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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
