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.

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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
