Hey - was interested if anyone knew how much it would cost to buy and install a body kit onto my r33 non turbo coupe skyline (i am planning on buying one after christmas). If anyone knows an average price or even where i could ring someone to find out how much it costs to fit a full body kit it would be appreciated. I will be around melbourne at the time of buying one but i will be back on the gold coast later.

Thanks to anyone who reads this :)

Luke.

Allow say $1k to paint and fit, plus depending on kit possibly another 800-1000 depending on quality

It really depends on the quality of the kit and how much fitment work u want someone to do putting it on the car...

R33 full kits are like $500 + $80 postage on ebay. But they are fibreglass. If you want plastic, you're looking at something like $2000 for the kit by itself.

Fit/Paint....Depends on who you take it to really. If they charge extra for fitting...I'd fit it myself to save some cash. But yeh, painting will cost you $500 minimum.

errr. if you buy a 500$ kit on ebay.. then you deserve everything that it is..

a fiberglass kit is roughly 800-100k

a plastic one for a skyline.. well that's another story.. expect to sell your arse for that

edit. mind you unless your looking for genuine nismo etc secondhand ones then maybe they will be resonable price

Have heard about some of the ebay kits people are buying horrible fitments so much work needed and for those after a cheap kit it is the best option but dont expect quality fitment.

Even mine had gaps on the rear bar for fitment and sagged under drivers headlight...but that was temporary kit until what my cars just had fitted and painted so wasnt fussed. Also check how many layers of fibreglass used cause that makes it cheaper but u'll have more driveway damage

Hey I wasn't endorsing it, just letting him know what his options are, and since the thread is called "cost estimation" I'm assuming cheapest one is required.

$1000 for a fibreglass kit? err, yeh gold plated it better be.

And besides, not everyone can afford expensive kits, Just coz they've got an import.

he meant 100k as in 100 000... and yes a fiberglass kit is roughly 1k.. i suggest you ring up before giving this advice.. it was even quoted on both above me

NA Goodness - 2k for kit, paint & fit.. so roughly 800 -1000 for kit and 1k -1200 for paint and fit

ShyBoi - Allow say $1k to paint and fit, plus depending on kit possibly another 800-1000 depending on quality

if you can find me a brand new PLASTIC kit for 1k.. reference it to me

just to give you an idea.. i was looking at genuine Do-Luck kit.. roughly 10k..

if he wasnts the cheapest kit then yes ebay is the go.. but if he wants the cheapest kit to actually go on the car then no it prob isnt unless he does the work himself cause there would be alot of labour involced to get the kit to fit and the panel shop is going to charge for man hrs.. or do a plain shithouse job..

1k isnt expensive at all.. if you can't afford a decent job of it then dont get it.. its not an expensive kit..

Well..upto him. Depends on how much he wants to spend.

Nah i didn't say I could get a plastic kit for 1000, I WISH!!

I've had fibreglass front bars crack twice on me already, after hitting high angle roads. You never really appreciate plastic until you get fibreglass :)

fibreglass is the way to go....

plastic is great, but its just too expensive.

if you run real low fibreglass WILL get smashed tho, i go through a front bar every 18 months or so

Easy way to put it depending on the kit

Front Bar: $300-350

Side Skirts: $200-250

Rear Bar: $250-350 depends on what you want unless you leave it standard

I know you can get $500 kits on ebay and that but they only have like 2-3 layers of fibreglass which means if you kit anything it'll crack from say your fenders down about 15cms just hitting a driveway. The other ones people are quoting have like 6 layers of fibreglass so if you hit a driveway you'll maybe get a crack like 3cms...so strength of the fibreglass is important as hamish said you may go through a bar per year otherwise...depending how low the car is.

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
