I have been looking at bodykits for the new R32 and came across a website called Phat Kits

I would like to do a R32/4 conversion, and have been looking at the BeeR kits but didnt like the price so much. I then stumbled across Phat Kits.

http://www.phatkits.com.au/Product.aspx?pid=9

Does anyone know anything about them? How they fit up? Etc.... ??

If you do, I would love to hear from you. I know you get what you pay for, but I have my rose tinted glasses on and am hoping that they might be all right.... :D

I dont know ecactly about this kit in particlar but what I have seen is usually people who are going for the 32 34 conversion it never fits exactly theres alot of customisation work and the time put into this will determine the end product. Since it is not just a kit made to put on your car it is more custom so you really gotta work your ass of to make it look good , cause they can either end up really well or really bad, there a thread in the i think fabrication thread about some guy doing it to hes r32

there the link have a look at it to see the work hes gone through, but yeah my opinion unless your really good at bodywork and custom stuff or are gona take it somewhere reptuable where your prepared to pay its not worth it

Yeah I am agreeing with you.... Ive been doing some research and Im not seeing alot that have come up perfectly without a lot of fiddling and modifying.

I am going for the GTR front bar. I want to also get a nice rear bar and skirts to replace the pods and the crappy side skirts that are on there.

Havent seen anything I really like as yet - Veilside have a nice rear, havent found skirts that I want as yet and am still looking for a good quality GTR bar also

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
