Hi Everyone hope everythings going well with your lines,

Well the time has finally come for me to fix up the body on my skyline before taking it to Regency to finally get my defect removed. I have been looking at all the usual suppliers Monkey Warehouse, DMD Image, VivaGarage etc but only have experience with VivaGarage whose service was fine but the old front bar never quite fitted right.

Has anyone on here recently bought a R33 GTS-T bodykit and if so where did you buy it from and how did it fit etc? Im looking for something a little more stylish I don't like BN, URAS or any of those style kits prefer something with shape yet not as crazy as Veilside. Does anyone have any suggestions I was considering GP Sports as I know someone with a genuine Jap kit so it should fit perfectly but its still a little to BN/URAS for my liking.

I am interested in the Trial style rear/ Genuine Du-Luck Rear and haven't really decided on the front and sideskirts but my stick to my Series 2 Front bar with lower lip and N1 vents but I really have to do something about the rear especially with the new wheels which will be going on once back on the road.

Any feedback on your experiences with suppliers and kit designs would be much appreciated.

Im a big fan of the Do-Luck kit on 33's or even Wise Sports. Or if you want to go really individual you could go AB-FLUG. Got Hyper Rev here if you want to borrow it mate for inspiration.

Damn me for having a sedan, bugger all available!

I've always been told sedan rear bars are different to the coupes, but you might be right Steve, cant see them changing the mounts too much.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.
