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 =)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
