should be able to repair the original easily. we do it here all the time.

thanks champ. Im pretty sure the bar is way 2 damaged 2 repair but we'll see. So u cant get the bars i wanted quoted on ? and wow that was a fast response.

i smashed my first vertex kit in half, then preceeded to drag remains for 300m. even though i lost parts still came up like new. i will chase some prices.

sorry, but if this is the one on your car i can do it for $450 frieghted. it is not my mould but a buy-in so its probaly from the same initial manufacturer. because of the freight to sydney $80-100 i can not better the price.

Car Mate has the carbon fibre bonnet for $1050.00. Are you willing to match this price?

i already have. $1050 plus their frieght charge from sydney $100 plus $50 insurance equals $1200. i refuse to do it without insurance unless i have it in writing from you that if it arrives damaged you will still accept it. i have lost two to damage already.

Thanks for the quote on the CWest front bar. Yeah those pictures are of the right bodykit but im pretty sure thats the kit for the GTR. Anyway, thanks for at least being able to match the quote. Ill get the kit off carmate cause i can just drive down and get it. Thanks anyhow your prices are great and i might get my panel beater friends to get quotes off u 2 now since u seem to be a bit cheaper. Do u have a personal email address ?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
