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?

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

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
