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

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
