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?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
