R33 Gtst Carbon Fibre Door Sills - Now Ready!


Recommended Posts

Final price is $270 + $25 in freight (two-stage). Payment is required only when I have fully confirmed the existence of the sills (should be within a week)

PSI Parts; I notice that you're a business and have interests in the Skyline body styling department. If you are interested in the product; I will have to talk to the guys these items are coming from to get their OK. Not suggesting you will copy / sell as your own but it's just out of courtesy to them (I maintain that I am the only contact between them and people outside of their immediate clientele).

I now have a full set of 10 people who have confirmed 100%; until further notice (which probably will not happen) no further orders will be accepted.

Unless somebody drops out. Now, all there is left to do is wait for the green light!

cool can you please PM me the ETA on these bad boyz... so i can make sure im funded as soon as they are ready to buy them!

  • 3 weeks later...

Ok; contact confirms that the first sample is finished - he just needs to actually see it and approve it's quality first (I'm not a gambling person).

Should not be long now...

OK people, this is it - the prototype is ready (finally) and here are the latest photos (taken only last night I believe) of the finalized product. As you can see the item is a little bit different to the R34 version I posted in the previous threads, more information on this below.

For all those who have begun to think that this was a failed exercise, I'm sorry for the wait - supplier did take their sweet ass time to get the ball rolling - but it has been worthwhile.

These are not photoshopped images; these are the REAL THING people!!! The world's first R33GTST CF Door Sills :wave::woot::yes: What a way to start the new year...

And now straight from the email I received this morning...

Take a look. That's the world's first CF 33 door sills and it is NOT like the 34 versions with a shiny "wet carbon look". It is like those very expensive "dry carbon look". The original cow skin like pattern is preserved on a malt transparent coating on CF base. Together with the original "Skyline" words, perfect replica.

They told me that's the reason for the long wait. These 33 sills will be manufactured by an expensive new machine, which is capable of making 3-4 pairs of door sills per day. On top of speed, take a closer look at the edges of the sills and you will see the finishing is better than old CF products.

As you can see we've gone to quite a lot of trouble to get these so I hope you all like what you see... otherwise I'm going to have to take a big amount out of my bank and buy whatever is left over from this limited production run.

I have already asked for confirmation that the production run has commenced - once this has been done I will begin taking payments - you have all been PMed about it already.

2007, happy times >_<

No is the answer to that... these guys are not interested in mass marketing; just look at how long it's taken them to do one single product up for me?

Glad you like them... I just got confirmation from them that they are ready to go; so we are ready to rock n roll!

I'll draft up an instructional PM this morning and issue it out to everyone ~

Little update:

Just been told that you can "polish" this dry carbon to turn it into the wet carbon look (i.e. make it all shiny) so I guess it's the best of both worlds >_<

Also, a word from the supplier is that the prices this time round is the discounted rate; a gesture to show how sorry they are for the delay... I've been told to inform you all that the prices in future may/will increase (that's if they make another batch)

Thanks

S

LOL tell me where you live or were you'd like to meet and I'll deliver it >_< I want to see them on a R33 too :happy:

Oh yeah, anyone who is in on these; please do me a favour and get me some photos...

Got some friends in the UK interested!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
