I have been looking at bodykits for the new R32 and came across a website called Phat Kits

I would like to do a R32/4 conversion, and have been looking at the BeeR kits but didnt like the price so much. I then stumbled across Phat Kits.

http://www.phatkits.com.au/Product.aspx?pid=9

Does anyone know anything about them? How they fit up? Etc.... ??

If you do, I would love to hear from you. I know you get what you pay for, but I have my rose tinted glasses on and am hoping that they might be all right.... :D

I dont know ecactly about this kit in particlar but what I have seen is usually people who are going for the 32 34 conversion it never fits exactly theres alot of customisation work and the time put into this will determine the end product. Since it is not just a kit made to put on your car it is more custom so you really gotta work your ass of to make it look good , cause they can either end up really well or really bad, there a thread in the i think fabrication thread about some guy doing it to hes r32

there the link have a look at it to see the work hes gone through, but yeah my opinion unless your really good at bodywork and custom stuff or are gona take it somewhere reptuable where your prepared to pay its not worth it

Yeah I am agreeing with you.... Ive been doing some research and Im not seeing alot that have come up perfectly without a lot of fiddling and modifying.

I am going for the GTR front bar. I want to also get a nice rear bar and skirts to replace the pods and the crappy side skirts that are on there.

Havent seen anything I really like as yet - Veilside have a nice rear, havent found skirts that I want as yet and am still looking for a good quality GTR bar also

    • So it should work in my case?  I does not say R34 but it say push(i have push gearbox/clutch right now) No i wont...and i do not drift/race or do anything crazy with car so even a small box should be ok for a couple of months
    • Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.
    • Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...
    • Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!
    • I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.
