Order them through a local (Australian) importer - RMS Motor Parts, excellent prices and delivery times.

Were there any marks / decals / stickers on the front swaybar? I've just bought a "Cusco" one but can't see any sign of Cusco on it???

The swaybars had a small silver sticker with some Cusco branding on it

sorry if this sounds like a silly question but did your GTR brakes just bolt straight on, as im looking to upgrade brakes & suspension?

Mines obviously not genuine so keep the updates coming though :thumbs:

It's a pretty straight forward conversion if you go with R33 Brembo's (shares the same thread size as the S15) Just make sure you have all the basic items:

R33 Front and Rear Brembo's
R33 BMC
R33 GTR Rotors and Pads
R33 Rear Hub assembly with handbrake cables. I know some people have done the rear conversion by modifying the stock hub to suit the new caliper based hand brake - but really why bother when you can bolt the whole thing on?

^Oh and most importantly, make sure you have rims that will clear the new setup! I know the following stock rims will clear:

- R32 GTR V-Spec II (17" BBS)
- R33 GTR V-Spec
- R34 GTT
- R34 GTR

my rims are 18 x 8 Konig Heatsink's looks like there is plenty of room in there but i will measure them any way

Picked up my bodykit today - only took me 3 years to finally order it. Will be on early next year along with my Work Meister S1's with some luck

I've had no issues with HKS EVC V, I'm running about 17psi through my 2871r and it holds boost great.Still haven't learnt how to use all crazy functions it has on offer.

Damn the car has come along really well. I am getting an entire R34 Brembo setup and I may just swap them onto my ER34 and swap my current brakes to the S14.5. I know I will have to widen the caliper bolt holes as they take bigger bolts. Car is looking really good now, can't wait to see it with the kit on, did you rob a bank BTW????

 

[raytsang]

Good Choice in Body kit you will not be dissapointed

What offset you getting for the meisters? will be nice to see how it will work with the vertex ridge kit.

You won’t be disappointed with the Brembo setup. If I robbed a bank then I would be in a Ferrari Italia not Silvia Nah just have a decent job and work alot lol.

I’ve been looking to get the Vertex Ridge since I got the car, took a little longer than expected. Same as yours except I opted for the large canards and the removal of the venting around the side indicator.

I got the Work Meister S1’s a couple year back, specifications are:

Fronts 19x9 - 10 (114mm dish, R disk) wrapped in 245 Dunlop SP9000 tyres.
Rears 19x10 - 15 (133mm dish, O disk) wrapped in 285 Dunlop SP9000 tyres.

the offset seem ok for the kit.. i'll be looking forward to seeing some pics of the kit and wheels together

 

[s15dorkie]

wait vertex ridge is widebody isnt it ?? why vertex lang is normal whole kit .?? how come to me vertex ridge look normal but not widebody !

Should fill out the kit quite well, what offsets are your running with your setup? Should all be together early next year.

The Vertex Ridge is widebody, however it is quite subtle compared to other widebody kits out there. The Vertex Lang is a normal bodykit but has similar styling.

 

[s15dorkie]

ohh that why... lol.... !!!! wonder why i kept confuse about ridge and lang !
