I've been looking around for a bodykit for my r34 gtt for a month now and there are very few places I could find in sydney that sell decent kits.

Are there any well known places that specialize in skyline bodykits in the sydney area that don't advertise online?

I've seen most of those before except the last one and most of the r34 gtt bodykits they have on their web site look a bit crappy ... but I don't mind the front bar and sides on this yellow r34 http://www.jetspeed.com.au/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=181

Bit hard to tell how it looks in real life as theres only one crappy quality photo of it there

thanks guys keep em coming.. I don't think I'd go for a fully custom kit due to costs involved. I don't mind having something that's either common or popular as long as it looks good ie. it's not 'uras' ...urrghh can't believe anyone likes that kit.

what do you guys reckon about this white r34??? I like the front rear AND sides on this mofo .. the front is 'CW', sides 'OT' and rear is also 'OT' style ...

The front bar is the only one that's a bit full on ..the sides and rear are very stylish and subtle IMO. What do yous reckon? Oh yeah imagine it all in black :P

So what's the word on carmate anyway? are their kits good quality or flimsy pieces of crap that will break at the first little speed hump?? They also charge $1k to paint and fit whole kit, is that a good price??

Edit; oh yeah forgot the link http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...S&p_id=9948

actually I lied ..that white 34 is completely 'OT' style front bar included ... this is the front bar I'd prefer over the OT one http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...B&p_id=9891 not that much different anyway

just did a bit of research here on carmate and decided against dealing with this mob ... I think there was 1 out of like 20 reviews that was remotely positive.

Anyway, does anyone know what this 'OT Style' bodykit is actually a copy of so I can try and find it from a different supplier?

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
