    Any other z31 owners had trouble in the past finding a bodykit?

    Trying to find one in Australia or a easy one to source, if u have gone down the track of finding a z31 bodykit please fill me in!

    I feel ya pain :mad:

    Been down this path with a mate ( differant make and model & a much older car aswell ..... ).

    What we did was to trawl a huge used car yard with a tape measure and cardboard cutouts of the sills, front / rear bumper, & boot shape.

    Took just on 3 hours to find all the shapes n sizes we wanted and he then ordered his kit as sills from one make, front clip from another make, rear wing from yet another type and the rear valance he got off of ebay.....

    End result was excelent, we only had to cut the rear valance to fit ( 25mm to wide ) ! Yes it took some time measuring up and 'test fitting' our cutouts, but time well spent in that he got a kit for a car that never had one available and it all fitted up really well.


    my best tip....... start with the skirts, there will several differing models that will have the same sill length as your car has ! the rear and front clips will be slighty harder to get right tho........ a flush boot fitted rear wing will be the hardest !

    I've seen a ford capri ( think mid 70's coupe) with a Hyundi rear wing..... looked quite good too I might add !
    :cool:

    alot cheaper that way to, but alot harder and no guarnted result.

    Think im just going to have to order internationaly, American companys make em but no side skirts which i could get using Your method and the germans make a beut complete kit as i just found out but bloody expsensive.
