Hi Everyone hope everythings going well with your lines,

Well the time has finally come for me to fix up the body on my skyline before taking it to Regency to finally get my defect removed. I have been looking at all the usual suppliers Monkey Warehouse, DMD Image, VivaGarage etc but only have experience with VivaGarage whose service was fine but the old front bar never quite fitted right.

Has anyone on here recently bought a R33 GTS-T bodykit and if so where did you buy it from and how did it fit etc? Im looking for something a little more stylish I don't like BN, URAS or any of those style kits prefer something with shape yet not as crazy as Veilside. Does anyone have any suggestions I was considering GP Sports as I know someone with a genuine Jap kit so it should fit perfectly but its still a little to BN/URAS for my liking.

I am interested in the Trial style rear/ Genuine Du-Luck Rear and haven't really decided on the front and sideskirts but my stick to my Series 2 Front bar with lower lip and N1 vents but I really have to do something about the rear especially with the new wheels which will be going on once back on the road.

Any feedback on your experiences with suppliers and kit designs would be much appreciated.

Im a big fan of the Do-Luck kit on 33's or even Wise Sports. Or if you want to go really individual you could go AB-FLUG. Got Hyper Rev here if you want to borrow it mate for inspiration.

Damn me for having a sedan, bugger all available!

I've always been told sedan rear bars are different to the coupes, but you might be right Steve, cant see them changing the mounts too much.

yeah really not sure would be interesting to see how different

could always get Msports kit they come in 4door

call kane from eyecandy autos, 0406 366 502, he has lots of stuff (so much he donated a full JUN body kit for an r33 to SAU for the bushfire appeal) he can supply, paint & fit it for you.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
