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

Well if you find that rear bumper, post a picture. I'm thinking of getting a rear bumper for my car but haven't seen any that i like yet lol.

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

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
