Yes i feel your pain went through the same process myself

Here are my tips

Look at every possible r33 bodykit on cars, and figure out what you like. Nothing worse then going and getting something installed and then a week later see another r33 with a better looking kit you never saw.

Now another big thing when you know what kit you want, you want to be sure that it will fit and is good quality. Good quality is thin and bendy. Thick ones are crap and just crack or break when moved.

To be sure the kit will fit you should find a body kit shop, i really recommend FIBRE VISION. The may already have a mould for that kit. That will ensure it fits and is good quality, cost less and save time as you wont have to get one shipped or transported (they always break murphys law)

I had my mine installed at fibrevision, very reccommended Bruce is good. Be careful though talk to bruce about the kit work and the painter about the paint work. They work seperately but on the same car if you know what i mean.

If however they dont have the kit you want i would suggest DMD THE IMAGE they have a good range, good price and good quality. Just make sure you specify which series r33 you have and then repeat that as many times until they fully understand.

Talk to a body kit shop on the processes, they always encounter people who buy a kit to have fitted and it wont fit. So be most careful of this to save wasting money and time.

Hope that helps

If you want some ideas on kits let me know

I would have to disagree that "thin and bendy" makes a good bar. A thicker bar allows the bar to be secured firmly to the car and the less flexing the better. I believe there is a misconception between flimsy and shock absorbing. A thin bar in my opinion shows poor quality in the manufacturing process along with cost cutting for greater profit margins.

source the parts seccond hand (forums, ebay etc). it will take time but you will save lots of money, then get them all painted and fitted at the same time by someone like Cowley Smash Repairs or another body work garage.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
