Hey guys

Just got a quote back from a shop to:

Cut and shape

Fit

Paint - stock white

Price - 1300

There is an item on the brake down called FRONT B/B - 300 . I have no idea what that is for so I will need to ask the guy about that

Any way is 1300 a decent price to fit and spray a aftermarket fiberglass front bar for an r33???? I was expecting 600 - 800

That sounds expensive to me! Got Quote $300 to respray my front bar (i supplied the paint and the thinner / clear) he supplied the primer and the undercoat $160ish for Thinner / Clear / 1 L of paint (he only used about 300ml for the whole front bar 400R apparently Midnight Purple spreads really well (have lots of paint left over) and i got quoted $80 to fit.

Should only cost you $500ish fitted! (midnight purple is $118 per liter, stock white will be much cheaper)

Yeah dude way too expensive.. I'd say that Front B/B would stand for Front Bumper Bar but who knows.. Maybe they quoted you for spraying a whole kit and then just broke it down to front bar only if you wanted to go ahead with the front bar only?

And do yourself a favour.. Go get more than one quote so you can compare..

Where you get the quote from? Looking to fit a new front bar and sideskirts and one panel place quoted me about $360 max for fitting only. Trying to get more quotes.

Got that quote from DT Panels in Springvale they said $80 assuming that there will be no modifications made if it needs to be altered they will change you extra! my bumper didn't need to be altered, it was fitted on the car before i just needed it refit it which i actually ended up doing myself with a few mates. also got quoted by DT Panels $300 for spray and fitment of side skirts 400R on my r33 which i didn't end up doing i currently have M-Spec ones!

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
