R34 factory bodykits?

[Shell]

hi everyone,

I've got a question or two or three about the R34 kits..

I was checking out some cars and noticed the 2 different front ends on the R34's...both factory.

The first pic is the common one that most seem to have, and then the 2nd and 3rd pics is this other one, which I really like the styling of.

Does anyone know more details, like, was it definately a factory option thing, and did it have a name, and was there any others? I've noticed that there are some side skirts and a more aggressive rear too, so i guess you could pick them to go along with it if you wanted?

The bottom ones are known as Nissan Aero or Nissan Sports. That's what I have.

I've seen them referred to as a Nismo kit but I don't think that's right. I know that whenever that is said it seems to come with the big ugly wang that bolts into the rear quarters. YOU DON'T WANT THAT ONE!

There is a slight variation I've seen a couple of times where that black bit in the middle down the bottom (where it says Skyline) is the same colour as the rest of the car and the vents on the side of the front bar are different but those vents look much worse I think.

Abo is spot on.

The top one is Standard (Series 1) and the bottom two are Nissan Sports.

It's also what I have.

I have the standard rear bar, and Nissan Sports front bar, Adz has the Nissan Sports rear bar and skirts too.

thanks guys, that's exactly what i wanted to know

adam, i know the nismo kit with the wing...and you're right I DEFINATELY DON'T WANT THAT ONE!! worst wing ever..

That black bit at the front with Skyline written on it, what's it made of?? It looks like rubber..

My 34 Has the sides and rear bar to go with that front but for some reason I managed to get a standard bar with a lip. I'm still looking around for one of those bars in the pics above.

It's black plastic.

It's the best theing to put tyre shine on!!

The whole front bar is made of black plastic (most cars are these days) and that middle bit is just not painted is all.

You could paint it if you wanted and I think I've seen a few that are but I don't know if that is factory paint or not. I could have had mine done recently when I had the respray but I just left it the way it was. There are plenty of other black bits on the car for it to go with no matter what the actual colour of the car is.

I'm not a fan of the rear bar though, with that big wedge that say skyline on it!

[m-p]

I hate the wing. When I bought my car, I asked the seller to replace the wing to the standard one :argue:. So now I have this Nissan Sports/Aero front bar, rear bar (my car is black so the 'SKYLINE' letters, which have the same colour, are not in contrast), and skirts, but with the standard R34 GT-T wing, and for me it is much better and looks cool , even I don't like bodykits very much.

Mine is like the first pic, personally I prefer it over the other sort, looks more aggresive. I also prefer having the chrome Skyline badging, rather then the indented wording. Although I do prefer the indicators inside the inner hotplates style of rear end, but ah well

[Abo Bob]

Check this one out.

Hey Adam. That is a series 2 look, just like mine except mine is grey. True, it is not as aggressive looking, but I like the sleeper look.

 

Check this one out.

I believe the kit with the big wing bolted to the quarters is called the Altia kit and is made by a company other than Nissan, but was offered as an option from the factory. Correct me if i'm wrong.

[Abo Bob]

Here is something like yours.

[SS8_Gohan]

yep, Altia kit.... and unfortunaltey my car had/has the ugly wang... i've semi-dismantled it (removed side bits) but left some nasty holes which are going to cost $ to fix....

piccies..

http://users.bigpond.net.au/chinny/pict0560.jpg - i think pic rang from 541 - 562 if you wanna change the link, and see the rest of the pics. Got pics of the car straight from the back, one with side bits and one without.

[Firefrog]

I must be an absolute freak, I love that wing

[Girigiri]

Damn I think the altia wings look fantastic...

[Myth33]

Hmmm..... So what is the kit called that is just the lip attachment around the 34 with the wing? Is it just called a sports kit ? Is it a nismo option? I'm confident that it was a factory option of some sort, not aftermarket.

[Firefrog]

Yeah that lip kit is factory from what I've seen, I think its the Nismo one, not 100% sure tho

It's just the Nissan lip on the standard front bar, but theres also an aftermarkey copy around from www.topmix.hk I think
