theres also a new shop... Works Auto Accessories in bentley,

1164 Albany Hwy, 9358 1800

I haven't been there myself yet, mate works there and he said they just got heaps of R33 kits in. Another place that can get kits is Evolution-R in bentley, I was thinking of getting a 400R kit from there when i had my series 1.

Chris.

JiMiH:

That's not actually true dude. In fact, I don't believe any of the bodykits that the Spoiler Shop stock come from Fibrevision. Personally, I am a personal friend of one of the blokes that works there in the sales section and can tell you straight up their kits coming directly from suppliers and definitely not Bruce (Fibrevision). Can I ask why you thought they buy their stuff from Fibrevision?

Everyone else:

I'm sure if you go to their Spoiler shop and ask for Daniel and tell them you are from the Skyline's forums, he'll make sure you get a good price. I know they look after the Silvia club too. They have club discounts available and I know several forums members have already bought products from there (myself included). In fact, one of the Fibrevision employees now works for The Spoiler Shop as a full time fitter/customiser/spray painter!

:)

I only say that because I went to the Spoiler Shop and asked for an R32 GTR front bar and they said $xxx. I then went to Fibre Vision and theirs were a lot cheaper, so I asked why. Then Bruce said that he supplied the Spoiler Shop with their gear, so they had to mark up his prices.

Sorry mate I didn't mean to offend ... I should have got my facts straight first before posting :)

No worries dude. I think my mates a bit pi$$ed off that Bruce is telling people that. I rang him after I read your post and he's the one that asked me to ask why you got that impression. Very interesting about the price. Obviously I don't work for the spoiler shop so I can't say why there is a clear difference in price, but I will make them aware of that fact. As I said, mention your are with the Skyline's club and Daniel should give you a better price.

Take it easy:cool:

Yep that would be David, ex Street Weapons owner/proprietor. He left Fibrevision a while ago...

He painted/touched up some of the Panel's on Skye's Purple 32 GTR. :)

And I'm with you seriesIIgtst...

That's cool mate ... if Bruce is telling people the wrong info then your mate has good reason to be pissed off!

Sorry if anyone got the wrong impression by my post :innocent:

But on another note, I agree that both Fibre Vison and the Spoiler Shop do great work ... I have seen examples of both and think they are very good.

what kind of cost are we looking at for a whole kit fully painted and fitted? will a 400R front bar and GTR wing look nice?

fitted and painted you'll be looking at

$3500 for 400R front bar, factory skirts and rear pods and the GTR wing.

i dont see why the spoiler shop is so expensive, im sure the kits are copies of originals, its easy to make a mould and copy.

You can get a complete commodore kit for half that price, from somewhere like the spoiler factory, OK they only do commo stuff, but the prices and build quality are far superior to the spoiler shop.

Just cause its an import they think they can rip you a new one.

as an example, a 180sx front complete, 650 just to supply it, no paint. 300 for a front lip. Commo kits are half that price, and physically bigger, and require more work.

im sick of people thinking import owners are stupid enough to fall for that crap.

The spoiler shop will never get my business, i havent tried fibrevision yet, next car maybe.

its not so much they assume import drivers are stupid. they see how all other parts for import cars are more expensive than the locally made cars. eg performance and spare parts. and so increase their bodykit prices accordingly, either way its bloody pathetic!

having said that looking at prices for do-luck, veilside, kakimoto and other kits in japan just makes you laugh.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
