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.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
