Just thought I'd make a quick post about my new baby, been talking about it on here but haven't posted pics. These aren't great, will get some nice sunshine ones soon but this gives you an idea.

Allow me to introduce my 1996 Series II R33 GTR V-Spec in Midnight Purple!

It's got various mods but the specifics will remain undisclosed as I'm not into blurting it all out on a public forum. I've come from a Series II GTS25T with a Turbo back exhaust to this so it's a fair step up. Only had the last one, some of you may remember it - Bright Red with Deep Dish Impuls, for a bit over a year but this was up for sale and I couldn't say no.

Hope you all like!

I was told that you could option them on Series II, they're genuine Nissan items is all I can tell you and they look sexy ^_^

Are they straight bolt on? I guess the S2 R33 bonnet is different shape to that of a GTR hence why you cant fit projectors onto R33 S2. I think S3 and S1 and S2 bonnet shape is identical?

They couldn't look any better in my opinion, they're direct bolt in's nothing has been modified that I can see around the lights. AFAIK all GTR's have the same bonnet/light shapes.

Just need some blue parkers to match, the standard ones clash horribly with the Xenons :rant:

Hah, yeah I'm a bit intrigued myself actually but at the same time don't really wanna play around for risk of damaging them - have read about people changing a turbo seal and then having one let go 0_0

Side Bar: WTF is with your avatar... is that f#$king Power Rangers? Yes I bloody watched it as a kid =D

Mmmm,

The target would be 280-300rwkw's and have it be as streetable as possible. I'm keen on an oil relocation kit as well, a vented bonnet would be nice for engine bay temps (not rice). Some 18's would be nice too but I kind of like the Volk LE37's it has on it, shame they're 17's though. For now just enjoy it =D

Kushil - My Series II only had POD (enclosed, cold air feed and heat shielding foam) Turbo back exhaust and the factory dual stage boost bypassed so it would run 7psi all the time. At a guess, the car would've made 140-145rwkw's? It had Bilstien Shocks, King Springs, 265 rubber (rears 235 front) and a strut brace so it was fun to drive having come from an NA FWD Celica. The R makes my Series II feel like a stock NA silvia. The power and handling is not comparable. I friend of mine who drives a fairly modded 185awkw WRX explained that he didn't want to race me on the strip or track after going for a ride in it.

I was under the impression that moving into a GTR would just be a heavier, slightly better handling and more powerful Skyline but the difference between the two cars is much bigger than that. Drive one and you'll understand better, good luck on your purchase!

NB: To be fair, the R has more mods than my last car by the way.
