Hi Everyone,

This is actually my car (R33 Skyline GTS-T) and this guy (FIRTY2) SAU Username...contacted me via SAU messaging service that he can fit the bodykit to my car................ So i made up my mind to go for it as this guy told me that he is spraypainter by trade and have experience in putting bodykits before and he recons he fitted and painted the bodykit on R33 skyline before as well........... But i swear to god , he did a SHIT job (wondering that how it took him 2 weeks to do this SHIT job, should be finished in 2 days) ......... Not even he spoiled my bodykit but he sprayed it like a BACKYARD JOB (Nothing was smoothed out or worked on before spraying and can see massive PAINT DROPS on rear bar and side skirts) He cut the side skirts into half and join them again to extend it but he changed the whole shape of the side skirts and got big lumps where he joined them..... Rear bar was cut into three pieces and same thing happened with it as well and the paint on rear bar is totally CRAP.......I havn't heard anyone cutting the bodykit and joining it again ....... Even after that I told him to refund my HALF MONEY as the job he did was not worth $900 but he straight away refused and told me that bring it back and he will try to fix it but NO WAY I CAN TRUST HIM ANYMORE.........I did a big mistake by trusting him first ......... I think i am the first person on this FORUM who actualy paid $900 to spoil the bodykit for my car........... should paid $400 extra to JETSPEED in CLAYTON and done it proffessionally .......... But its too late now.......... But giving you guys heads up .................. If this guy contacts you via private messaging and tell you that he can do any mods to your car then just tell him to bugger off............. NOTE - YOU CAN FIND PICS OF MY CAR ........ SEARCH FOR POST ON SAU...........R33 KIT MODIFICATION AND YOU CAN SEE YOURSELF...........THANKS

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your reply...............yeh TYPEVU & ELIPTOR..... you are right..............for $1300, I should let JETSPEED in CLAYTON do the job professionally ,,,,,,,,,, just thought to save bit of money but end up losing more .......... even my bodykit is gone.............. SO END UP AS A " BIGGEST LOSER".........

i got a headache reading that.

baseball bat perhaps?

Sounds...................................................like...................................................................................................................................................................a..........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................plan :rolleyes:

hi guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

i am going to take my car to JETSPEED in CLAYTON and see if they can fix this big F**K up or i have to buy a NEW BODYKIT from them and let hem fit and paint.............. I WANT MY MONEY BACK FROM THIS GUY AND I TOLD HIM AS WELL BUT HE IS SO SHAMELESS .........INSTEAD OF SAYING SORRY ,,,,,,,, HE IS ACTING LIKE A SMARTA** AND HE THINKS HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB...................... WHAT A F**K**G idiot............ i RECON. PEOPLE LIKE THIS SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM SAU SITE......

1. Fitting of a bodykit + paint for $1300 is quite reasonable in comparison to what some people charge these days

2. Why would you let some random off sau do it for you without seeing any of his work , or having any idea what his skills are ? unfortunate that it didnt come out well. i remember seeing a guy put up a post the other day about how he was 'doing some work to his r33s body kit' . stating how he had cut it up in multiple places, pretty sure it was a veilside . looked pathetic , how come his topic has been deleted?

3. at the end of the day you really wont get anything back from him , definitly should of went somewhere where you know you cant point faults and have them fixed as part of an agreement etc...

HI GUYS,,,,,,,,,,,,,

SKY017................ I HAVE NO IDEA WHO DELETED THAT POST MATE........................ IT WAS THERE YESTERDAY................... IN REPLY TO YOUR COMMENT ............. THIS GUY IS NOT OFF SAU....................HE IS ONE OF THE MEMBER................. HIS USERNAME AT SAU IS.........FIRTY2............... YES ITS ALSO MY MISTAKE THAT I TRUSTED HIM WITHOUT LOOKING HIS JOB .....................BUT HE TOLD ME THAT HE DONE SOME WORK FOR MEMBERS AT SAU AS WELL.................... AND HE IS SPRAYPAINTER BY TRADE AND QUALIFIED FOR COUPLE OF YEARS NOW................. AND DO THESE KINDS OF JOB TO MAKE SOME EXTRA CASH.................. HE WAS THE ONE WHO CONTACTED ME FIRST ..............AS I POSTED ON SAU AND WAS ASKING FOR ANY GOOD BODYKIT INSTALLER ...................... I WENT TO THE JETSPEED WITH MY CAR TO SHOW THEM HIS F**k UP AND THE GUY AT JETSPEED NEARLY FELL ON THE GROUND LAUGHING AND HIS EXACT WORDS WERE .............." WAT THE F**k IS THIS"..................... MATE HE NOT ONLY DID A SHIT PAINT JOB BUT HE COMPLETELY DESTROYED MY BODYKIT WHICH CAN'T BE FIXED IN ANY CASE................... I AM BUYING A WHOLE NEW KIT FROM JETSPEED AND HE IS GOING TO INSTALL AND PAINT IT AS WELL...................... IF THIS GUY GOT ANY SELF-RESPECT FOR HIMSELF AND FOR SAU MEMBERS .......THEN HE SHOULD RETURNED MY MONEY .............NOT ALL BUT AT LEAST $600.............. BUT HE TRIED TO BE A SMART WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR MONEY AND TOLD ME TO BRING MY CAR BACK TO HIM SO HE CAN FIX IT .............. BUT I TOLD HIM STRAIGHT AWAY THAT NO WAY.......I WILL NOT LET YOU TOUCH MY CAR AGAIN ................ SO HE REPLIED THAT I DID A LITTLE RANT ON SAU ABOUT HIS WORK SO HE WILL NOT FIXING MY CAR AND NOT GIVING ANY REFUND...................

I'd never get a back yard job paint job done on my car.... Or even a work shop without an oven..

Anyway, I'd be keen to see some pictures of the f*** up...

Maybe you can gather some people to go down to his house and get something back haha

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
