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.

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.

      Rusty roof repair

      Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.

      I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent.

      Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
