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.

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
