Both VSpec I's and II's have BBS 17x8 rims with 225/50R17 and 245/45ZR17 Bridgestone Potenza rubber respectively. I don't have pics hosted, but IIRC they're white 20 spoke rims. Hope that helps

Nice dude, very clean and tough

Another daily driven GT-R here as well

Where abouts are you getting it done? I'm looking at a surface respray for my car soon, including getting some minor dents taken out. Looks real nice by the way

I'm having the same problem at the moment with my R32 GT-R. After taking the door panel off I've figured its the power window amplifier that's stuffed. It's the little black box bolted onto the door with 2 screws. It makes a click everytime I flick the switch. With the door apart and me fiddling with it, I can make the window work, but everytime I start to put the door back together and test it, it decides not to work again. Has anyone fixed a power window amplifier? Or should it just be replaced. If so where could I source one and how much $$$? Thanks

Sorry to hear of the bad news. Hope Drew pulls up OK and my thoughts are with the friends and families of all involved

Did everyone else miss that bit? Hahaha

Spotted TWO R33 GT-Rs today! Blue one on Frederick Rd with white 5 spoke rims, and a black one turning out of West Lakes Mall, with what looked like bronze TE-37s. NICE

I'm keen. Can I get a PM too.

Apex'i used to make CAI boxes for these, but they have been discontinued as far as I'm aware. Looks like its a custom job now! Thanks, added

Ohsnap there I am haha

One of the first modifications done to a stock car these days apart from exhaust and rims, are pod filters. This is my first mod I have done to my fairly stock GT-R, and as such, thought I would write up my first tutorial. After buying this kit for my GT-R, I found out that the entire manual is in Japanese. I searched all over the net for a tutorial on how to install it, but found nothing. As it turns out, it was fairly simple, but thought I would write something up for anyone who was in the same position as me Item - Apex'i Power Intake (Apex'i #507-N001) Time taken - 1-2 hrs (less after reading this ) Tools - Socket set, flat head screw driver, 10 ml spanner. Ok. This is what you got with a stock GT-R. First off, unclip all the clips holding the top of the airbox to the bottom of the airbox. There are four to undo. Next, you have to unbolt the top AFM from the side of the airbox. Use a 10ml socket on these. Here you can see the first AFM unbolted. The yellow arrow shows where the second AFM is. Underneath the airbox. I found out it was damn near impossible to get to the second AFM with anything. Here's the trick. Get the longest flat head screwdriver you can find, and stick it under that big pipe, as the arrow shows. You have to undo the clamp that holds the second AFM to the rubber intake pipe. Also unplug the plug on the side. (Pretend the top of the airbox is still on at this point ) After that fiddly bit, you should be able to grab the top of the airbox, give it a fair wiggle, and it should come out, with second AFM still attatched. At this point, undo the clamp and plug on the first AFM and remove as well. Be careful not to lose the O-rings off the AFMs! (thanks saliya) Next, remove the air filter and undo these three bolts - and remove the bottom of the airbox. Too easy! Now you're left with this - Now comes the fun part! Using the diagram in your installation manual - Assemble the first pod, the one that sits closest to your headlight. Do the bolts that join the AFM and the metal flange up tightly, but finger tighten the rest, as they need to be adjusted in the car. You will find you will need to use a spanner on some of the bolts, as a socket would foul against the metal flange, so tiny turns with a spanner are in order! Also, the metal is quite soft, so be careful not to mark it too much. Drop the whole thing in, and do up the two bolts that hold it to the chassis. You should be looking at this - Now put together the other pod. Be careful, the diagram is incorrect for brace number 7. It should bolt onto the metal flange on the OPPOSITE hole to the brace that holds the two pods together, NOT the next one over, as shown. That is, unless my number 7 brace was bent wrong, but I found it lined up with the hole on the chassis much better if I ignored the diagram. Drop it into place. Put all the screws in the right places, as according to the diagram. Finger tighten everything, make sure all the black braces are in the right spots. Once everything is lined up and in place, tighten everything up. Don't forget the metal clamps that hold the AFMs to the rubber intake pipes, and clip their plugs back in too. And voila! Now time for a CAI box! Hope this was helpful! :PBJ:

Wow old thread revival... Been and gone my friend... was a good cruise tho

Hey everyone who's going on the MEGACRUISE happening this Sunday the 9th of April? Sposed to be a few hundred cars, all raising money for Youth Suicide Prevention. I think there will be media coverage... Nice run through the hills and a show n shine and BBQ afterwards! I'll be there if the weathers nice

Saw what I think was an R33 front with R32 back turning onto Delfin Island West Lakes this arvo about 4 20pm? Sky blue paint with black (vented?) bonnet? Only caught a quick look at it, anyone know this car?

Holy crap that's AWESOME

Nice. The latest issue of HPI has a 33 GT-R with one of those units in it. Pretty sweet.

Exhaust Technology. One of the best known exhaust shops in Adelaide. www.exhausttechnology.com 253 Goodwood Rd Kings Park.

I brought the GT-R over here from Sydney using AutoTrans. No hassles at all, car wasn't damaged and was quite quick. The depot is at Dry Creek. Very happy with their service.

I'm not sure of a place that do them, but I know that it's a fairly simple job to do if you don't mind getting your hands dirty A few guys on here have done them, I think there may even be a tutorial on it on this site somewhere... Braking section or FAQ DIY perhaps...

Wow, thats some good work right there! Definitely give me the heads up next time you go out! Should get some of the R34 eh?

I should get the GT-R on the dyno and see what a stock one puts out at the wheels... plus its pretty old, I'd imagine not as much as I'd hope Where'd you get it done mate? Do they have a 4wd dyno there?

Ohsnap that ones even better!

Yeah I'm getting "The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process."

Hey mate that was me. Sweet looking 31 you got there, I'm not too much of a fan of them but yours looked tough. And since I know its got GT-R running gear in it now, it's even better Next time I'll have to check it out Oh yeah and by the way, to the guy that was asking me about importing cars from Japan at the footy oval, the website is www.mytrading.org.
