Hey Guys i'm currently lookin out for a new bodykit for my 94 R33 GTS. I haven't heard good things about Carmate but there is a bodykit on there that is the exact look I am going for. Anyways long story short anyone know where I can find this bodykit or a similar design preferably in QLD. I don't want anything flashy with vents every which way just looking for a bodykit with nice clean lines. Heres the pic of the Carmate one.

Cheers

Pez

it is a custom fit front bar. pretty sure she got it done at carmate then sprayed at a place in liverpool. unsure of price but they are all mix and match pieces. the lines on the rear bar dont flow with the side skirts etc. i like the front bar but would go with diff sides and rear.

Yea I knew the front was from Carmate, they call it an MST Style front I think. Only problem is there in Sydney and I haven't heard great things about em whereas DMD in brisbane I've heard great things about so I was hoping to find something similar at a bodykit shop in QLD. And yea i'll attempt to track down a nice rear bumper i'm pretty picky bout em too.

PS. Your missus has a mint skyline, whats the white strip on the back in the pictures of the rear bumper though I couldn't work it out :S at first I thought it was tape holding the bumper on :D

Edit: Well DMD has a website however the pics are a bit below average... these are the similar bodykits i've found.

This one seems quite similar to me?

And this is the M-Sports one mentioned

They call this one Trail but they haven't got any front pics of it? If anyone has a front pic i'd love to see it.

Did a bit of hunting and found the front to the Trial Kit, I think its okay the only problem is i'm driving a NA R33 which means i'm not gonna have an intercooler sittin behind the bodykit... i'm thinking a fine mesh grill chromed would look okay instead of the intercooler? what do ya's reckon?

I think that front bar is Trust, not trial...

edit: i like how on the trust bar it has the grill moulded onto the bar. looks smooth

Thats where im getting confused because on the DMD website that red and black two tone skyline is labelled "Trail" Kit not Trust is this just renaming between shops or is it a mistake on the DMD website? At the moment i'm leaning towards the full Trust Kit or the BN Kit from DMD all of my mates (not skyline owners) think BN is the nicest. At the moment i'm still undecided.

While were on the topic of bodykits... What would I be looking at to get the bodykit sprayed in the same colour as the car and while there at it a bit of touch up paint here and there on the car (spoiler and part of the roof). I'm weighing up whether to save up for a little longer and get a complete respray in the colour I want the car to be which is a sky blue. Or just get the bodykit blended into the stock "Ocean Blue" paint. What do ya reckon fellas?

im planning on spraying my whole car in the distant future. but if u got the money and u dont mind the car being off the road for a while then do it.

with the body kit, im unsure of pricing really. wen i went to jetspeed last they said somewhere around 750 for a full gtr style bodykit. possibly sprayed? unsure. but it cant hurt to ask them to touch htings u. u never know, they could do it for free cause its only minor

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
