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

dent removals

mag wheel repairs

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 from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!
    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
