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.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
