400r Side Skirts Help Needed

[Turbz RB-25]

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

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

go onto ebay and type in mybodykits he sells them on there and they are fairly good quality..

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.

Hi fellas,

I fibre glassed the side skirts and painted them, they look better now without the hole I think.

Attached a pic to show you guys.

Uhhh no... was I supposed to? Can't I assume that if I buy something that it will fit?

Will it be a big deal since I didn't do a pre fit?

[Pattygtst]

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?

[Pattygtst]

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....??

[Pattygtst]

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.

[johnbarry88]

as said above paint makes things thicker and can/will chip or scratch badly when opening doors...this is why u test fit to make sure
