I'm looking to buy a bodykit for my R33 GTS-T in as soon as I get my car back from the workshop, I've been thinking to go for the Veilside Bodykit just wanted people's opinion on them, and if so, what other bodykits you would suggest?

I've just been looking around at local bodykit shops in Brisbane, I get mixed opinion on most bodykits.

I was on the lines of getting a Veilside kit, but I was unsure thats why I posted this.

Mmm..choices, choices ..lol

The veilside front bar looks terrible I reckon, the rest isn't bad.

If you want a nice kit, go the trial one.

Anyone know what sorta rims they are in the veilside pic?

Probably Veilside rims. Which sort I don't know though

Yeah I think the veilside bodykit doesnt suit the skyline at all... well for my taste that is. They suit more sleeker body cars such as the supra. On a skyline they look more over the top.

I have a question, the 400R bodykit is exactly the same as the Nismo GTR Vspec bodykit... why dont they just call it Nismo bodykit?

Or is there with Nismo who copy their bodykits?

I think someones confused you mate...

The 'Nismo GTR Vspec' kit or whatever you called it *is* the 400R kit. The trouble with all the low-quality fiberglass copies being made by companies in Australia is that they all have their own pet names for the kit they produce, even if one kit is a copy of another kit that was copied off the original 400R kit...

After having a think about it, and having a look at a few photos, I won't be going the Veilside option.

Just hard to pick what one to get - lol looking around at photos on DMD and JetSpeed (Brisbane stores) if anyone has any links to bodykit shops that'd be great :thumbsup: Thanks!

Ahh! Thats the kit I saw last night I wonderd what sideskirts they were, thanks for that MintR33. I'll keep this one in mind too, have to look around Brisbane see what kits I can get done here.

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
