Hi guys, Ive been looking for a skyline for some time now, just waiting for the right one to pop up. Looking at an r33 gtst.

Im a complete amatuer, so Ive got a few questions:

1) Bodykits - where can i get them here in Perth? I know i can get them online etc, but is there an actual store i can go to and buy them?

Where can i get them fitted too?

2) What do you think is a nice bodykit for the r33? Trust and do-luck seem to be pretty popular from what ive seen.

3) Paintjobs - Any good places you know i can get them done? How much?

All help will be appreciated! Thanks in advance :happy:

alrighty then :P

uhm i just bought my 34 to, so i've done a little researched hehe

bodykits can be sourced from fibrevision i think they are called? but if you want to look at what the bodykits are like? goto www.carmate.com - the nismo kit your talking about olivia is the "GTR copy" on carmate, i'm wanting to get that kit to! just from what i hear, fibreglass kits can either come good or dodgy :happy:

another kit i want is the impul kit, looks mean! well the front looks great the sides and back are still good but not as good as the nismo sides hehe

but with paintjobs, that's a difficult one... i've had my boot repaired and a few places resprayed on my car first thing, i did it down in rockingham with:

Barbers Mechanical Services

Specializing in Panel and Paint

dent removals

mag wheel repairs

fiberglass/plastic repairs

Unit C, 93 Dixon Road, Rockingham

He was great! did a really good job on my boot, properly welded it back up and everything, found that the previous owner had only masked up the gaping holes from the stock spoiler ;)

plus he used to build fibreglass bodykits and paint back in the UK (showed me some of his work whilst there) great stuff :D

there are a few other places you can try. just do a search in WA thread for ppl looking for bodykits etc :) they usually tell about their experiences to hehe

i can vouch for fibrevision's work. rang the bloke there and got him to make up a 400r front bar for my 33 as it was booked in to replace the existing front bumper. he made the bumper in something like 2 days and it was at my door in 3 days. I live in Kalgoorlie, 600kms from Perth so he's a very convenient guy to go through.

the bumper wasn't rushed and done poorly either. it was solid as. didnt require any modifying by the panel and paint place and when i picked the car up they said this is the only fibreglass bumper they had had no problems fitting. he's pretty good for prices too. may charge more than some places but you know the bumper's etc are brand new and made to a high quality.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
