thanks for that nismo32r. What happnd?

My friend had a Series 8 RX7 and bought a gen Boxmax bodylit from jap for few k's

he asked aresspeed to paint and fit them on the car...

at the end the car turn out like a 30k worthy car

the color is not matching+the kit is not fitted properly+they drill holes on the body to screw front and rear bumpers and skirts...

if i have a chance...i will post up pics to show you guys

I am just about to get a body kit from either MakSpeed or Jetspeed. Makspeed quoted me $1200 and Jetspeed $1400 for the same kit. Just wondering what your opinions would be on the quality of the products, I dont mind paying extra if Jetspeed has a better quality product. Any thoughts?

I will be able to supply them for around $1000

damn that sux arsse nismo32r. not much should be done to a genuine kit... Inasn't how much for rear bars only? u got painting and fitting options?

went to all my local panel shops and the average just for fitting and painting was $400 bux approx i was like wtf?. i did find 1 place kinda dodgy but they give lifetime warranty on paint and the dudes are respraying a soarer and it looks mint from what they have done. $350 for fit and paint sidies. as well as custom reinforce front bar from dodgy first job as well as adjust the bonnet and light from a stack. So i might go with them. Inasn't how long till ur business is up and running man.

whats ur experience with them dazsQ as GT400r sez they did a crap job for him and fibre glass wasn't that good quality?

DJR33 what veilside kit u want there are 2 for 33's.

I want the kit for the gtst. As far as i know theres only 2 kits, one for the gtst and one for gtr. All the pics ive seen of the kit on 33's look really low, but that might be coz all of the cars have been lowered. I dont want anything that wont allow me to go over speed bumps

there are two kits for GTS and 2 for GTR.

I got the car back today and i'm very very happy with the job.

It cost 350 for:

- fitting and painting of sideskirts

- pushing out the light (which was slightly pushed in from previous stack)

- realigning bonnet also from previous stack

- re-doing mesh (coz dodgy bodykit shop i got it from used builders bog and it came off, what a surprise)

-making brackets to hold bar in more firm (dodgy bodykit shop just bolted it on ends and used super dodgy brackets in the middle)

also washed the car which was cool, and all of this was done in 1 day dropped it off at 8 and picked it up at 5.

Place was TJ panels in seaford. I'll post up pix on monday.

Guys if you want bodykits, i can get you any kit that jetspeed or others can get for around $1100 unpainted delivered to Melbourne in about 2 weeks once a deposit is put down.

All i need is a pic of the kit to check if the mould is available so it can be made and sent within 2 weeks.

friend just got a fit and spray rear bar for 180sx for $300 i think it was.. didn't use their bodykit so can' t comment on that.. but the fit and spray colour matched well and job was well done

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
