R34 Side Skirts To Go With Standard Front Bar With Lip

Hey Guys

Been looking at the Impul body kit (Sides and rear only) to stick on the 34 with the factory front + lip.

I have uploaded a photo of my front (Factory + lip) here: http://mezmamedia.com/richie/photos/skyline_r34/skyline_yen_mumshouse_photoshopped.jpg

I'm thinking about getting the impul side skirts and rear bumper or the bomex sides and rear bumper. I'm leaning towards impul sides and rear.

The car hasn't been lowered and the front with the lip is approx 150mm off the ground.

Anyone know the height of the side skirts from factory suspension of the impul and bomex sides?

I'm hoping the impul side skirt kits would be around the same height as the front so they line up. The impul front bumper doesn't look like it would be much lower than my factory front and lip (Going by photos anyway).

Any and all help would be appreciated :)

looking good Charles. I attempted de-badging mine on the weekend - ended up melting the paint with the hair drier :(

Richie - I was looking at the z-tune skirts for my car, I think they would go with the front lip. Then again, I am going for the clean discrete look.

Yeh thats why I am looking at the impul side and rear - It doesn't look that much different than the factory stuff (Just a bit taller etc). The side skirts look like standard R33 sides as well.

If you think that's my car, it's not :P

My R34 is much more unique than that xD

Nope, I reckon it would be similar height, because the lip slopes down from the front to the rear, so the rear of the lip is lower, which should line up with the skirts.

If you want, I took my Nismo skirts to my panel beaters yesterday, so hopefully I'll have them on my car sometime next time, I'll send you some pics, because I think the Nismo skirts is pretty similar to Impul.

That will be awesome man - Decided not to paint your skirts yourself hey :P ?

I'm keen to get the impul sides and rear for the car - Looks like a better version of the factory standard kit hehe

Just don't want funny looking cross with the skirts and front

The impul front kind of looks like the factory bar with the lip as well :|

Yeah, coz the skirts needed to be kinda re-fibreglassed in some corners lol.

I agree, the Impul kit is one of my favourite, but I only like the sides and rear, the front is a little too much for me haha.

The side is simple and the rear is like factory but with added "pods" lol, just a clean, simple kit.

It lines up pretty nicely with your front lip man... That has given me more confidence that the impul side skirts should lineup with my bar...

ps: your car is in dire need of a wash :P

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
