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.

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.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
