this is an old pic...now has limo tint and full exhaust.....but ya get the point... :D

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.

yeh the veilside kits look so weird and chat i got JUN its nice n simple i like the kakimoto kit looks good i wish i got that kit i just saw it the other day wish got that kit instead go and have look at it, its really nice

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

cheers for the help everyone............

this is what i was thinking.....everykit i had a look at i liked either the fronts, backs, or skirts, rarely the entire kit....so...

what bout DO LUCK front bumper, JUN skirts and VEILSIDE rear?

anyone got 18's on there car, and have noticed speed decrease?

sorry with the questions everyone....just makin sure i make the right decisions

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
