So, which do you guys like more, the r33 kit or the 270r kit? Feel free to add a choice with pics or whatever.

thats the 270r kit above, and here's the r33 kit

[PantherRacer]

The R33 looks better on the S14. That one will get attention. that is quite nice....I'll get one of those for w/e I get. Because the R33 looks good on the altima/bluebird too

JUST LOOK at that R33 S14. I think nissan meant to put tha R33 lip on it but forgot you know...it flows so well

[mkory]

I always kinda liked the look of an s14 coupe with silvia front, and an r33 bumper. there's some good pics of one on McKinney Motorsports's site.

[MAXIMUS Nismo]

I've got a constant hard on for skylines so the R33 gets my vote. Any larger pics available?

I only found a few different pics of these kits, and the ones that were bigger were bad quality. There's a junkload of companies that make an r33 type kit (dia-mondgroup, GTP, VIS I think) not too sure who all makes the 270r kit (found one on MVP motorsports, it says its Erebuni style 231, but the one on their site doesnt look the same).

If you're searching on your own, I'd say to obviously look for r33 style kit for that one, but when searching for the 270r kit do a search for "edge", "nismo", or "techno". These seem to be some pretty popular names for that style.

Keep those comments comeing.

Actually, MarkEmark has one on his car, you can see it in his sig too. I think his is real though.

[HashiriyaS14]

Holy crap that 270r kit is teh hawt....

Officially the best looking Zenki I've ever seen, making me wish I had a Zenki now, lol.

[mkory]

If you really love it... I'll trade ya. lol. I love Koukis.

[HashiriyaS14]

haha, fine, I'll trade you front ends on the condition that:

You paint yours silver mossYou buy me that 270R kitYou paint the kit Silver Moss.

Then you can have my front end, lol.

[mkory]

Dang, I wish someone were willing to trade me a body kit and front end, just for my front end... Life would be sweet.

[accel junky]

R33 front, 270r sides, 270r rear. That'd do it.

[mkory]

MMM... sounds nice. Why do they both have to be so good looking?

[RBpoweredSileighty]

that white s14 with the r33 front bumper looks real sweet.

[Accord-240sx]

R33 all the way!

[ForsakenTH]

get the NISMO sides and rear and the R33 front..thats what im thinking of....import fan sells them for real cheep...http://www.importfan.com

[hannibal]

I dont know if the Kouki R33 bumpers are different but I like the R33 look with the lights in the vents instead of in the bumpers.

Compare...to

[mkory]

The reason I didn't post the importfan kit's pic was because I'm not too crazy about the two holes side by side like that. The one on the bottom looks like a VIS racing kit. I posted the one I did is because I want to screw with wiring as little as possible, and with that kit you re-use your turn signals and sidemarkers.

VIS racing makes both kinds of kits, you can see them here.

http://www.visracing.com/catal...e0727

On their site the Omega is the r33 kit and the Techno R is the 270r kit.

Keep 'em coming.

[hannibal]

I think the lights in the bumpers kinda kill the R33 look. I mean, R33's dont have lights in the bumper...

[mkory]

I kind of like the look of the signal lights replacing the bumper vents. Sure, its not exactly like an r33 bumper, but it definately looks better than having the signal lights right beside the vents.

[ForsakenTH]

ill give you that...it looks better

[PantherRacer]

Those other R33 Bumpers do not compare to the first one...that is perfect! it's... just ...so... GOOD

[mkory]

I really do love the first r33 bumper too. It took me forever to find it. Has anyone ever heard of Dia-Mondgroup?

Then again, the 270r kicks *** too.

[Matthew]

The sideskirts on the r33 would like something that would come out of my anus. If you're going to put on a body kit that looks that ugly, why not just get it over and buy a honda?The 270r kit isn't as bad...but i would just go with 97-98 side skirts personally.

[mkory]

Wow... why does everybody hate those side skirts so much? Personally I don't think they're all that bad looking... maybe a little thick at the top, thats about it. Both skirts have vents in them behind the door, so what is it that is turning everybody against the r33 skirts?

[PantherRacer]

the top of the Sideskirts is what they don't like they stick out a bit much but if you molded it it would flow.

[mkory]

The one thing I've never liked about sideskirts is that the body line they create never goes through the door. Has anyone ever seen a panel that you put on your door to complete this line?

[mkory]

bump ^^^

how about those door panels to match the sideskirts.

[MarkEmark]

thats the 270r kit above, and here's the r33 kit

You don't have an R33, so why pretend? No reason to be ashamed of owning an S14 Zenki. In the picture of the R33 kit you showed, the bumper makes the front end look fat and not very aggressive...and the side skirts are very ugly as well. I remember looking at that same body kit on ebay....and calling the company and asking about fitment and I think I remember them saying it literally goes OVER the old existing bumper cover....so you have two bumpers?!? That could be wrong but that's what the (unknowledgeable) "sales person" told me on the phone...

I say stick with the 270 r kit, and stay true to zenki roots. Of course, I'm partial to the look of it, but I think it really complements the zenki look.

[574-240sx]

I like the 270R kit, it looks alot cleaner. I'm not a big fan of any of those side skirts.
