Dude, take a real close look at the grill, it looks a bit strange to me, not like a standard GTR one. I went and had a look at it, it has large sections in the middle and at he side in front of the mesh that just don't quite look rite to me. The workmanship however seemed OK, just a matter of taste I guess.

Edit, by the way the kit that I looked at was fitted, and seemed like a pretty good fit, no noticable problems

i agree with steve on the grill, its not that good looking, has got a bit bit of fibreglass that the "S" badge sits on, just doesn't look right.

but as he said all the bumpers and skirts i have seen from there look pretty sweet, and seem to fit real well.

Cam.

bruce is a champ and i can guarentee (well almost) that his work will be flawless despite the price

i can't and i've seen a fair few of his peices.

show cars he seems to do a great job on, daily drivers seems any old piece will do.

Okay let me see i have dealt with both places.

I have previously bought a GTR front bar from Autoworx as well as 4ooR skirts and GTR rear pods.

Now the front bar didnt fit, not cos of workmanship but because the series 2 front end dont like series 1 gtr bars. lol

dang shape is totally different.

Paul had no issues with refunding the money to me because it didnt fit. he even offered the series 1 nismo bar they have as well to see if that would fit, while i still had the GTR one. Now many places are not that trusting, but he was fine with it. Neither fitted so yeah he refunded the cashiola and i was on my way. kept the skirts and the pods though, hehe

Now off to Fibrevision to get me a front bar. I ended up with a GTR bar from there but it is that trust one, with a bit of a twist that i wanted. all was done fine, they ripped the top off and customed it to fit a series II. all good no dramas, except it is slightly crooked where they have grafted on a grille. hard to tell at 140KPH but its still there.

Then i thought hell these guys are the experts let me give them the skirts and the rear pods and they can fit it all up etc.

Well they fitted the skirts crap with sikaflex in thick chunks and then in thin lines etc, nothing consitent and it is black on a white car so it looks like it is not attached to the car. so i gotta go and touch up the black sikaflex with white paint now. and the rear pods are also fitted crap. no sikaflex at all, with gaps and stuff cos it is not bonded to the car.

So yeah if you guys ever see me in the next month and the stuff is not fixed you can have a look. I think it could be more to do with the fact that this was done on a friday. (afternoon piss up as usual)

I havent done this but let me attach a pic of the front bar.

Okay here is what they look like, very similar but look at the black crap.

it might be small, but when you are dealing with a line you do want some sorta perfection right. and adam i agree i have heard only good things about bruce. but i feel that if you arent chucking around $$$$ for a major project then it gets stepped aside fairly quickly.

:P

Did you guys ever see CPR? That car has misaligned panels and big dodgy gaps everywhere...and this was supposedly a bit of "master" work from Fibercrap. I have never seen a car from there that looked schmick.

The S14 at PAS was not too bad though, mind you, I did not get a chance to have a real close look at it.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
