All parts are ready for pickup, most of you who are picking up would have been contacted, if not PM me.

Some parts have been damaged during shipping and I am currently trying to get a replacement sent. Damaged parts include:

- R34 Eyelids

- EG Spoon Lip

- ONE pair S2000 Side skirts extension

- S15 interior replacement

- GTT Cooling Panel

- R32 weathershields

Those who have ordered the bits that have been listed damaged above, will be contacted shortly later on. Those who require shipping, have been or will be PMed the total outstanding amount and shipping cost.

picked up my items yesterday. not too bad. took some photos for you guys.... hopefully fitment is pretty good.

I would have thought that the headlight intake would have had tabs on both sides but there isn't. We'll see how it goes when I try and fit it on and see how it goes on the track.

I attempted to fit my r32 dmax style roof spoiler tonight with no luck :( It doesn't sit flush so I kept pushing down with sikaflex with a helper waiting but its so curvy that it wont stay down in all places at the same time, I had my tie downs ready at the wheels to hold it firm against the windshield but it was to fiddly for it. Is anyone in the Sydney region that is willing to help me out? Or any tips? Is it safe to use a heat gun perhaps on the spoiler without ruining anything? Lost here....

I think my n1 boot lip will fit okay, haven't attempted it yet but I'm hoping it wont be as bad..

Also when will the damaged in transit parts be estimated to be made up and sent back here?

Thanks I will have a crack at it again sometime this week and when its all done will post up some photos. Might get some different stronger sikaflex too and try that out. Was using 227.

Will be doing your order soon plats, packing it properly and securely is the main problem right now. Do-able, though I'm making about 15 custom boxes from flat cardboards that won't crush, which is a pain. Got a few of the 33 grills out.

Recieved my R33 CF GTR style front grill yesterday. Item was well packed lots of bubble wrap to keep it safe.

Item itself I was happy with very light and the carbon was decent.

Fitment on the other hand was the downside, the grill will not fit without removing the rear tabs sticking out and doing a little DIY to make it sit on the car how you want it too. Anyone who is waiting on theres will know what I mean when they try and fit it on the car.

The grill itself lines up fine and once in place looks great fitment is good after DIY is finished.

Overall happy with the item and the result.

you just cut them off?

you just cut them off?

Yup i removed all 4 tabs. The top ones can probably be left on but the bottom ones have to go. As each grills tabs will probably slightly different angle/width i suggest you assess which ones need removing.

I found it easiest remove all 4 as i can then place the grill how i want it and not have the tabs restricting me.

The back tabs can be cut off with a dremel / wire cutters / flower cutter basically anything with a sharp blade and handles has the tabs are fiberglass and wont be hard to cut through.

Edited by DarkRyda

forgive me for being dumb here, but if you removed all the tabs how did you fit it man?????!

Imagination and creativity =).

I drilled 4 holes at the back, two at the top of the grill where the tabs used to be and another two at the bottom next to the mesh screws. Then you zip-tie the grill to the headlight. Placement of the holes and the Zip-ties are most important or it wont fit properly.

You could also go to bunnings and get 2 U-Shaped brackets bot 1 on each side and attach that to the headlights. With doing this the U brackets must be the correct size or the grill will stick out to much. The ziptie option is probably the easiest and cheapest.

Wow dude you car is porn. What rims are you running?

Thank you. PM sent as this question is off-topic

cool. mines a white car so itll stand out like a bitch if it dont fit

The fitment is good pretty much perfect if you install it correctly.

Btw don't bother trying to zip tie it from the mesh it wrecks the mesh and doesn't align properly, so save yourself the trouble as I tried it and it didn't work at all.

Just a note the mesh comes silver I painted mine matte black with a satin clear. Maybe since your car is white silver mesh would look better.

    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
