ill say it again, by far the best kit available for a GT/T :D

were they genuine items or fibreglass?

does anyone know how much the genuine plastic IMPUL side skirts for an R34 GTT cost ? I have the carmate ones installed and while the fit is good they've managed to crack them in 2 corners while fitting, leave a couple of gaps etc .. and I'm fretting everytime passengers get in/out of the car just waiting for someone to snag on the passenger sideskirts and crack it good

thats generally the case with copy kits in fibreglass.

actually come to think of it a few months ago someone on SAU was selling what he claimed was a genuine full impul kit and IIRC according to him it also was made from fibreglass (presumbably thicker and more accurate then the copies floating around) Can anyone confirm ?

  • 3 months later...

so guys what's the best deal? or should I say, 'Best Fit' from the copies?

- carmate

- J Racing

- PSI

- DMD

- empire aero

I've also heard that 'original' kits are fibreglass.

here's a link to a carbon fiber one in the US - looks bloody nice :D but $$

I'm keen to buy a full kit or at least a front bar and side skirt.

if you have a 'copy' kit installed, please post any updated comments. fitting?, cracking? or general durability? and where you purchased the kit.

Cheers!!

since you're in brissy go with DMD ..from memory they're up there too and they have a much better rep than carmate. The fittment on my carmate rar bar was perfect ..side skirts were about 90% BUT the paintjob was an absolute shocker...

cheers for the comments! the %% rating for fitting is very helpful

I'm keen to hear from anyone that has had an 34 GTT Impul kit installed / purchased from DMD or sites. more comments?

The original kits are in fibreglass. From what i know it's good quality fb and it's a direct fit compared to copies.

If you want a genuine Impul front bar pm me and i'll hook you up with the seller, assuming he's still got it. I got my side skirts off him last week and it's in a very good condition. Here's the pic after washing 10yrs dirt off the skirts :

For what it's worth, a mate of mine recently got this kit for his White 34 GT. We went with Carmate (Supply, paint & fit) as they were the only people closeby our research could find. Didn't have any issues dealing with them and the end result isn't bad, paint looks fine and the fitment is pretty good, a few minor imperfections at worst but you'd practically have to point them out to notice.

Friend and I were skeptical given the rep, but we took the gamble anyway, for us we're pretty happy with the outcome. Might get pics once the car is cleaned up.

I just bought a Impul kit and is being delivered as we speak, I will post up pix of my black R34 for everyone once its all done.

GTR wing and custom bonnet to match if all comes together.

P.S if you are happy with a job its not good enough, you drive a skyline not a VW would you buy a new car with a OK engine and still pay for a car with a perfect engine?

Neways cheers.

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
