Would anyone be able to tell me if these body kits are a direct fit onto a 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 25GT Coupe? The reason I ask is, is because I'm looking at getting a body kit for my Skyline some time in the not too distant future, and I've heard people saying some body kits require additional work to make them fit and such. Cheers.

genuine bodykits are going to be the best fit.. but you are talking 7k + for a kit..

most fiberglass kits will require some modification to fit but depending on who you buy or how much you pay.. it all comes down to quality.. paying that little extra can make it so much nicer.. i got my front bar & qtr panels from DMD.. they required little modification at all

If you're worried about the parts not fitting, how about going to a shop which will be getting the parts in as well for you?

They won't really charge you more if the parts dont fit, you just pay a fixed amount for the parts and fitting/spraying

and that silver front bumper looks amazing :)

ive got impul sides and rear :) I think they would go well together in my mind just visualising it. im not much of a fan of the impul front bumper.

i'll probably be going with a top secret or something style bar for my front if i ever change it as well

impul goes well with alot, its a nice simple style so it suits alot of diffferent bumpers imo, but id go for something more "boxy" and square like a top secret bumper, rather than something like the altia/aero kit

dori what body kit did you have? I remember seeing ur car in alot of pics while i was lookin for which body kit i wanted and it looked heaps good but i cant remember what it was ... just remember u had a nice one :)

*edit* - the silver one i think is a top secret bumper with a uras bonnet lip - worship.gif

and the blue one is just super sexy but i dont think its an actual car? not too sure

@Jonno - The blue one looks pretty fake.

At the current point in time I don't even know what kit I'd go for, let alone what car..

I'm still on my P plates (green phase (will be off next january though)..

I've only really been looking at skylines and/or the s-chassis cars (Silvias and such)

Reeaaaaaaaaaaaally considering an R34 GT-R conversion on my 25GT, with some 18' R34 GT-R Wheels. I just love the GT-R look, only way to go!

2 x R34 GT-R Front Guards

2 x R34 GT-R Rear Guards

2 x R34 GT-R Side Skirts

1 x R34 GT-R Front Bar

1 x R34 GT-R Rear Bar

1 x R34 GT-R Bonnet

1 x R34 GT-R Nose (the part between the front bar and the bonnet)

Got in contact with a guy who is in the process of getting me a quote for all the genuine parts. Still kind of researching the conversion. Buying the parts, getting the parts painted to match my current factory KV2, getting the parts fitted and having the rear guards welded on since they're not a perfect fit, and then buying a set of R34 GT-R Wheels in good nick... it all equates to $$$!

Will let you guys know if I'll even bother with it, depending on costs and such.

Please, please, please don't.

Don't make it something it isn't, especially on a N/A R34 making less than 100kw.

I've got a genuine GTR bonnet and genuine East Bear bonnet lip for sale, click on my signature if you are interested :)

Guys i thought this was a thread for bodykit reference, not a discussion about kits you want/have etc...

On another note

I came across this thread, albeit a little old, might be a point of contact for anyone wanting a JGTC widebody kit

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
