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)?

Cheers

Show some pics.. then we can look at what side skirts your talking about (might not even be 400r

If you go to the following link you will see them:

As you can see the skirts on the white R33 don't have holes in them....

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

when u get it painted, ask the person to fill up the hole

Its 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.

the only reason I suggest mybodykits off ebay is because Ive bought quite a few things off him full kit m-sport r33/r32 gtr front bar/r33 trial front bar and they have been the best quality fibreglass I've used anyway its up to you..

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.

:D

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.

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?

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.

And you'd modify edges on the top that don't touch anything because....??

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.

    • Hi all. So I have my GTR on the lift and have been working on it a few days and today I unpacked the frontpipe that was wrapped with heat wrap stuff, because part of it was breaking down and soaked in oil. Noticed that the pipe itself does not actually look like a Mines, despite it supposedly being a Mines. But I could not find any fronpipe online that looks exacly like his, and I don't think it is a custom one. My amateur measurement also showed the two pipes are about equal length, so maybe this is just an old version of the Mines pipe? Would appreciate insight on this by the enlightened folks. greetings from Germany
    • Yeah. If I plug the connector in and connect the vacuum lines, I assume worse case scenario is that it simply doesn't work? Yep PFC.
    • I would think that rather than attempting to perform an engine swap, with all the difficulties associated with doing so in a country where the raw materials required are harder to get hold of, I would just build the CA20 for boost, find an EFI manifold for it and either add a turbo or a supercharger. Or both. You replace one set of difficulties with a different set, but I know which would be more fun.
    • Well, a proper aftermarket ECU** SHOULD be set up to run the purge solenoid, same as the factory ECU would, so that the tank breather system continues to operate the way it is supposed to. I have no knowledge of whether the PFC (which is what I assume you mean when you say Apexi) has an output (and internal logic) to run the purge solenoid. If it does not, then given the product design intent for the PFC, which is to be a plug in replacement for the stock ECU, I would consider that a massive failing on Apexi's behalf and would be another reason to think that they were a half-arsed solution to the problem if programmable management on RBs. I would suggest that since Nistune came to market (which is a LOOOOONG time ago now) there has been no valid argument for choosing a PFC, especially if the PFC can't do things like this.   **ie, Haltach, Link, Motec, etc
    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
