does anyone out there know where i can get a body kit for my ts wagon in sydney/surrounds? Also, while driving at mid range speeds, my car seems to hit tiny walls where there is a very slight loss in power under pedal. I think it is probablly just dirty injectors but if anyone else has or had this problem can you give me some ideas?

The only commercially available kit I know of is from SSV
www.ssv.com.au they have nice side skirts, but the front bar leaves a lot to be desired.
I want to get the japanese Vanity Kit, but I think the costs of importing and the fact that it might not fit properly is making my change my mind
I'll post pics of it if you want

Dude..where's jetspeed?

all their info can be found on www.jetspeed.com.au
It is a good idea to visit them as well as they have many more pics of cars they have kitted out. And are very helpful...unlike someother kit companys who said either 'no there isnt a market for magnas' (asking for a one off custom kit???) or 'come back in a month and well talk'
Jetspeed where keen as...very willing and all info you want!

ive only had it for a week so about all ive done is washed it! looking at probably lowered springs/shocks, 2 1/2"extractors through to muffler, 16" mags, the body kit if it works out, then once it looks pretty start with some real mods under the hood.

yep and its good how the biggest companies are part of it....check it out guys
MAGWGN
07-05-2003, 05:08 PM
yeah ive checked it out already and its got squat for tr/ts's in pre fab molds. only places that might do custom jobs but then you gotta pay out your arse! the only place i still know of is ssv that carry kits of the shelf and i also found that jetspeed have one already cast custom front bar available but for some reason they still charge you custom prices. it looks alright though. if you go to the jetspped site (link on previous page) and search magna in the custom category it should come up, its the only one.
Killbilly
07-05-2003, 05:31 PM
Yeah that's craig harrison's TR
That was a custom job..Im guessing that's why they'll charge custom prices to do it again

theres definately not much available for the magnas...and the ones that are i think are pretty ugly
but thats my opinion :lol:

Rumor has it, and this is only what i've heard, but a Current shape magna front bar will fit a TR-TS. If this is true, slap 1 on with the VR-X skirt. I'm planning to put the VR-X skirt on my existing TS bar, cut and paste with some bog and carbon, bobs your uncle. I'm gonna put a carbon/kevlar scratch plate along the bottom as well, just to add to wank factor

i donno bout that, im sure if it fitted there would be some 'vrx' style TR/TS' hangin round?
youd have to ask killbilly, but ive never heard any indication that they will bolt up together :?
they just dont look right, the TE+ looks more rouned than the TR/TS equlivent :?
well get boggin mate. your gonna need plenty of it :lol: :lol: :lol:
Curry
20-06-2003, 10:01 PM
well doens't really matter if it fits if it looks crap
it looks crap
but something to think about
might see if i can borrow some bits of kits from mitsu (my dad works there) see how itll look
lets us know how the cut and paste goes
Killbilly
21-06-2003, 05:39 AM
Im not sure TZABOY, it's possible. I think that if it doesnt fit it'd only need minor changes as they're not that much different in width to the tr/ts
Maybe only the mounting points will need to be changed?
Would be interesting to see a TR/TS with a vrx front bar ;)
MAGWGN
21-06-2003, 06:17 PM
well ive still not found anymore through all my searching but then i heard that the front bar on a certain model of skyline might fit almost perfectly. has anyone else heard anything about this. it would definately open up some vast possibilities. i also heard of a guy who fixes all types of non metal body parts so i might get in contact with him and see if he could help with some custom fiddling with the old bar. let ypu all know how i go.

If your looking for other cars with similar shapes...
There was a guy on an American Diamante site who had fitted a Lexus LS400 kit to his Diamante with a few small mods (small to him - complex to me).
We have a local spoiler kit place here that advertises as off-the shelf kits and Custom jobs but if you walk in off the street and ask for TS Magna spoilers and kits - all they offer you is the standard sedan bootlid spoiler!
Good luck guys - I think I have decided that even if a kit was to be found - I probably wouldn't be able to afford it or justify it (I'm a family man).
i don;t like promoting other magna sites , but it you go to the gallery section of this american site and scroll down, there are some totally awesome kits including new zullend boyz and gullz kets!!! :lol: http://www.fastmagna.20m.com
Correction: Its an Australia site... most of the cars there are Australian plus a few N.Z as you say, a few U.S Diamante's and a few from Europe, etc.
As most of you would like to see pics... here ya go!

P.S: as for giving other magna sites a plug... why not? Its hard enuff to find good Magna info on the net! :D

now when you say 'modified r33 bar' how much was modified?
MAGWGN
25-08-2003, 08:15 PM
i was just about to ask the same question. also did you buy the bar then mod and fit it or did you get it ready to go?
the bar was already modified when I got it... I'm not sure how much was modified but I am guessing the top part and the sides where it joins up to the wheel arch.
The person I had bought it from had it fitted to a TR Magna. It came like this:
http://www.fastmagna.com/km/frontbar/bodykit_damage.jpg
So I had a bit of repairs to do as well.
And it was almost mine. :(
got shafted, if only i had known how much bodykits were worth at the time!!! :evil:
:lol: :lol:
But its ok, i got the wing :D :D

hey pradaking, hows it going? :) Did you end up getting your Magna fixed up and the spoiler put on?
argh! :( No, the car was written off by one of my room mates :(
So i got a new KR Verada and i am startin all over again. The Spoilter is sittin under the bed at the moment.... I reckon i will keep my current colour (burgundy/Silver) but i don't know? so the $200+ paint/fitting (AGAIN) can wait a while
Ahhh.. the joys of car ownership...
Cam.
P.S I'll still take your front spoiler if you decide you don't want it ;)

Pradaking,
I fully understand your disapointment. I bidded against Kim (sorry Kim, I didn't know you then) on ebay for the kit but as I had only just bought my car I couldn't afford anymore - Kim beat me. :(
However, Kim was nice and sent me the Magna Website address. :)
Also, It's nice to see it fitted. ;)
Catch ya later.
ya pricks... i coulda got it cheaper! :evil:
hehe kidding :lol:
I'd like to be able to get a mould of the kit done so I could sell it... but no one in Tasmania would do that kind of bodykit work. Basically the only bodykit places here have off-the-shelf stuff and dont do custom work :(
does anyone out there know where i can get a body kit for my ts wagon in sydney/surrounds? Also, while driving at mid range speeds, my car seems to hit tiny walls where there is a very slight loss in power under pedal. I think it is probablly just dirty injectors but if anyone else has or had this problem can you give me some ideas?
Same problem mate but my power lost is noticiable.
Let me know how you solve it please.
