Hey guys,

Im in the process of choosing a body kit i have chosen two and shown it to a couple of people and some are saying

"yeah sexy" other "no way"

i just need some outsider views to what i should do

Most people (me included) aren't fans of the veilside kit, so don't expect too many nice replies :D

Ive been told to get a GTR kti but not being a GTR might look to try hardish lol :ban: . Ive been looking for kits everywhere but stil cant seem to find one that really takes my fancy ar there any sites you could show me with a variety on it??

Best thing for R33's and skylines in general is to keep it simple as far as body mods, A lot of aftermarket kits ruin the factory lines by being too chunky or have way too much overhang (ala veilside's creases and folds), R34's especially look horrid with most aftermarket kits (I do like the top secret one though)

As much as people will bag the 400r front bar for being too common, it's that way for a reason, prolly the best looking bar getting around aside from a gtr style bar.

When I had my R33 I had 400r sideskirts and a cutom rear lip on the bumper to match. I was going to put on a gtr style bumoer but ended up selling it and getting my R34

This is a pic of a genuine 400r, there are many fibreglass copies available. Similar styling to this would be my pick, aggressive but understated, not over the top like veilside

I personally hate the veilside kit... looks like a Darth Vader on steroids... ugly and just doesn't flow with the R33's lines (like another member said above)... GTR kit is fine as long as with no badge... the TRUST or TOP SECRET front bar is fine.

how the hell is 400r understated? serious question

Agreed. However, the 400R 's front bar looks too crowded... too much vents and stuff, i.e. I hate that vent thing on the side... personally, the GTR kit is king of the pack. Simple but tough.

i personally disliked 400r kits before i had a r33.

but i find the 400r kit looks alot better in person then it does in picture!!

the car i ended purchasing had a 400r front bar and i fell in love when i saw it ><

Thanks

So where would i be able to find a 400r kit from? Are there any sites which u could recomend.

what kit do you have on your car at the moment?

i personally thing the stock type m front bar and the gtr bars look the best

i have a 400r front bar which is good as well

oh and i have excreted feces that look better than the veilside kits

I havnt got any kit on my car at the moment just stock 33, thats why i wanna try make the right choice. I have looked at a fair few kits but nothing is really taking my eye.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
