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

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

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

ok who wants to put their hand up to make these?? :P 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??

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 :P

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
