Hey guys,

I'm proudly pushing a 1998 GT-T 2 door R34.

I was wondering the best place to get a body kit in Perth. So far the only place that I know of is the Spoiler Shop and I've got a quote from them and they are RIDICULOUSLY expensive. I am after the Bomex bumper and the Bomex side skirts as well.

I've done some searching around online and this is what I've found so far...

Monkeywarehouse.com.au did not have what I was after. XXX Bodykits would be almost $400 postage from over east....So far the cheapest rear bar is $325 including P&H from Vivagarage.com.au

The cheapest sideskirts are $180 including P&H from Ebay

I'm also after some flares that I can only seem to find on Carmate.com and I've heard they're REALLY SLOW with postage times. So I'm going to have to

get them from there, long delivery or not if I can't find them elsewhere..... And they're $478.50 inc P&H.

This is the Bomex side skirts and Rear bar for those who don't know what I'm after

So if anyone knows the best place to get these/has some for sale or has seen these flares for sale anywhere other than carmate than please let me know.

It would be muchos gracias Senors and Senoritas

In my opinion if you were looking to buy fibreglass copies - unless experienced in panelbeating yourself - you should probably go to a shop like the spoilershop who both brings the parts in and gets them to fit your car for you.

fibreglass kits can be a nightmare to fit, and if you buy the kit yourself and get someone to fit it for you - it may work out more expensive if you have to pay them for tons of labour to get it to fit right. at least from the spoiler shop its a fixed price!

Ive gotten a rear bumper + side skirts done from greg and he made them fit very well. he works with carmates products alot so he should have tons of experience getting their kits to fit.

vivagarage/carmate are pretty cheap but ive heard their kits can be quite difficult to fit at times.

theres another place in bibra lake or oconnor called in style customs or something that brings in carmates stuff, could check with them.

Yeah, I'm not going to fit them myself. I just want to know the cheapest place to get them from. I have a few places in mind for fitting/spraying, I am just after the cheapest place to get them. I've heard that the spoiler shop isn't that flash at paint matching.so I was thinking Instyle customs or I have a few other places recommended by friends in mind for fitment/spraying. Was just looking for the cheapest/best place to get my hands on them. So far the cheapest for the bomex side skirts is $285 from Viva Garage and the Bomex rear bar is cheapest of Viva Garage @ $325.

Where as at the spoilershop I was quoted $445 for the side skirts and $660 for the rear bar. NOT sprayed or fitted. It would be cheaper to bring them in from online and get them sprayed.

spoiler shop did a pretty good job on my car :)

check out a few other places though, and try to get a fixed quote on fitting/painting the kit on from the other places - that way you avoid them charging you bucketloads for labour if the kit doesnt fit well :)

and yeah getting them online yourself is always cheaper - skipping the middleman haha. vivagarage is pretty cheap but im not entirely too sure on the quality of their body kits, ive heard a few mixed reviews.

good luk mate :) i think in style customs pricing is similar to spoiler shops btw

Yeah I've got a mate who got skirts and a front bar from spoiler and like... 18 months later the paint is looking pretty shit. Starting to crack/peel.

I think I've got some guys lined up for paint. It's worth taking the risk trying to get it cheaper though from online even if I need to pay a bit more to get them fitted. Never know if you don't try. Anyway that's a few months away. Going to start ordering in the parts with my tax return :) haha. I'll keep you posted

thought about these three if u MUST go for kits?

Just a thought,

when i look at peoples cars with these carmate bodykits though, They NEVER line up 100% and that wud give me the shits bad but maybe not so much for u bodykit lovers lol.

When i first got my r34 the Bomex kit was soooo freaking awesome, you have no idea how cool it looked. then 2 of my friends got the sides and rear then i saw the whole kit on a randoms car one day and it made me want to kill myself for wanting it. If you saw it in real life its not what you expect it to be. also they have copies of this kit for lancers and i've seen a lancer around beechboro with the rear and sides. didnt see the front tho

I have the impul copies on my car :action-smiley-069:

i like the stock front bumper - just needs a lip of some sort on bottom

sounds good man, alot of the time all u need is that front jdm lip and it will be alot better looking then a entire front bar swap,

i once had a 5th gen prelude with a black jdm front lip looked heaps neat. i agree with u ;)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
