Found this Japanese company that makes bodykits.

They're called Cross-Factory and make one particular kit for the 4 door R34 that is my personal fave.

Would love to get one, does anyone know about fit and quality of these kits?

Also if I did order them from Japan, do bodykits travel well?

Or will i end up with a box full of cracked bumpers and sideskirts because it got bumped and droped along its journey?

Any one done something like this (bought a kit fom Japan)? Any ideas on the cost of shipping?

Cheers

I guess nice is a matter of opinion...

I dont want my car to have silly wings or over the top bodykits,

Ive always liked the GT-R Z tune's bumper and this one is kinda similar...but fits on a non GT-R.

That way it might give people a hint of what im planning to put under the bonnet. :) ....eventually....when carsh permits :blink: .

Still would really appreciate hearing from someone who has imported a body kit.

Cheers for the responses guys, all opinions are welcome :)

I imported a genuine BN Sports kit for mine, currently at the workshop being fitted up etc.

If your after a GENUINE kit from Japan, then its going to cost you. The cost of the actual kit will be exy + the frieght charge on top as the box it comes in is massive.

If you want something unique that not everyone has then id say go for it, otherwise to be honest its not really worth the money. Just make sure you get the a copy of the kit your after from someone reputable like Peter at Bodyform.

I went for the BN kit for a number of reason:

-At the time of purchase there were no copies available. Only copies around were Cwest, Bomex and URAS (similar to BN but not quite) oh and the odd Top Secret and Impul front bars going around.

- I had a soft spot for the URAS kit cause of Nomukens D1 car but there were already a few people with this kit and the 2 door version doesnt look all that good and I instantly fell in love when I saw the BN kit haha

Thanks for that Shonen,

Good to hear that it has been done.

I do want my car to be individal, but those cheaper kits do have their appeal.

Must admit, I do like the BN kit aswell.

This is gonna take some serious thinking...

When I make my discision, get the car and get a bodykit ill post lots of pics either way.

Contact a company .. obviously most aus based companys import in large containers for japan .. you may have to wait awhile but you might end up paying less .. you could slide them $100 -$200 under the table to import it if you pay the costs up front .. that way they come out ontop .. if they f**k it ur rooted tho ..

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
