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.

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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
