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.

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.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      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.

      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?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
