stan id b up for a set the bolt directly to the car n not the plastic kick panel and scratches easily. metal is really easy to polish up so i felt this way would b a little better. but thats just my opinion

HI2U: We're looking at 1-2 weeks for the prototype (R34GTT 2 door) then that one is ready to roll out.

For all other models, it all depends on how soon I get confirmation of sizes and how soon I get stuff measured up and drawn. R34GTT panel took 8 hours to draw up, pleae be a little patient.

Primordial: Thanks!

Tangles: Thanks to you too!

KamikazeR33: We could offer you a direct replacement item... it will consist of a brand new kickplate + our panels installed and sent out to you. Of course, this new plate will be from Nissan which will up the cost etc. etc.

Reason why we've gone for the "plate only option" is so members are not going to have to pay heaps to dress up their stock plates. If you are concerned about your existing plates or the installation, we can do both for you (at a premium)

Overall, these units were designed with the client in mind... most people will appreciate that this is going to be kept at the lowest cost possible, but still generate the highest effect!

However, I do appreciate ALL feedback on the designs good and bad... so keep em coming!

:P I'll definitely buy a pair for my 33 if you develop them, my kickplates are all scuffed & dirty.

In my wildest of dreams I'd get some custom made metal kickplates with the "skyline" embossing lighting up when you open the door, like in some mercs. A man can dream :laugh:

Your dream could become a reality but seriously it's not really worth your time and money.

The way to do it would be to get the SKYLINE bit cut out instead of etched, then applying a clear polycarbonate film on the surface. Underneath this panel you'd put in lights of whatever colour, shape or form.

Just thinking about it is making me twitch... the cost would be too great to justify a once-off custom fabrication :P

yep, as I said "in my wildest of dreams"

I could never justify the time & money spent on such a project.

Are you still considering a carbon fibre version? I read some mention of it in thread before this one.

Carbon Fibre version still an option yes...

Anthony, when do you need the 32 plates by? Let me know and I'll get that happening ASAP - still need some plates to measure up dammit!

hey stan, sorry if i confused u i just re read my post n wondered if i really did post that

i meant not to use the plastic panel at all but use a full metal kickplate instead with the design on it? this option may be useful as im going to assume if its just goin to be a rectangular plate it could b a multifit item

Can anyone confirm that the GTR kickplates are identical to the GTST kickplates across all three models?

If this is the case it will save me a lot of time :O

Pretty please somebody?

R34's are. I can tell you that much

Thanks guys...

Kamikazee: The cost involved will not be worth my time or the clients'. Also, having a metal kickplate will not be good as metal does dent - purely keeping it to the small replacement plates will mean that it's more manageable.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
