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

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
