Tangles: Stageas were in the initial post... sif I'd forget about you :(

Let me know when you want some details etc; ie either photos and measurements, or for me to post the kickplate off to you, Satanic.

Stan, if it's easier for you to measure them directly, I can probably bring my Stagea for measurements, photos, and whatever else is needed. We can pull one off the front and rear, find out where the clips/holes are, etc.

Let me know if that's a preferred method. I'm out near Parramatta.

Cheers,

Nick

Hi

Just a little update on the situation... I've received the quotes back from my suppliers overseas and am quite shocked at what the prototype is going to cost me to make :sweat:

On top of that I've been hit with a minimum order per item so that's going to pose as a big strain/risk on my behalf. I've sent back further submissions for a revised quote, and I'm waiting for a response. Hopefully it's all good *fingers crossed*

Also, turn around time for the prototype has just "magically" jumped to 4 weeks! :(

  • 3 weeks later...

KamikazeR33 - I was thinking along the same lines. My A4 had metal plates and I loved them.

Satanic - Count me in for an interested party. I'm sure it will add some class.

Due to the higher than expected tooling cost for this exercise ($4K USD for the R34 plates alone) I have decided that this is not an economical thing to pursue. I would have to fork out the initial cost and then attempt to make it back through sales which is probably never going to happen :)

Minimum orders per series of kickplate is also in the hundreds so that is another reason why it's been halted.

Sorry guys, I tried... numbers just didn't work out!

Ahh bugger ey :) Well thankyou satanic for putting the time and effort into finding out for the rest of us. Champion effort :D

Satanic - Do you have an pics of the actual kickplates you were going to make up, doesn't have to be the exact same just an example. Might be able to help out with making them up. From what has been said I have a similar thing in my commodore I think?

    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.

    • Welcome Gabriel. At least your car has a glorious RB and not the shitty CA18. As MBS206 mentioned all the good bits can be added later. Two doors or four?
    • And half of them have been converted to turbos.
