Hi guys i just stumbled on some kits that are in the US for like $600 GTR looking kit. They are made out of some material that i have never herd of link is below if anyone knows much about em please let me know as im considering purchaing one.

some of the ebay stuff have very bad fitment, so to get it professionally re-worked for a proper fit is prolly going to cost a lot more.

not really into the GTR looking kits, imho best get a kit made specifically for the V35...the nismo, impul, kuruma z or kenstyle all look good.

Just make sure you go to a reputable place that have experience in fitting and painting body kits. You might be able to go to local Nissan dealer to fit a OEM geninum replacement parts, but not aftermarket.

Good luck.

I had some pics sent to me from prestiege and the paint jobs where shocking the silver GTR kit did not match the color of the car in the sun at all, this is my worst nightmare to have that happen :S im not sure if i should kit it at all now

Adam, the main reason of mis-match paint when installing body kits is because of different materials used.

The material of the body of the car (i.e Plastic, Aluminium, etc.) attracts the paint particles at different rates compare to material used for aftermarket body kits (i.e. Fibreglass, Carbon fibre, etc.). Therefore, I believe no two different material parts will have a 100% matching paint. The best you can get it about 85%-90%.

But like I said before, if you go to a reputable place that have experience in fitting and painting body kits, you should be fine. Just make sure you give the right paint code and enough information (2 layers/3 layers pearl, etc.).

Worse being worse, you can make assurance with the place beforehand that, if the paint comes out totally crap, they will have to fix it up. And they will as big/famous places are scared to loss good rep. :)

Good luck with the process.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
