Buying A Bodykit From Jdl

[B-rice]

Alright guys im about to purchase a bodykit from JDLTUNING its $1900 in total including postage. So i was wondering if anyone has had bad experience with them. Also does this sound like a good price to you guys or you could help me out to fork out a cheaper full bodykit.Its a replica of a Z tune bodykit made to fit a GT-T

I like it. However that isn't the z-tune kit. It's just the standard GTR kit but for the whole widebody kit delivered for 1900 I reckon that's a pretty good price.

I'm not sure on the quality of it though..

As above,

Nothing about that kit is from the Z-tune except the bonnet.

Front bar is a gtr front bar with both lower lips,

Side skirts look like JDL's own take on the GTR standard skirt

Rear bar is a standard gtr rear bar.

However if they all fit up to the gtt nice and snug i think it is a good price.

I tried looking for the differences but i couldnt see it.Looked on images for the Z tune and the gtr one, and they look the same. They also fit perfectly because they're meant to be made specifically for the GT-T.

anyway i will be making purchase shortly.The guy also offered me a further discount of $1500 in total. Also i was wondering if i have to pay customs

and import duties but i hear its for purchases over over $1000. Not sure if they include the shipping cost in that amount as the price of the kit was $800 and postage being $700.

Just coz it's made to fit a gtt doesn't mean the fitment will be good, any cheap body kit will have fitment problem as cheap kits usually mean cheap/ shit moulds they ate made from so don't expect anything to line up perfectly.

Also if you can't tell the difference between a z tune and standard kit u should get your eyes checked, the differences are easy to spot.

Well i didnt manage to source out pictures which had them next to each other and i havent seen any Z tunes in Canberra not even GTR's.Im going to be optimistic that they will fit perfectly positivity is always a good thing. I will be uploading some pictures in a few weeks time when they arrive.

R34 GTR

Nismo Z-Tune

and you've probably haven't seen any Z-Tune's around cause theres only 20 in the world

In terms of body kits, u get what u pay for. That's y genuine kits cost so much because they will always fit.

Also are u going to be moulding the rear guards into the body ?

U would be better off expecting the worst coz then everything can become a positive.

So your honest opinion do you think they would be a genuine kit

price wise they're pretty much the same as EAST BEAR, NISMO etc cant call them cheap really i just got discount because im in Australia and the seller is in Poland.

even without the discount, it's still a price bracket under Nismo and east bear.

all we are saying is it might not be a perfect fit, you might have to crack out a heat gun and mould it a little around your car.

mate that entire kit is less than the genuine z tune front bar so no, there is no chance at all that its a genuine kit. also east bear is more expensive than your kit

http://www.rhdjapan.com/nissan/r34-skyline-gt-r/bumpers

refer to the above link to see how much genuine kits will cost you.

for example, my abflug rear diffuser alone was $1600, but the fit in 100% perfect, not a single tiny gap can be found anywhere.

Im not trying to put u off buying the kit im just letting u know not to expect a good fitting kit as price normally reflects quality

[ecliptor]

I'd listen to the advice people have given you mate, $1900 for the whole kit may seem like a bargain, but if the parts don't line up as easily as the the website says it will

then I reckon you'll be looking easily at another $1900 or more just to get them fitted and painted by a shop.

[UWISSH!]

if he is getting the full kit with all the guards he will need n entire respray so that will be atleast $5000

also please tell me that you are not going to put GTR badges on it

Yeah I think he is buying the whole kit Chris, so like you said it's gonna cost him a small fortune to get installed properly and painted.

Personally I'd go the Altia Aero kit if I owned a R34 - but each to there own I guess

The seller is in Poland! Wrong. Save yer dosh for purchase from a reputable supplier sir.

was looking at buying a wide body kit for my r34 gtt and i come accross this web site http://www.topstage.com/shopping/

it looks like most of the kit is made from Cabron the prices are bit steep .

am looking for rear over-fenders prob 20mm or 50mm wide which are made from metal, aliminum the ones you can weld and not rubish FRP ect that u need to glue and screw.

couple of years back i have seen some overfender 50mm on ebay UK. cant seem to find it anymore.

Yh one of my mates. sourced out metals parts from an auction in japan.They were off a GTR that had been written off. What i could recommend you is if you find anyone that is wrecking a skyline you can probably ask to cut them out for you.Or if you fully serious and cashed up. Go to a metal fabricator (preferably someone with knowledge about car panels) with a set of FRP's they might be able to recreate them in metal.But as i said it could be costy
