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

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
