Hey I was just wondering if anyone could help me locate a Nissan Skyline R34 GTT Nismo/Aero Factory Bodykit...

I have searched the net all night and found nothing. I'm just after a website or a shop that sells them or imports them.

If your after a brand new original Nismo kit, better brace yourself. Your better off looking on Yahoo Japan for a used kit. www.importmonster.com.au or MrZac on the forum.

I believe FBR copy can be obtained from DMD the image in Qld

On this topic - are genuine Nismo kits plastic (like OEM bars) or fibreglass?

When I purchased my R34 GTR it had a Nismo kit fitted (as per pictures taken when the car was still in Japan), the seller assured me (he sells bodykits) that it was a genuine Nismo kit and that they are fibreglass.

I'm asking as I'm looking to get it resprayed but would rather a genuine one if they are of different composition.

The GTT kit many people here seem to refer to as the 'Nismo' is actually not Nismo at all - it's the Nissan optional Aero kit, sometimes referred to as Altia I believe. It's the one with the front bar that has the black-plastic middle bit with 'SKYLINE' written on it and the rear bar has the slanted middle section.

The Nismo rear bar looks like this: http://carmate.com/product_details.php?pro...&p_id=10208 and it's very rare (which is why I just got one! ;D)

Are you saying you bought the rear end on the basis that it's rare.. there are alot of rare items and i can tell you why they are mostly rare.. LOL

and correct me if i'm wrong but you bought that FPR from car mate yes.. which isnt rare.. they just keep molding new ones.. not like an optional kit from nissan that wasnt really chosen so there aint many out there and nissan charge through the roof to purchase a GENUINE one

the 'Nismo' rear bar is "rare" because I've only seen 2 so far ... and I don't think it's rare because it's shit. And no I didn't get it just because it's rare but because I like the look. I'm probably going to take my wing off and this rar bar gives it a nice chunky bum which IMO would look good without a wing.

As for the Nissan optional Aero - it's on approx. 50% of the 34's coming from Japn which is why it's common. Nothing wrong with this kit, just thought I'd clear up the whole naming thing because it can be confusing for people looking for a kit.

What's your point mate? I like the kit whether it's rare or not, it just happens to be rare. Why do I think it's rare ? Because I've been looking for a kit since I got my 34 approx. 8 months ago and came accross one member's piccies just a few days ago - first time I saw one and I thought I'd seen them all up until then.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
