yeah I have the BN Sports widebody kit. I advertised it for sale cos I needed the cash.

everyone likes the kit, but not its cost though. I asked $2500 for it, which is what it costs for an original BN Sports 9 piece widebody kit (front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts, rear pumped fenders, front pumped fenders and fuel flap).

Some guy offered to copy it and give me the original back along with 2 copies, but then he dissapeared off the face of the earth, he said he was with Jetspeed, so when I rang jetspeed they said they weren't too keen to make a widebody mould.

I asked one of my mates how much the mould would make as he took moulds of my vertex ket and he said it'd be about 8k. So I gave up on the whole making copies thing and decided that I'll just put it on my car be the only one in Australia with the kit, so everyone can kiss my black ass :thumbsup:

the kit actually cost me 100,000yen plus shipping, roughly it came to just under $1700 landed. it retails for about $2500. I'm not too interested in selling it now as I don't need the cash anymore. I don't mind someone getting copies of it made though, as long as I get something out of it, my original is returned undamaged and the kit is copied in melbourne. I haven't mounted or painted the kit yet as I'm waiting to finish the engine mods to the car before I get started on the body.

i wouldnt mind if you could make a copy and ill pay you what it costs, other option is to ship it to me in sydney and ill make a copy of t here, i have mates who do bodykits.( costs to much to start from scrath) are you sure you wont take a reasnable offer for it

yeah I'm sure I don't wanna sell it. I don't mind the kit being copied as long as it stays in melbourne (last time I sent off a vertex kit to be copied to QLD and that was a logistical nightmare... by the time I got the kit back every tom dick n harry and their pet goldfish had one) and also the kit has to be returned undamaged. If you can organise that then we can discuss a deal for me supplying the original.

If not I do container runs from japan almost every month. I can get you an original from BN Sports. I also have a trade account with URAS, so if you want any of their kits I can hook you up with a cheaper deal.

i dunno, I don't think you can. I haven't fitted it to my car yet, so I can't tell you for sure. The rear fender for example only comes halfway down over the original guard, the rest is part of the sideskirt, so I'd say you'd need at least 6 of the pieces. The front bumper I guess you could bog and blend into the wider guard. Rear bumper forms part of the rear guard as well, so that might be a lil trickier.

There's also a "garage V" (i think that's what its called... this was the one I wanted originally... its the one in the "GTR Story" DVD) widebody kit, a veilside widebody kit and a kakimoto widebody kit. Although I think the latter 2 are for GTR's only.

anyone know where to buy one ive been racking my brain for days, thanks in advance

We get all our kits done by Ken Streeter.

He makes fibreglass kits for most imports, they are excellent in quality. The main reason we go to him is that his kits have a lot of flex... so when/if you hit/touch anything, the kit is more likely to bounce/flex rather than snap. He gave us a demonstration by taking a sideskirt for a 180sx, and bending it over itself. I was impressed =)

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
