I have been told that it might be the GTR front bar (not original of course) along with the 400R sides and rear but i just wanted to double check before i start calling and emailing around. any info would be great, and if there is a forum sponser that does these kits that would be great too!

Many thanks, look forward to cruising with youse real soon.

:laugh:

cheers guys. the rims look good but i already have another design in mind. im assuming this bodykit then is the same? yeh i found that car on carsales, looks really good but the kms are a lil high :thanks:

Baby Blue Skyline 01

Baby Blue Skyline 02

im just a lil confused cause the sides look different and the frontbar doesn't have those nostrals on the front of the kit. sorry to be a pain, if theres a suzuki question ill answer it no problems, im just new to nissan.

Hey Nic.....front bar on the blue one would be a copy (?) of an early R33 GTR front bar....the N1 vents were only added on the series 2 (I think) and definitly the series 3 GTR.

Side skirts are diff....the 400r ones have the little vents in them on the rear 1/4 section.

Hope that helps

sorry to sound like a bit of a n00b but would the blue skyline kit be available cause im seeing alot of you guys have similar kits but with those nostrals and urs also seem alot lower to the ground than this blue kit? also is that skyline a Series 2 skyline and would that kit only fit a Series 2? any info would be tops!

is that skyline a Series 2 skyline and would that kit only fit a Series 2? any info would be tops!

Pretty sure that blue skyline is a series 1. The bonnet on a s2 has much sharper ridges, also the headlights on a s2 are slightly thinner & sharper than a s1.

Can't say that I'm a fan of that bodykit on the blue skyline though. 400r skirts look much more tidy.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
