Would anyone be able to tell me if these body kits are a direct fit onto a 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 25GT Coupe? The reason I ask is, is because I'm looking at getting a body kit for my Skyline some time in the not too distant future, and I've heard people saying some body kits require additional work to make them fit and such. Cheers.

genuine bodykits are going to be the best fit.. but you are talking 7k + for a kit..

most fiberglass kits will require some modification to fit but depending on who you buy or how much you pay.. it all comes down to quality.. paying that little extra can make it so much nicer.. i got my front bar & qtr panels from DMD.. they required little modification at all

If you're worried about the parts not fitting, how about going to a shop which will be getting the parts in as well for you?

They won't really charge you more if the parts dont fit, you just pay a fixed amount for the parts and fitting/spraying

and that silver front bumper looks amazing :)

  • 1 month later...

ive got impul sides and rear :) I think they would go well together in my mind just visualising it. im not much of a fan of the impul front bumper.

i'll probably be going with a top secret or something style bar for my front if i ever change it as well

impul goes well with alot, its a nice simple style so it suits alot of diffferent bumpers imo, but id go for something more "boxy" and square like a top secret bumper, rather than something like the altia/aero kit

dori what body kit did you have? I remember seeing ur car in alot of pics while i was lookin for which body kit i wanted and it looked heaps good but i cant remember what it was ... just remember u had a nice one :)

*edit* - the silver one i think is a top secret bumper with a uras bonnet lip - worship.gif

and the blue one is just super sexy but i dont think its an actual car? not too sure

@Jonno - The blue one looks pretty fake.

At the current point in time I don't even know what kit I'd go for, let alone what car..

I'm still on my P plates (green phase (will be off next january though)..

I've only really been looking at skylines and/or the s-chassis cars (Silvias and such)

Reeaaaaaaaaaaaally considering an R34 GT-R conversion on my 25GT, with some 18' R34 GT-R Wheels. I just love the GT-R look, only way to go!

2 x R34 GT-R Front Guards

2 x R34 GT-R Rear Guards

2 x R34 GT-R Side Skirts

1 x R34 GT-R Front Bar

1 x R34 GT-R Rear Bar

1 x R34 GT-R Bonnet

1 x R34 GT-R Nose (the part between the front bar and the bonnet)

Got in contact with a guy who is in the process of getting me a quote for all the genuine parts. Still kind of researching the conversion. Buying the parts, getting the parts painted to match my current factory KV2, getting the parts fitted and having the rear guards welded on since they're not a perfect fit, and then buying a set of R34 GT-R Wheels in good nick... it all equates to $$$!

Will let you guys know if I'll even bother with it, depending on costs and such.

Please, please, please don't.

Don't make it something it isn't, especially on a N/A R34 making less than 100kw.

I've got a genuine GTR bonnet and genuine East Bear bonnet lip for sale, click on my signature if you are interested :)

Guys i thought this was a thread for bodykit reference, not a discussion about kits you want/have etc...

On another note

I came across this thread, albeit a little old, might be a point of contact for anyone wanting a JGTC widebody kit

    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
    • How complicated is PID boost control? To me it really doesn't seem that difficult. I'm not disputing the core assertion (specialization can be better than general purpose solutions), I'm just saying we're 30+ years removed from the days when transistor budgets were in the thousands and we had to hem and haw about whether there's enough ECC DRAM or enough clock cycles or the interrupt handler can respond fast enough to handle another task. I really struggle to see how a Greddy Profec or an HKS EVC7 or whatever else is somehow a far superior solution to what you get in a Haltech Nexus/Elite ECU. I don't see OEMs spending time on dedicated boost control modules in any car I've ever touched. Is there value to separating out a motor controller or engine controller vs an infotainment module? Of course, those are two completely different tasks with highly divergent requirements. The reason why I cite data sheets, service manuals, etc is because as you have clearly suggested I don't know what I'm doing, can't learn how to do anything correctly, and have never actually done anything myself. So when I do offer advice to people I like to use sources that are not just based off of taking my word for it and can be independently verified by others so it's not just my misinterpretation of a primary source.
    • That's awesome, well done! Love all these older Datsun / Nissans so rare now
