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

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
