Hi all!

Bought a Nismo 400R kit, along with a GTR-spoiler, a few weeks ago, fixed all mountingspots and go it painted.

This morning i went to the paintshop and picked it up and started mounting it.

Some friends came over (the white EVO3 with aftermarket front, fitting the rest tomorrow :), and a celica gt4 -96) and helped me get it done.

Well heres the result, just need to paint the lower part of the doors and behind the sideskirts and its all done!

All parts where in a really good condition, just needed to grind some extra fiberglass off and thats it! Im getting a new hood, 400R style, as soon as they arrive to the shop, then its the way i like it :) Well almost, wouldnt have hurt if it was a real 400R beast ;)

What do you think?

Cheers

Thanks for all your comments! Happy to hear :D

The decals are gonna go, taking them off when im repainting the lower part of the doors and behind the sideskirts! They look kind bad and takes away the clean look of it.

Im overall very happy with the result! The comments i get from people at the streets are really nice!

U sure thats the 400R side skirt and rear bar?????

with that much flare on the side skirts i could've sworn it was the Jun's Side skirt, same goes for the rear bar.

got anymore photos?

I can say im sure... that its not :yes: You're right when you say its JUN skirts and rear bar! They're giving the car a sleeker look in my eyes :( And apperently the 400R skirts are a little harder to get hold of since most manufacturers just go for the JUN skirts since they look alike!

Im gonna upload some more pictures later, showing the rear :ninja:

It all sat me back, with the paint included, about 2,000 AU$ with a fair bit of discount from the shop ;) I fitted it myself, or that would have cost me about 500 AU$ extra.

Cheers!

    • Welcome!  How long have you had it? And what colour is it?
    • "CAD" version 1.0 It will have a 15mm lip around the top for 6 × 5 or 6mm nutserts and fixtures (two on each of the three straight edges), and some pinch weld on any exposed edges, it has three mounting points, one of the power steering reservoir bolts, and two on the rad support, my 120mm hole saw will make short work of hole for the silicone joiner, with ample room for some pinch weld  I've also got enough Carbuilders "peel and stick" heat shield to cover the outside of it at the coolant expansion tank and on the engine side, as pictured, and internally on the lid and where the fuse box is, I've also got some thin, about 3mm, black 3M single sided sticky foam stuff that was left over after sealing some door drafts at home to help seal the lid As for the shape, it "sort of" matches the shape of the fuse box, so shouldn't look to "out of place" The lower area and hole for the intake will need pinch weld with a balloon on it to fully seal the hole and bottom of it, that will happen after it has been fabricated so I know exactly what size is required  Filter service has been trialed,  and so far it was a simple process  Just need to get some alloy, and then head into work to use the guillotine and break press in the workshop Hopefully it should be sorted in a week or two Guestimated outlay will be under a $50 for the stuff I don't have on hand (alloy, 6mm nutserts, the pinch weld, and wrinkle paint) Disclaimer: That's what the "voices in my head" are telling me how the filter box should end up getting done......lets see if they know what they are talking about  
    • Have been polishing up the trailer rims as they had been sitting in the shed for a few years and are really in need of some love. This was after a couple of passes with chrome polish - coming up quite well ✅ .
    • Welcome aboard! Is your Skyline auto or manual? I'm assuming manual. Does it have any mods done yet?
    • Hey mate, the brown and grey plugs would usually go to the TPS, brown one goes on the bottom connector and grey is the top but isn't used unless the car is auto, your TPS looks different to mine though I've got a series 2 engine.
