Hey,

I've got the stock body kit on my R33 S1 1993 but I am looking at buying a custom body kit for it in a few months hopefully 3-4.

I was wondering how much rougly I would be looking at to get it painted (Gunmetal Grey).

Also, how much do you think I would rougly get for the bodykit that is currently on the car the stock one, very good condition also.

Thanks :)

It'll normally cost close to $900 to get the kit done.

From the quotes I've researched shops usually charge around $300 per panel/piece - so front bumper + rear bumper + sideskirts = $900

:) Thanks for that, I didn't think it'd be that much to be honest ah well I'll see whats around my local area and get some rough prices as well, but thanks heaps for that!

If you have a full type M factory bodykit wth rear pods, you could sell it all separately and get $400 - $500.

I would just keep the factory kit. At least it fits properly >_<

depending who fits the kit, if it will fit property .

$350 to fit skirts? mate the guy who's fitting these must be laughing. I got my kit fitted, painted the factory metalic silvermatched paint, supplied paint / fitted kit for $550 and that was a front, skirts and pods.

to fit skirts its a tube of sikaflex and 4 screw you can do it your self if you really want to.

And if you want to know the quality and fitment of this kit i can post pics and show you how exceptional it sits, with no gaps at all.

shop around first, coz most places, the first question they ask is what car you own and the second you tell them a skyline they will just jack the price up coz its an import, so try and avoid telling them what car its for, just say a 2door coupe.

i got quotes to fit it alone without paint for $1200 and i just laughed and said yeah no worries, do i sound like im an idiot and had a few verbal arguements , but some places have not a single clue on how to do business

    • So many people don't notice it, as batteries decay slowly over time. Two big reasons people end up noticing and needing to replace batteries: 1) The cold weather. The cold not only makes it harder to turn the engine for a few reasons, but it also increases the batteries internal resistance. So this means you need MORE power to turn a colder engine, AND the battery has a lower limit on how much current it can provide. 2) Something gets modified/altered/added in the wiring, typically an aftermarket accessory, like a dash camera, or an alarm etc, and this adds a small amount extra onto the battery, and pushes it over the edge in its failing days. But if you hadn't have read this thread, and just pushed through, chances are you might have made it through this winter, just. But come next winter, it would have been kapoot. But the fact you changed it out now, means you've instantly noticed how much nicer it is for starting, and will be less worry for you that the engine won't start now.
    • Holy shit, I'm glad you brought up the battery issue and I'm glad I asked about measuring it. Old battery was at a healthy 12.82V in the morning with the car turned off. Removed the fuel pump fuse, clamped the multimeter on at min/max/average and cranked for ~3 seconds. It dropped down to 8.30V. So yeah, not surprising it struggled that much. Picked up a fresh battery from supercheap and it's ridiculous. Haven't done a cold start yet, but man, even with a warm start the difference is night and day. I can't believe I lived with this for so long. Just blamed it on it being an old modified car. Went with Century because convenient. If they are shit it'll be a future me problem. But just in case I set up a reminder for 30 months - 8 weeks to check on the battery state and get a warranty replacement if necessary. 
    • There's another sensor that sits inside the evaporator, that's a C U N T to get to, but can be done without removing the entire unit. Usually it's not the sensor that dies but the actual capacitor in the circuit (part of the plug that dies).  
    • Putting the climate control CU into diagnostic mode is independent of the ECU. You just have to do the dance prescribed in the manual. No, I do not know what the dance is. I have an R32, so use the dance in the R32 manual. On older cars, I would have said "no, the ECU should not affect whether the A/C works".... but for an R34 that might be wrong. I don't recall the detail, but there was extra mods required to make my R32 A/C work against the R34 ECU. The R34 ECU apparently gets involved in the running of the A/C more than earlier cars did. Theoretically, if the PFC is a true plug in, then it should just work the way that the original ECU does - wrt A/C. But there's always scope for them to have not cared. Nope. Pressure switch out = getting the fridgey out to pump the gas out before pulling the switch. The switch really cannot sense gas pressure unless it is up against the gas.
