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!

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
