Ok.. So I Saved Some Money And Want To Buy A Bodykit..


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I've been working a fair bit and saved some money for a bodykit (for my s1 33), i was thinking top secret or 400r or something similar..

But my question is where the hell in vic can i get them from (around SE suburbs) All i know of is driftline but their site is pretty useless and doesnt list any skyline bodykits or anything, and also where abouts you guys would recommend fitting and spraying? What are micolour like? price wise and quality wise?

I want it to look good, but doesnt have to be a really expensive (zomg showroom condition) i want a reasonable price for fitment and spray.

Can you guys suggest some places? I know theres a sticky but its fairly outdated

Oh and also what do you guys think of the top secret kit on a 33?

thanks, leigh.

well if u interested i have a trial rear bar for the 33 if u want. wanna get rid of it. fibreglass. only want $120 for it. cost me almost double that when i got it. unpainted at the moment, still bare fibreglass with gel coat.

pm me if u interested

I've used Imperial Finish Body Works on centre road in Springvale before for a repaint of some parts. Also my mate has on his 32 GTR. Both were top notch jobs. However both were insurance jobs so unsure of pricing. Give Murray a call, good bloke.

to fit and paint, i've already bought the kit just awaiting the courier.

top secret kit ftw!

keep us informed on how the job goes.. would like to see the kit up and running

yeah that seems like a good price, DT do some good work. Im goin there to get my kit and some panel stuff fixed up.

DT do some great work at very reasonable prices, I had my side skirt repaired (was cracked) and re-sprayed. Since they made a hairline crack in it when putting it back on they took it off and fixed the tiny crack :)

Excellent service and good quality work.

got my car back from DT, i wouldnt call there work the best but pretty much for the price i think it is good. One major problem is the wing rubs against my rear window seals.. :) so yeh going to try and fix it up myself, heres a couple of pics. (sorry bout quality phone pics)

Tell me what ya think

keep in mind its a n/a, a rare occasion indeed hehe. Will be going turbo in about a year.

btw whats the legal ride height? some are like 10cm.. which will fit some are like a can of coke.. which wont i dont think lol

Looks pretty decent

100mm is legal, so that nothing like the diff or exhaust hits something that's 100mm high.

N/A hey? Need 5 stud and big brakes? :P

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
