couldn't tell you for sure who could do it for you, the J-Spec one is an original kakimoto fitted in japan by kakimoto.

Ernie from Skyline Imports up in QLD had a modified copy of the kit (they relocated the rear wheel arch) and they fitted it up to a few cars running around in QLD... but last I heard kakimoto contacted them and threatened legal action if they didn't stop installing them. Although that could just be rumour.

2700, not a bad price at all, now when you say all up does that include fitting :blink:? lol i imagine fitting + painting another 2700 so 5400 for a widebody r33 not too bad then add money for wide rims another 4000 hahaha and were getting into personal loan territory, best email dmd soon :) thanks all this kit is so drool worthy cmon tax return 2008!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE ! :D

just make sure that when you have the kit fitted that you actually adjust the castor of the wheels to suit. the kit was designed by kakimoto to slightly elongate the wheelbase in addition to giving it extra track (as this kit was meant for use on race cars, not just for looks). when Skyline Imports modded the kit they retained the factory castor of the wheels, and relocated the wheel arch so that the wheels wouldn't scrub against the kit.

So depending on whose moulds DMD uses to make their copies you may or may not have to adjust the castor.

Also I don't think whoever did the moulds did the carbon wing and the carbon splitter under the front bar. I've never seen a fake with those bits, and as much as it looks huge and out of place, you have to sit inside the car to appreciate the wing, as it specially shaped to disappear into the blind spots of the car so it doesn't impede the driver's vision. Plus if you're gonna go balls out with such an intricate wide kit, you want to make sure you have the entire "signature look" package.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
