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.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
