[n15m0]

Has anyone seen any available for the R34? I know the 350z and V35 have them as an aftermarket ad on, been trying to source some for the R34...anyone??

They look very nice i'd like some too as mine are just standard black ones.

The 200SX and GTR's R34 have nice ones with the metalic in them as well.

I've been looking for some for my R33 for AGES.. There doesnt seem to be any places that sell them

If you do come across somewhere that sells them, start a group buy! Im sure there would be HEAPS of people interested in these.

yeah i wouldnt mind getting some of these. the skyline interior definately needs some aluminium to make it look a bit more sporty.

[Konrad]

why not approach someone to custom make some?? The design looks quite simple... i'd be in on above mentioned group buy

[mad34]

me too id be in on a group buy i have been looking for some for ages.

[Primordial]

Hmm well this is interesting. I wonder if anyone knows anyone that could custom make these kickplates. I'm sure if we got 10-20 orders or so someone would be willing to do a custom job.

I know they produce some for R33....I've seen ppl selling 2nd hand in the forum, but I'm not sure where they get them...

yeah I;ve been looking for those plates for R34 as well...have you seen the ones in Mercs? the writing actually glows..looks damn nice

Can't see them mentioned anywhere in the 2004 Nismo Catalogue but you can bet if the 34 GTR's have them then you can order them as a spare to fit the GTT.

I've searched high and low for months for some for my R33.

I cant find them anywhere.

The only thing I can find is the G35 INFINITI ones that say "Skyline".

[sewid]

The R34 GTR ones wont be much good to you as they say GTR and not SKYLINE.

[n15m0]

ok who wants to put their hand up to make these?? Looks like we could get a group buy happening??? Ppl are making personalised nissan badges and so forth, making these kick plates would be a piece of cake for someone who knows their way round metal fabrication...even key cutting places that do engraving might be able to do them if we supply the correct plate??

[satanic]

Interesting indeed...

[heslo]

Can someone fill me in as to what kickplates actually are?

[n15m0]

its the piece of personalised metal than goes here....

adds bout 10hp to your ride

[Primordial]

Haha.. and the chrome ones have been proven to raise mojo by more than 60%

[heslo]

Sweet, I thought that's what they were, just checking. DEFINATELY would love some for my 33

[SKY 34]

n1shm0 that your ferrari?

lol..yes a kickplate makes your car a ferrari~~

[satanic]

Little update... n15m0 has come to me with this kickplate proposal and we are looking at getting it done. I've talked to my suppliers and staff and we think it's doable without too much complication.

2 Options:

1) Re-use existing kickplate and mount custom plate on top

2) Replace exisint kickplate with a full plastic/metal integrated plate

Either way we will need the R32, R33 and R34 kickplates for dimensions and moulds in order to make this a reality. I already have access to all three so that's not an issue.

Will keep you all posted.

EDIT: We are looking at the laser etching process to get the designs onto the metal - basically you can have anything you want from Letters to Pictures.

I think a complete replacement option would be the way to go, providing the cost isnt too crazy.

You could also sell them on Ebay or sell them to online car stores, and make some profit if they are replacement items too.

Overall I'd prefer replacement items, but if the cost is more than 50% more than using existing items, it's probably not worth it.

Just my 2c
