I can do it for you man

I do all my own repairs to fibreglass

How bad is the damage

My front and rear bar had shitloads of drift damaged done to them, im surprised the things even held together on the ship to australia

I have the necessary stuff to do a paintjob aswell, but you are probably better getting someone else to do it

THe damage seems pretty minor man

I would probably just try to get some touch up paint and paint over the cracks for the time being

I could put some fibreglass on the bottom side to re-enforce it if you wanted but i would probably leave it until you totally ripped the front lip off on some big arse nasty kerb.

Anyone that fixes that is going to charge you way to much

if you want me to quickly re-enforce it for you let me know

send me an email at [email protected]

mmm not too bad of damage. it is possible to repair the crack yourself. use a fiberglass kit from say supa cheap auto on the back and fill the front with a bit of bog. smooth it out and send it off to a smash repairers for a proper paint finish or you can get a can of gloss black and spray it yourself.

i would recomend bruce as well but damn it takes a long time to get stuff done. took me 2 months of going in there to repair my front spoiler and then said it was going to get replaced then i took it home and fixed it myself. took a while and its not the best but that is what you get for a rushed job and little skill. only cost about $40 too

well, my lovely front bar as seen above is now not so lovely.. someone felt it needed some cracks in it, so now it needs to be repaired, thank god i didnt get it painted :(

are you serious, did you leave it in a carpark and someone took to it and broke it, man that has to suck balls big time, i just got a new frount bar and ive already smashed it twice on kerbs, but only poped out and cracked were the screws near the wheel arch hold it, but if someone intentionly cracked it then goes to show there are some serious crack heads out there

Yep. Straight into it when I was parking!

I did the exact same thing about 2 years ago.. a few months after buying the car. I've had it gaffa taped up until about 2 months ago when i took it off and fibreglassed it myself. Very easy and cheap ($20 for fibreglass repair kit from supercheap auto)

All i have to do is putty over it with body filler and sand, prime then take it somewhere to spray some black over the top. I was quoted abour $100-$125 for a few coats of black from local spray shop if i do the sanding/priming.. probably a cashie

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
