Hi guys,

I am intending to purchase 400R side skirts for my R33, but I noticed that there are some going around without the little vent thing in them, (i.e. without the cut outin the side skirt)

Are these also 400R side skirts, if so, where can I get my hands on some that don't have the cut out (saves me from having to fiberglass the one with the hole)?

Cheers

Show some pics.. then we can look at what side skirts your talking about (might not even be 400r

If you go to the following link you will see them:

As you can see the skirts on the white R33 don't have holes in them....

dont touch anything off ebay.

I would say that white 400r kit might have white mesh on there.

Having said that however i got some jun sides off ebay. They didnt have holes cut, the were broken and they were of real shit quality.

NEVER BUY A KIT FROM EBAY

^ worst advise ever

when u get it painted, ask the person to fill up the hole

Its not a big job but may cost a little extra

I will be painting and fitting them myself, it would just save me time not having to fibreglass it by getting it without the whole.

Thanks anyways lads.

the only reason I suggest mybodykits off ebay is because Ive bought quite a few things off him full kit m-sport r33/r32 gtr front bar/r33 trial front bar and they have been the best quality fibreglass I've used anyway its up to you..

Yes I did purchase them from him, good quality stuff I must say, feels very sturdy.

I fiberglassed the holes and painted them. Will post pics soon. job turned out well, would have saved me some time but not to fibre glass them.

Should always pre fit body kits cause they rarely fit. You might get lucky but more then likely you may have to do some changes to get it to fit.

WHat sort of changes? WHy would painting it matter?

If you did have to make alterations, commen sense tells me that it would be on the edges or on the inside of the side skirt, why would you have to modify the outside of the skirt since it doesn't impeed on anything?

well if you had to modify the edges on top of the paint job it would be seen wouldnt it? In that case if you wanted it to look pro you would have to re do the paint.

Common sense would have told me to pre fit before paint but what ever you say.

And you'd modify edges on the top that don't touch anything because....??

as i said because it would be SEEN! When you open the door. Also what if you havent sanded it down enough and you close the door and it hits the skirt, then you will chip or remove a layer of paint/fibreglass.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
