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.

DMD stocks them. I believe when i last enquired $2700 all up i think

[DaGr81]

2700, not a bad price at all, now when you say all up does that include fitting ? 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 !

Yeah, not a bad price, considering a full respray would be similiar.

Looks trick...

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.

we'll find out when i get a reply from dmd, dont mind if i dont have the splitter but the wing is a must if not a huge carbon gt wing would have to do the height of the roof? maybe hahaha :S
