ill say it again, by far the best kit available for a GT/T :D

were they genuine items or fibreglass?

does anyone know how much the genuine plastic IMPUL side skirts for an R34 GTT cost ? I have the carmate ones installed and while the fit is good they've managed to crack them in 2 corners while fitting, leave a couple of gaps etc .. and I'm fretting everytime passengers get in/out of the car just waiting for someone to snag on the passenger sideskirts and crack it good

thats generally the case with copy kits in fibreglass.

actually come to think of it a few months ago someone on SAU was selling what he claimed was a genuine full impul kit and IIRC according to him it also was made from fibreglass (presumbably thicker and more accurate then the copies floating around) Can anyone confirm ?

  • 3 months later...

so guys what's the best deal? or should I say, 'Best Fit' from the copies?

- carmate

- J Racing

- PSI

- DMD

- empire aero

I've also heard that 'original' kits are fibreglass.

here's a link to a carbon fiber one in the US - looks bloody nice :D but $$

I'm keen to buy a full kit or at least a front bar and side skirt.

if you have a 'copy' kit installed, please post any updated comments. fitting?, cracking? or general durability? and where you purchased the kit.

Cheers!!

since you're in brissy go with DMD ..from memory they're up there too and they have a much better rep than carmate. The fittment on my carmate rar bar was perfect ..side skirts were about 90% BUT the paintjob was an absolute shocker...

cheers for the comments! the %% rating for fitting is very helpful

I'm keen to hear from anyone that has had an 34 GTT Impul kit installed / purchased from DMD or sites. more comments?

The original kits are in fibreglass. From what i know it's good quality fb and it's a direct fit compared to copies.

If you want a genuine Impul front bar pm me and i'll hook you up with the seller, assuming he's still got it. I got my side skirts off him last week and it's in a very good condition. Here's the pic after washing 10yrs dirt off the skirts :

For what it's worth, a mate of mine recently got this kit for his White 34 GT. We went with Carmate (Supply, paint & fit) as they were the only people closeby our research could find. Didn't have any issues dealing with them and the end result isn't bad, paint looks fine and the fitment is pretty good, a few minor imperfections at worst but you'd practically have to point them out to notice.

Friend and I were skeptical given the rep, but we took the gamble anyway, for us we're pretty happy with the outcome. Might get pics once the car is cleaned up.

I just bought a Impul kit and is being delivered as we speak, I will post up pix of my black R34 for everyone once its all done.

GTR wing and custom bonnet to match if all comes together.

P.S if you are happy with a job its not good enough, you drive a skyline not a VW would you buy a new car with a OK engine and still pay for a car with a perfect engine?

Neways cheers.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
