Had this kit fitted at fibrevision a couple of months ago. Was pretty happy minus a few hurdles. I originally had some jun sideskirts purchased off ebay (stupid idea) they sucked and would not fit so i had to go with 400r, there good but i still would have much preferred the jun. I asked Bruce if he would paint the calipers only red, so when i checked up on it his employee had painted the calipers plus hubs. I was pissed at the time but i think i like how it looks now.The rear pods started coming off a few days after i got the car back. Bruce had a look and could see that it wasn't sanded properly in a few spots by his employee and the glue might have been the wrong stuff used. It was fixed and is now good. As you can see a few big scratches on the car I can thank some Biatch i hardly know for that. No proof means i can do shit all about that. Cost me about 450 to get that resprayed etc

What do you think?

Love the rear pods they look great just get rid of that sII wing for something else. With the skirts did you even consider going do-luck with them as well? Looks nice.

No way i love the series 2 wing really goes with the rear pods shape. But thats just my opinion i made the car look the way i wanted it to besides the jun sides. Cheers

Well i had a pair of juns but they were from ebay and were shit quality so he had already started on the car when he told me the side skirts would not work, so i had to go with what he had. If i can find some jun sides that are a decent fit and quality then i'll get them or maybe the do lucks. But thats just more money and time.

Well i can't deny it any longer, i am going to get the do luck side skirts, i had considered this originally but i got the juns instead which were crap quality. So i have to hit myself for trying a third time. I guess i can sell the 400r skirts

Are they JUN pods? They don't look like them? Hmm. Yes I think you need to get body parts that all line up properly. Apart from that the front bar is sweet as! :P

Hi, clean looking car you have there, just wondering if you have any hassles with police having your number plate where it is, I know in Sydney even if a plate even hints at being relocated on an import it screams 'pull me over,' then again just being an import does that anyway lol

with that front bar the new sideskirts would match better than the 400r, and I think that the stealth wing would set the car off as the standard spoiler now seems out of place on the car.

I saw on here awhile ago somebody found a stealth wing that still retained the brake stop light, I wish I had one of those when I had my R33!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
