i must say, seeing the pictures doesnt clarify everything. but in saying so :

1, looks like this guy knows what hes doing if he had to cut your skirts and re fibreglass join them , aside the paint quality as they say you get what you pay for.

2, the kit obviously is garbage if he had to join them. you can see why , obviously these skirts wont bend around the gaurd to fit , thats why he has cut them.

3, rear bar looks terrible , these cheap kits are rubish , they never fit properly and i must say , iv never seen a decent body kit which hasnt got cracks in the paint . you twist the car going up steep drive way and they crack without them touching the floor. they are just garbage

4, stick to the standard bodykit , that thing doesnt suit the skyline one bit. quality isnt cheap , thats why plastic or carbon fibre is the way to go as far as body panels. genuine plastic panels , your looking into the high hundreds per skirt , bumper.

Replying to your post SKY017 ---- if this guy knows how to cut the fibreglass then he must know how to join them as well but got massive lumps where he joined the side skirts.......... you are right that these pictures can't do justice............. you have to see it to believe .............. i showed the bodykit to Victor at jetspeed and after looking at the bodykit he recon. if someone knows how to install fibreglass bodykit will not cut it and join it again............... he recon. heating the fibreglass with a heat gun should flex it and no need of cutting for just extending it 2cm.......... same with the rear bar.................... All fibreglass kits are not rubbish mate............ i checked the quality of this whole kit before buying it and it was not too bad............... it all depends how you prep. it so you can get good results ........................ you shold seen the paint job mate............... it got paint run marks everywhere even on the genuine plactic rear spoiler series-2........ the person who can't paint the genuine spoiler ............ then waht you expect from him with the fibreglass.............. yes, it was my f**K up in first place that i want to save bit of money and trusted this guy.............. but learned the hard way .......................

Why do people still pay good money for fibreglass Shit. On one of my first cars (nissan Exa) I got a Jetspeed body kit fitted to it paid stupid amounts of cash for it and it never fit properly looked shit and lasted about a week!

Being fiberglass doesn't mean it's shit... Even Nismo or Eastbear makes fiberglass, does that mean they make shit parts?..

I think what people should do is invest some money into well known brands, brands that have good feedback on fitment.

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
