hey, im lookin at gettin a kit for my r33 series one...

But i have only come across two places so far

1 ) Viva Garage, fair prices but very limited selection

2 ) Autostyling on main north rd, great selection of kits, but 2500 painted and fitted is harsh

anyone know of anymore places? ive already checked the workshop links on the forum, and none of them listed seem to do cosmetic mods

please feel free to put up some pics of your bodykits, as i still need ideas :D

well i am getting my kit from someone who got it from viva garage.......the kits that viva have are limited in selection but they hold some of the good stuff......not a lot of kits do suit the r33's....i have a s1 and i am getting TVRS front and BN sides and rear....which is what i was after....i guess it makes a bit of a difference when you have an idea on what you want your car to look like....

great.....now thats great lol....ahh well i am picking it up for cheap so a wee bit of rework wont hurt.....people also said that about speed dreams back in the days and i had no probs with their stuff

R33 DO-LUCK looks sexc source it from DMD Garage in QLD they will send it down for you well worth it and perfect fit. go to google and type in DMD image and you will find their website =] but yea do-luck r33 ftw!

2500 painted and fitted is a good price! remember these kits will need a lot of work to look good. I went full kit,carbon bonnet,ganadors mirrors and gtr wing and it makes the line look a lot better then stock but each to their own

Do your self a favour and pump and lip the gaurds the stock gaurds make the r33 look ugly and like a 380 lol

all kits available locally are pieces of crap quality-wise, and will cost AT LEAST $2,500 painted and fitted. When I got a kit for my S15 it cost $1,300 to paint and fit.

Try and get a plastic or resin kit - fibreglass just sucks.

do yourself a favour and get a stock m spec kit....dont ruin a nice car with a gay kit.

i agree! ever since i got rid of my bn sides, rear and trust front and put it all back to standard i never loved my car more! but that's my preference

otherwise here's the only kit i would put on a r33! if i remember a while back there was a white r33 called gtnik from WA who had this kit!

agreed!!!

sideskirts, rear pods, front bar + lip and your laughing.

i wouldnt reccomend autostyling and i doubt many others on this forum will.

Vivagarage are nice folk but yea...alot of their kits need rework and are hardly a perfect fit.

Wreckers / Ebay / Trader section ftw. Go down to doyle crash and get them to respray your seccond hand kit and fit it, theyl match the colors pretty much perfect and you wont end up paying too much considering the quality of work done!

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
