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

if you want my bf can repair and paint it for you.  can clear out all the other small chips from the front bar too.

we can work out a price if you like just PM if ur interested.

Cheers

Cheers Peta,

I touched it up myself yesterday, but if I can get it done properly and get rid of tha chips it'd be better.

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

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
