stay away from veilside kits, they look shit. Matter of opinion, obviously, but I'm not alone in my thinking. My two favourite kits are the Trust (or Gracer), altho i can only find the front bumper, and the JUN kit. both are nice if you want to do a google search for them. And being a 4-stud wheel, it mite be a bit harder to find rims. Finding a deep dish rim is almost impossible. But if u have any luck, let me know. I want some rims for my NA as well.

cheers for the feedback and opinions..... the only reason i was lookin at veilsides is coz they are a round bodykit.......ya see sum skylines and they have these big bumpers that make the car the look square.....im preferably after a bodykit that will keep the same shape as the car...maybe like a JUN kit?

rims are hard to come by also coz the 4stud pattern....anyone know of any cheap places in adelaide to get good mags?

getting mags in 4 stud wont be a problem but dished rims is another story..

personally if i were you, i'd be getting the suspension done so it sits nice and low then look at some stereo bits.

you will gain a lot more from the suspension than the rims.

just my opinion..

yeh i was lookin into suspension mods, but having it too low would ruin any kit i put on it ( sloped driveway + low cars = scratches)

got a full sound system...amp, subs, 6x9's, 6's, mp3 player....gives headaches...haha...

as for rims, most suit skylines, could either match car colour or get chromies......???

veilside kits should be banned on the account of they are the most ugliest thing i have ever seen on a skyline.

a nice kit on your car that will suite its paintjob would be the do-luck

i know this might sound stupid, but i honestly dont mind the veilsides.....them, JUN's and DO LUCKS are my favs.

its just a matter of seeing em on skylines with the same colour as mine....all my mates have white ones............

Best to spend a couple hours searchin the net and see whats out there, you can find a pic of anything if you spend the time to look. The only opinion that matters is yours, the kit you get has to be in you own taste. It's a tough decision though i know!!! Find a few pics of you favs and chop them into one pic and make it your desktop background for a while and see which one grows on you the most.

I'd give mad respect if you got it despite everyone disapproval of it lol. Anyway have you checked out pics of other member rides on SAU for you to get some inspiration?

dude, get the kit that appeals to you most, at the end of the day you drive the car, and im sure you want to be happy with how it looks, i don't hate the veilside kit myself, the front is a little off but the main thing is that you feel its money well spent,

and i mean if u buy somethin that u like but no1 else does, then more power to you, no matter what you do there will be some1 who doesnt like it.

good luck wit ur selection :D

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
