stan id b up for a set the bolt directly to the car n not the plastic kick panel and scratches easily. metal is really easy to polish up so i felt this way would b a little better. but thats just my opinion

HI2U: We're looking at 1-2 weeks for the prototype (R34GTT 2 door) then that one is ready to roll out.

For all other models, it all depends on how soon I get confirmation of sizes and how soon I get stuff measured up and drawn. R34GTT panel took 8 hours to draw up, pleae be a little patient.

Primordial: Thanks!

Tangles: Thanks to you too!

KamikazeR33: We could offer you a direct replacement item... it will consist of a brand new kickplate + our panels installed and sent out to you. Of course, this new plate will be from Nissan which will up the cost etc. etc.

Reason why we've gone for the "plate only option" is so members are not going to have to pay heaps to dress up their stock plates. If you are concerned about your existing plates or the installation, we can do both for you (at a premium)

Overall, these units were designed with the client in mind... most people will appreciate that this is going to be kept at the lowest cost possible, but still generate the highest effect!

However, I do appreciate ALL feedback on the designs good and bad... so keep em coming!

:P I'll definitely buy a pair for my 33 if you develop them, my kickplates are all scuffed & dirty.

In my wildest of dreams I'd get some custom made metal kickplates with the "skyline" embossing lighting up when you open the door, like in some mercs. A man can dream :laugh:

Your dream could become a reality but seriously it's not really worth your time and money.

The way to do it would be to get the SKYLINE bit cut out instead of etched, then applying a clear polycarbonate film on the surface. Underneath this panel you'd put in lights of whatever colour, shape or form.

Just thinking about it is making me twitch... the cost would be too great to justify a once-off custom fabrication :P

yep, as I said "in my wildest of dreams"

I could never justify the time & money spent on such a project.

Are you still considering a carbon fibre version? I read some mention of it in thread before this one.

Carbon Fibre version still an option yes...

Anthony, when do you need the 32 plates by? Let me know and I'll get that happening ASAP - still need some plates to measure up dammit!

hey stan, sorry if i confused u i just re read my post n wondered if i really did post that

i meant not to use the plastic panel at all but use a full metal kickplate instead with the design on it? this option may be useful as im going to assume if its just goin to be a rectangular plate it could b a multifit item

Can anyone confirm that the GTR kickplates are identical to the GTST kickplates across all three models?

If this is the case it will save me a lot of time :O

Pretty please somebody?

R34's are. I can tell you that much

Thanks guys...

Kamikazee: The cost involved will not be worth my time or the clients'. Also, having a metal kickplate will not be good as metal does dent - purely keeping it to the small replacement plates will mean that it's more manageable.

    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
