I used to call them kick plates, but since then I've been told they're known as scuff plates; door sills etc etc etc.

Just got a note from the guy; R33GTST ones may be possible (as in made from scratch) but will require something like 20sets to be moved in the first order.

Nope... just source yourself some REALLY strong double sided tape/adhesive.

Else you could do what they have done on the R32GTRs and have a few holes drilled - then run 2 studs into the lip in line with these holes so it holds it in place - still use the tape though.

UPDATE: Sprayer now has my Bonnet Lip, Fuel Lid and Paint Code ;)

Just to add to the bonnett lip. you really should run screws through with the adhesive tape. reason why, is you will try and llift your bonnett by the lip, and eveny if you dont, your mechanic will.

I just drilled two holes through the bonnett where the lip sits, dry mount the lip, mark the place you put the holes and drill them in the lip when its off the bonnett.

Then just screw the bonnett lip on.

Ok; finally got a chance to put the bonnet lip on... well kinda; it was mock fitted tonight just because n15m0 wouldn't stop bugging me :)

Need to go away now and plan a neat installation without ruining the bonnet :)

Cheers heaps to HSR for the paint job; looks great!

Yeah it was; just held on by two strips of double sided tape... I'm still deciding how this is going to be fastened into place for good.

I think I did hear it peel a bit as I was taking the photos; took it off quick smart before it fell onto the ground.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
