Hey guys, so I just picked up a R34 GT Skyline with some damage in the front and rear bumpers and the bonnet. Instead of replacing them with the same part, I was considering having a custom bodykit made up. Basically, I need front bumper, wheel arches, side skirts and rear bumper. But I've never had to have anything like this made before so I don't really know where to start. If i wanted it made from scratch, what sorts of prices would i be looking at? And does anyone know a good place in Perth to contact about the job?

All help appreciated.

Thanks

You gotta find a bodykit place that'll be willing to do it.. It's not cheap.. why not just get aftermarket kits already available?

Yeah I've settled on a nice front bumper. I was keen to do the whole individual sort of thing, but at the end of the day, I can make my baby just as individual with nice paint, rims, a mixed body kit and a nice engine.

Thanks mate

haha i remember you now.. you're that dude that wanted to make the uber photochopped skyline.. I thought you said you worked in the mines or something and had lots of money to do it to a GTR..

So instead you bought a cosmetically damaged N/A??? Sounds like you were just a school kid..

Actually I left the mines dick wad. And I joined the military full time. Decided I'd do something that actually made a difference. And although I did in fact post that GTR photoshopped picture, I seriously considered having certain parts of it put into practice. But then again, since that time I've become engaged, left the mines (as stated above), am expecting a kid and kinda need to control my spending a bit, so the GTR was out of the question. But thank you for your judgmental point of view and I wish you the best with whatever projects you have going.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
