Yeah it was pretty ordinary LOL

Thats what i was worried about with the bigger front bar, anyway i have heaps to spend on the car before i even look at cosmetics.... I am a fan of look but it would all need to be done properly which money does not allow for now :wacko:

Where can someone buy the ursas kit for a sedan?

Im only interested in the front bar and bonnet lip. Do they fit to stock fenders?

I'm also running a s2 sedan (with the ugly front bar) will it be a problem at all fitting?

The genuine one from URAS will fit S2 sedan.

Viva Garage is hit and miss, some is good while some is plain crap. But what would you expect?

Basically all 'copy' kits will require trimming, fitting and modifying to fit. Some more than others. There's been heaps of threads on it, but unless you're going to import a genuine kit than don't expect it to be an off the shelf fit, even of someone else's was.

doesn't sound like he works there at all. that man speaketh the truth.

the fibreglass copies have huge amounts of play in them. if anything you should expect them not to fit and require modification.

atleast yours was 15mm over and not under. easier to just trim off the ends than to cut the middle and re-bond

I have purchased kits from justjap in the past and no modification was required

Viva garage just sell rubbish

Do u work for them? Cause it sounds like it

Don't know what you're issue is with what I said. Sounds like you're after OEM fitment but don't want to pay up for it.

Yeah but mate look at the difference in price, Jetspeed, Viva Garage, Carmate all these places are fibreglass copies that retail for what? Anywhere between say 250-450ish. For replica bars, lets now take a look at the cost of a GENUINE bar:

DO-Luck front bar for a GTST:A$ 1,081.08 (before shipping)

Jun Aero front bar for a GTST:A$ 1,226.76 (before shipping)

BN full kit for a GTST: A$ 2,350 (before shipping)

Full DO-Luck kit: A$ 2,883.78 (BS)

I'm not trying to get into a massive debate with you here, but I think you'll find you've either underestimated the cost of the real items vs the cost of replica items, or you've simply got your head in the sand. I've had a Jetspeed front bar, as well as Viva Garage and to be honest I reckon that the VG items were of equal quality to the Jetspeed bar (Melbourne). Both these items required trimming and a bet of prep work to get them to fit but I expected that and that's what goes with using 'off the shelf/replica' items. It's no different to people who use Chinese manifolds/freddy plenums etc and then wonder why they're not a true 'direct bolt-on' replacement.

Was looking at getting a viva garage front bumper but from the feedback ive decided to look into getting the URAS one off nengun.

Just curious how much does it cost to paint and fit a front bumper?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
