Hey everyone, i'm thinking of buying a body kit for my s2 r33 gtst but can't decide which one. I kinda like the veilside bodykit are there any others around? if you were to buy a body kit which look will you go for?

I'm after something that will make the car look tuff..so to speak

Cheers

Veilside is nice, you just have to pick the right one and have a nice set of wheels.

But seriously tho, if you get a Veilside kit, you car has to modded pretty tuff to live up to its perfomance name, other wise its just rice IMO.

Nismo Factory bodykit can top off the car nicely.

Or get the Nismo Front lip for S2 GTS-T and R33 GTR side-skirts.

I think we (I'll do it one day, I promise) need to create a thread with all the different types of kits that are available for the 33 for people to reference instead of a whole heap of threads about what kit is the best, as obviously it's personal taste.

i've got a veilside kit, i used to like it, now i really don't like it, especially the front bar. probably going to change the front bar to do-luck when i get some cash.

but seriously, get what you think looks good, everyone has different taste

I've had some serious dramas with bodykits! Wasted so much money in the process, started with a 'Suborn' bar back in the day when i first got my car - stupid choice that was! Poorly made and cracked and wonky and looked shite, then went to the Veilside put on by Jetspeed - another stupid choice! The bar was so poorly made and didn't match up at all. Not only did it look bad, the quality was shocking and left and right weren't even the same dimensions :-p I used to like the look of the veilside but as said above you need a tuff car to pull it off.

So after a few years, I finally came to the greatest decision i've ever made!.....COMPLETE CUSTOM KIT! It's the only way, i recommend it to everybody if you have the time and cash and design ideas. You gotta know what you want and take it to someone that can make it work. Freddy from Topstage did my whole thing www.topstage.com.au

the best is the factory kit imho

your car will never look as good as the product promo photos you are looking at in japan

you wont be prepared to pay for the $$$ so youll just get cheap copies which wont line up, have gaps etc

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
