im yet to find someone who's designed and built their own custom kit for the 33 (i mean apart from myself...)

anyone?

i wasn't happy with the other 4 front bars i tried, so this was my final straw

You have a Veilside kit, nuff said :D

there is no comeback on earth for this.....

Whatever champs, thats you opinion, garantee my car looks better than both of your cars

no... no it doesn't...

ok ,have fun takin the piss

:P i don't like to rag on members cars.... but you ASKED for it.... that shit is f**king heinous

honestly veilside should have been named failside..

yes... yes it should have...

as long as your happy with it thats what counts..

al you crack me up!

as for this thread...top secret but as stated to many around i'd try for something different

veilside for the FAIL!! only kit they produced decent was mazda rx7 fortune kit...

shanus: was going to do custom front bar similar to yours with the evo x sort of centre piece...may come later if i get around to the super gt bodykit :sick:

back on topic, I'd take the Top Secret over the one on Car Mate one, and I'd take ANYTHING over the failside kit.

that said, I'm a huge fan of the Diana kit for the R33 GTS by Insurance. Its clean and straight, none of this skirt like stuff from Vertex, BN, URAS and the billion other knockoffs.

you need balls to pull it off though, as the kit is intended to sit a few mm off the ground.

that kit looks like a rip off of vertex/bn combined front bar is basically vertex with a larger cooler hole, side skirts look shit becuase they curve up and the rear bar is basically a BN rear bar, probaly without the spoiler wouldnt look so bad..

anyway cheers for the feedback i kinda like how my car looks to. and you if its not a few mm off the ground it will look shit no matter what kit it is. nobody wants fender gap

that kit looks like a rip off of vertex/bn combined front bar is basically vertex with a larger cooler hole, side skirts look shit becuase they curve up and the rear bar is basically a BN rear bar, probaly without the spoiler wouldnt look so bad..

came out before vertex etc, so if anything they'd have gotten inspiration from it. No one except VIP style modders rock Insurance kits, so I doubt anyone in oz would have it unless it came with their car.

As for thread top secret ftw (i also have a full top secret kit)

as for vertex/bn style kits i cant stand the front / rear of them.. i'm not sure why but dare i say it.. veilside rear bar looks better then the fugly square things that stick out a mile in real life.. imo

in saying that though id still prefer the vertex style over the veilside front and sides (i actually really like the side skirts of the vertex style)

    • Man that dinner was such a long time ago....2010! I would only replace the rubber coolant lines with silicone these days; cheap, readily available and will last for ever. You will need new hose clamps though eg https://justjap.com/products/cooling-pro-silicone-engine-heater-hose-set-black-nissan-r32-gtr-rb26dett
    • I wouldn't look too hard at what they did with the R32 GTR in endurance racing in Australia... Lots of things weren't actually available from the factory in the way those cars ran them... Japan also followed what Fred Gibson was doing here with some of there endurance cars in Japan... Australia is also the reason for things like the Brembo brakes, and the change in the gearbox... And quite a few other tricks they used to pull. There's a few other SAU peeps still on these forums that will have heard the stories direct from Alan Heaphy, Fred Gibson, and Jim Richards when we were lucky enough to have a great dinner with them
    • For all the talk of "these parts are junk" I generally recommend OEM because it's really not as bad as claimed. I have never seen or heard of a case like the N63 where the oil returns completely clog with coked oil for example in ~10 years or less. Would it be nice if it were a straighter path? I guess, but most modern cars use a scavenge pump instead of a pure gravity return. Also the factory lines that would be relatively simple to convert to braided are generally speaking hardlines from the factory. I would consider braided line to be a regression, not an improvement. It's also been engineered such that all the hardlines have appropriate strain relief where needed. There's absolutely room for improvement, for example the HKS advantage heritage intake piping shows just how much can be done to make the turbos fight each other less in OEM twin turbo configuration and reduce compressor surge but it's rarely a simple/straightforward process. I recommend looking at what the group A/N1 cars did, generally speaking the changes they made were necessary and proven in endurance racing.
    • Yes, multi relays needed, and possibly a diode. I'm not actually going to think about it though.
