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

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.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
