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

    • Ahhh, I need the whole head unit. I definitely needed to roll back through and review your setup, ha ha! Neat setup they have going on. I just need a full double din head unit. But I want good and responsive. I might have to review what the likes of pioneer have out these days.
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
