Turbz RB-25 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi guys, I am intending to purchase 400R side skirts for my R33, but I noticed that there are some going around without the little vent thing in them, (i.e. without the cut outin the side skirt) Are these also 400R side skirts, if so, where can I get my hands on some that don't have the cut out (saves me from having to fiberglass the one with the hole)?

Pattygtst Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 dont touch anything off ebay. I would say that white 400r kit might have white mesh on there. Having said that however i got some jun sides off ebay. They didnt have holes cut, the were broken and they were of real shit quality. NEVER BUY A KIT FROM EBAY ^ worst advise ever Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256843-400r-side-skirts-help-needed/#findComment-4424078 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzm033 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 when u get it painted, ask the person to fill up the hole Its not a big job but may cost a little extra Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256843-400r-side-skirts-help-needed/#findComment-4424994 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbz RB-25 Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 when u get it painted, ask the person to fill up the holeIts not a big job but may cost a little extra I will be painting and fitting them myself, it would just save me time not having to fibreglass it by getting it without the whole. Thanks anyways lads. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256843-400r-side-skirts-help-needed/#findComment-4425099 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I did purchase them from him, good quality stuff I must say, feels very sturdy. I fiberglassed the holes and painted them. Will post pics soon. job turned out well, would have saved me some time but not to fibre glass them.

Turbz RB-25 Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 looks good man did u do a prefit b4 the skirts were painted? Uhhh no... was I supposed to? Can't I assume that if I buy something that it will fit? Will it be a big deal since I didn't do a pre fit?

Pattygtst Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Should always pre fit body kits cause they rarely fit. You might get lucky but more then likely you may have to do some changes to get it to fit.

You might get lucky but more then likely you may have to do some changes to get it to fit. WHat sort of changes? WHy would painting it matter? If you did have to make alterations, commen sense tells me that it would be on the edges or on the inside of the side skirt, why would you have to modify the outside of the skirt since it doesn't impeed on anything?

Pattygtst Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 well if you had to modify the edges on top of the paint job it would be seen wouldnt it? In that case if you wanted it to look pro you would have to re do the paint. Common sense would have told me to pre fit before paint but what ever you say.

Pattygtst Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 as i said because it would be SEEN! When you open the door. Also what if you havent sanded it down enough and you close the door and it hits the skirt, then you will chip or remove a layer of paint/fibreglass.

johnbarry88 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 as said above paint makes things thicker and can/will chip or scratch badly when opening doors...this is why u test fit to make sure Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/256843-400r-side-skirts-help-needed/#findComment-4461741 Share on other sites More sharing options...
