im yet to find someone who's designed and built their own custom kit for the 33 (i mean apart from myself...)

anyone?

i wasn't happy with the other 4 front bars i tried, so this was my final straw

You have a Veilside kit, nuff said :D

there is no comeback on earth for this.....

Whatever champs, thats you opinion, garantee my car looks better than both of your cars

no... no it doesn't...

ok ,have fun takin the piss

:P i don't like to rag on members cars.... but you ASKED for it.... that shit is f**king heinous

honestly veilside should have been named failside..

yes... yes it should have...

as long as your happy with it thats what counts..

al you crack me up!

as for this thread...top secret but as stated to many around i'd try for something different

veilside for the FAIL!! only kit they produced decent was mazda rx7 fortune kit...

shanus: was going to do custom front bar similar to yours with the evo x sort of centre piece...may come later if i get around to the super gt bodykit :sick:

back on topic, I'd take the Top Secret over the one on Car Mate one, and I'd take ANYTHING over the failside kit.

that said, I'm a huge fan of the Diana kit for the R33 GTS by Insurance. Its clean and straight, none of this skirt like stuff from Vertex, BN, URAS and the billion other knockoffs.

you need balls to pull it off though, as the kit is intended to sit a few mm off the ground.

that kit looks like a rip off of vertex/bn combined front bar is basically vertex with a larger cooler hole, side skirts look shit becuase they curve up and the rear bar is basically a BN rear bar, probaly without the spoiler wouldnt look so bad..

anyway cheers for the feedback i kinda like how my car looks to. and you if its not a few mm off the ground it will look shit no matter what kit it is. nobody wants fender gap

that kit looks like a rip off of vertex/bn combined front bar is basically vertex with a larger cooler hole, side skirts look shit becuase they curve up and the rear bar is basically a BN rear bar, probaly without the spoiler wouldnt look so bad..

came out before vertex etc, so if anything they'd have gotten inspiration from it. No one except VIP style modders rock Insurance kits, so I doubt anyone in oz would have it unless it came with their car.

As for thread top secret ftw (i also have a full top secret kit)

as for vertex/bn style kits i cant stand the front / rear of them.. i'm not sure why but dare i say it.. veilside rear bar looks better then the fugly square things that stick out a mile in real life.. imo

in saying that though id still prefer the vertex style over the veilside front and sides (i actually really like the side skirts of the vertex style)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
