Hi guys, Ive been looking for a skyline for some time now, just waiting for the right one to pop up. Looking at an r33 gtst.

Im a complete amatuer, so Ive got a few questions:

1) Bodykits - where can i get them here in Perth? I know i can get them online etc, but is there an actual store i can go to and buy them?

Where can i get them fitted too?

2) What do you think is a nice bodykit for the r33? Trust and do-luck seem to be pretty popular from what ive seen.

3) Paintjobs - Any good places you know i can get them done? How much?

All help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance :happy:

alrighty then :P

uhm i just bought my 34 to, so i've done a little researched hehe

bodykits can be sourced from fibrevision i think they are called? but if you want to look at what the bodykits are like? goto www.carmate.com - the nismo kit your talking about olivia is the "GTR copy" on carmate, i'm wanting to get that kit to! just from what i hear, fibreglass kits can either come good or dodgy :happy:

another kit i want is the impul kit, looks mean! well the front looks great the sides and back are still good but not as good as the nismo sides hehe

but with paintjobs, that's a difficult one... i've had my boot repaired and a few places resprayed on my car first thing, i did it down in rockingham with:

Barbers Mechanical Services

He was great! did a really good job on my boot, properly welded it back up and everything, found that the previous owner had only masked up the gaping holes from the stock spoiler ;)

plus he used to build fibreglass bodykits and paint back in the UK (showed me some of his work whilst there) great stuff :D

there are a few other places you can try. just do a search in WA thread for ppl looking for bodykits etc :) they usually tell about their experiences to hehe

i can vouch for fibrevision's work. rang the bloke there and got him to make up a 400r front bar for my 33 as it was booked in to replace the existing front bumper. he made the bumper in something like 2 days and it was at my door in 3 days. I live in Kalgoorlie, 600kms from Perth so he's a very convenient guy to go through.

the bumper wasn't rushed and done poorly either. it was solid as. didnt require any modifying by the panel and paint place and when i picked the car up they said this is the only fibreglass bumper they had had no problems fitting. he's pretty good for prices too. may charge more than some places but you know the bumper's etc are brand new and made to a high quality.
