I've been looking for some for my R33 for AGES.. There doesnt seem to be any places that sell them :D

If you do come across somewhere that sells them, start a group buy! Im sure there would be HEAPS of people interested in these. :D

I know they produce some for R33....I've seen ppl selling 2nd hand in the forum, but I'm not sure where they get them...

yeah I;ve been looking for those plates for R34 as well...have you seen the ones in Mercs? the writing actually glows..looks damn nice

ok who wants to put their hand up to make these?? :P Looks like we could get a group buy happening??? Ppl are making personalised nissan badges and so forth, making these kick plates would be a piece of cake for someone who knows their way round metal fabrication...even key cutting places that do engraving might be able to do them if we supply the correct plate??

Little update... n15m0 has come to me with this kickplate proposal and we are looking at getting it done. I've talked to my suppliers and staff and we think it's doable without too much complication.

2 Options:

1) Re-use existing kickplate and mount custom plate on top

2) Replace exisint kickplate with a full plastic/metal integrated plate

Either way we will need the R32, R33 and R34 kickplates for dimensions and moulds in order to make this a reality. I already have access to all three so that's not an issue.

Will keep you all posted.

EDIT: We are looking at the laser etching process to get the designs onto the metal - basically you can have anything you want from Letters to Pictures.

I think a complete replacement option would be the way to go, providing the cost isnt too crazy.

You could also sell them on Ebay or sell them to online car stores, and make some profit if they are replacement items too.

Overall I'd prefer replacement items, but if the cost is more than 50% more than using existing items, it's probably not worth it.

Just my 2c :P

    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25 The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing 
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
