New Rear Aero

[kuramaya]

Well since I have had my car, I thought the @ss end looks like shit...I had speed factory (my local parts hook up) order me the DMAX rear aero and should be getting it early next week...what do you all think of this style?

[smellslikecurry]

the bumpers nice but i dont like how the fender bulge up a little

[chmercer]

looks like vertex. which looks like version select/origin. which costs less than dmax. whatever.

[kuramaya]

smellslikecurry - I'm just getting the rear pice, I already have sides and front

chmercer - I have a hook up, only Paying 15,000 Yen for the bumper new with Paint direct from DMAX to Speed factory here. Problem is air freight from Mainland is costing 12,000 so overall cost is 27,000 or $245.00 U.S. That is cheap...

[Dousan_PG]

what do you have for the restof your aero?
i hope not just a rear bumper..haha

[jdm538]

i dont know but i hope it will match up with your sides that looks kind of agressive.

Just click my sig

[Dousan_PG]

ah
ooh aero wont look so hot dood
doesnt match rest of car
and DMAX aero will sit lower then the rest of your aero

dont mix and match aeros.
its like BN sporst and the rest stock.
bad news bears. bad news.

price is OK too. not that great.
couldve gotten those yahoo japan aero kits for cheap too. or the ones i see i nDoriten..ack.

yeah well I went to put the money down on the Aero and Buy a Tomei Metal Headgasket...well since I am changing out the headgasket anyway I decided to buy a T28 at the same time...so no money for aero now...oh well I will start saving again...,maybe next month...or November for my birthday...Gonna be selling my T25 Now for 150.00 Plus shipping. Boosts to .75 bar all day..

[chmercer]

oh yikes... yeah i didnt check your sig. gonna agree with dousan, its not gonna line up right... but maybe you could save up and grap the front and sides later on, or somthing

[*NismoS13*]

I think it looks nice...but it kind of looks like every other S13 rear bumper out there...

The only different might be the bigger slope near the tire. ???

[tastyratz]

agreed its not going to line up with anything unfortuanately, you have nice aero on you car, and this bumper is a nice piece as well.... just dont match. your car might look good with something like a pdm rear lip id say...

[Dousan_PG]

why change your headgasket? yo urelaly dont need to until you blow it or start running like 350HP
that was the advice ive been given not only from american shops and drivers, but also my friends, who drive in d1gp japan (japanese drivers).
no point. why waste the time??? stockdoes the job..and when it doesnt, it will go kaputs.
unless its blown now, leave it be.
and it doesnt seem you do your own work,so why spend more money?
i run a solid 1 bar w/ no bov on my s14 sr. daily driven. replace when it blows up. until then, enjoy it.

1. Where did you get the idea that it seems I do not do my own work?
I do all my own work, really I want to know...

2. Headgasket swap on a 1995 car is very important and a step that must be taken prior to bigger and better things...why wait till it blows...at 1 Bar all day, yours will soon or is getting bad....how often do you pull your plugs and check...

oh boy, and here it goes, international thugging!

to stay on track, that is a nice kit, but with s13 hatch, you really can't get very different rears (aftermarket style, not conservative oem style), they all pretty much resemble each other (vertex, etc, "design" wise) unless you get something like BN sports, then you are just zamboni style, the kinda crap that dousan likes har har.

i would've gone 3 piece rear kouki, not my cup of tea but would flow more smoothly with your aero thus far. your car is clean, nice color with the emotion choice, i would slam it and run 20mm spacer all around tho, would look sick.

[Dousan_PG]

i do regular maintenance
i remember the wheel thread thats all, thats why i though didnt do your own stuff it seemed you were kinda clueless then
anwyays good luck on your ventures.
and to the canuck, piss off.

[kuramaya]

A Spec Products - no thuggin man, just askin....Yeah I agree some spacers are needed...I was waiting for my JCI Inspection to be complete then I will bring it back down 3 cm's in the front and 2 cm's in the back and run 10mm spacers....I passed on the rear piece last night cause DMAX told the place I was ordering they wanted too much for shipping, so they are just going to check around locally over the next few weeks for one....They all do look pretty much the same, some of the copies look good as well but you dont know about the lines matching up until it is too late...we shall see...now I have to concentrate on this HG and new (used) T28 I am dropping in...

Dousan_PG - Nah brother, I think I even said in the wheels thread I was asking cause I really dont know shit about what wheels are the heat as of now...most people run older wheels, I had some extra money and wanted to buy a brand new set..I did receive a bit of flame on the wheels..but thats what these forums are for..The only thing I do not do myself is tune the A/F...The APEXi shop here only charges 30,000 Yen for an SAFC Tune and they have their own DYNO. I have friends with Widebands and all, and know how to tune...just dont have a dyno and street tuning which is done by many here could cause me to lose my liscense and that would suck...

thats cool man
didnt mean to sound to give you crap just a lot of pepole dont do any of theirown ork beyond suspension and whatnot, so wasnt sure

like i said, good luck, car looks cool though.

[Ian]

hey dousan, how come you dont run a BOV? any specific reason for that?

[Dousan_PG]

one less thing to break
all i have is my intercooler, and two pipes 8 tbolt clamps and 4 boots
no wories for leaks
had a greddy RS
sold it.

and dont relaly care
its a stock t28
shit is cheap.

Thanks..we have a hobby shop here on base that makes it more than easy to do everything to your car except for alignments....with an FSM, anyone is a mechanic :rawk:

[SHIFT_control]

^^^^^This is not true. I know a couple of people that would fuck a car up even more with a FSM.

[tastyratz]

lmao man 1 less thing to break no bov means several more things to break. bov is cheaper than replacing a turbo all the time... hell if you dont care for a big ol blingey get an aem bov from like a 1g dsm or just a cheap autozone bosch bov. turbos are cheap but not THAT cheap

[Dousan_PG]

my job is great. i never pay anything close to retail, friends w/ turbine connections at companies and thru sponsors, and im happy with compressor surge flutter.
so i really dont care.
and its a t28.
maybe when i upgrade ill change my mind.
my friends with nearly stock cars, to 300+ to 500 HP cars dont run bovs and track (mostly drifting) regularly. no problems ever.
until then, i dont care.
and what doesit matter to you?
its my setup
if i had a HUGE gt wing gtr badges and shit i still wouldnt care what you think. why?


its my car. fuck off.

[kuramaya]

Well Since I started this thread, more performance sh1t became important than a rear Aero, .....I was at Speed Factory, The Place I buy most of my Mods from when I was Getting my Head Gasket and T28, and mentioned to the guy there I was looking for a rear aero piece that wasnt boxey like most of the kits around. He went in the back and pulled out these beat up rear aero lip pieces and handed them to me for free. They were Blue, had holes in them and looked like crap but I couldnt be rude so I took 'em. They sat in my backyard for the last month until I went with my Buddy to a body shop he had his car painted at and asked the guy how much to paint the pieces. He is cool as hell and told me he would paint, repair, and set them up for 15,000 Yen...That is pretty damn cheap so what the hell I had him do it..(550's now have to wait another couple weeks) Here are some before and after shots, let me know if you think they replace my need for a rear bumper now:

That flows pretty damn well. Much better than your previous choice.

[Revolver Ocelot]

Look nice. But they do sort of make the sideskirts look higher.

[kuramaya]

240FaLKoN - Thanks Man! I like em more that I look at em

Revolver Ocelot - It's an optical illusion, my side skirts actaully have about 2cm's of black on the bottom, they came with the car so I just leave them as is...you can tell if you look closely at the pics...they are even in length..
thanks brother...
