Does this work out fairly alright in price if you spray everything when you buy a new bodykit, except the engine bay, in the original colour, just a re-coat?

Not really, basicly costs the same to respray your car with or without the new body kit.

Prob needs a new thread on this but will try here anyways..

I'm after links to places to get ORIGINAL bodykits? Do they still have these? I'm after..

1. Either GTT or GTR Do-Luck Front Bar

2. Bommex Sides & Rear Bar

Just interested on P&A.. Mainly intersted in Front Bar due to more flex (those with Do-Luck will understand the pain XD).. Still havent decided whether i want GTR Bonnet for a more 'bulky' look

Oh and i have searched the forums.. And i googled (interwebs full of shit these days)

And also if you are going to get the car resprayed.. better to wait and get the bodykit and re-coat done at same time.. should get a cheaper price then getting it done separately.. Plus will be matched 100% as came from same batch paint

yeah i'd be happy with GTR do-luck.. got any links? i'd only want the front bar.. i could just leave the sides & rear as fpr.. it's just the do-luck is so low but so, so hot.. i'm already in the process of cutting my driveway to get the car up easily LOL

hey dale.. i'm assuming you got fpr? i was looking at original.. do-luck state the cost is 105,000 yen.. roughly $1770AU.. but when the economy is better should bring the price down.. just gotta weigh up the adv/disadv against fpr & plastic..

i got a gtt do-luck fpr already on the car.. you got any do-luck gtt - GTR lip to match GTT Front with the GTR bonnet... prob will stick with GTT bonnet but still messing with what i'm after as GTR makes front look tougher.. but i don't wanna make it look GTR when it ain't lol

Yup ours is in FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic). And at the moment the DoLuck kit we have is only for GTR.

i need the do-luck lip add-on for the bonnet do you psi guys have it?

Nope, sorry mate. Although we are trying to source one, but is proving difficult.

yeah it sucks my car looks so ugly without one >.< this is for the 34 GTR doluck bar btw. i seen viva garage have it on their stag/34 but they said it was custom and wanted to charge 300 for it!!!!

Hey guys drove down to DMD today and got a quote on the bodykit and sprays. This is what he gave me.

For a full M Sport or BN Style bodykit i'm looking at $990 (Not fitted or sprayed)

Add another $1400 to have it fitted and sprayed in the colour of my car.

So around the $2500 mark for a full kit in my fairly plain, stock dark blue colour.

Or for a full respray in a sky blue with no pearl or anything special $6000 for the spray plus $990 for the kit.

So around $7000 for that option...

Now at the moment i'm only working part time and wouldn't be seeing $7k for close to a year if I saved a fair bit... What do you all reckon of the quotes for the options I was given. Theres always the third option of just buying the bodykit and getting it fitted and sprayed elsewhere. Or just not getting it sprayed and drive around in a project car ;)

Let me know your thoughts ;)

Unfortunately i'm on my P's so a turbo skyline is out of the question. Besides i'm not really interested in going fast ey I like the look of skylines don't really mind about the speed it goes. You could basically call me a poser ;) so yea are the quotes ok or?

if you can afford it than go for it!! ask them if they can do a discount, once your pretty serious about it and tell them you want it they would most probly give you a discount on things, and ask them to polish up your headlights for you for free ahah!

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
