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

hey mate can you link me the website plz?

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 ..

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
