R33 Gtr Front Guards On Gtst


Recommended Posts

Need help guys.. about to buy gtr front guards for my GTST, just wondering if it will bolt up with the standard GTST bonnet.

Ive compared the 2 cars side by side and can't really notice anything too different about it.

Any help would be apprecaited.

I've done this on my car. Don't bother. The R33 GTR bonnet is longer and higher. It needs to be changed. Even the headlights, which look identical, are different. The GTR headlights have spacers to push them out further forward. Here is a list of items which need to be changed. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't need to change headlights or that you dont need the front guards raisers. Everything needs to be changed. It ends up a VERY expensive exercise. Trust me I know...

GTR Bonnet.

GTR Bonnet Hinges.

GTR Bonnet Latch.

GTR Guards.

GTR Guard Raisers (Piece of metal which sits above front aprons to raise the guards.

GTR Headlights.

GTR Front Bar.

I think the R33 is the worst model to do the GTR front on as you need headlights and the raisers in addition to all the other crap. From memory on the R32 and R34 you don't need the guard raisers or headlights.

Here are some pics off my phone...

The front has been resprayed black (looks mint). But the rest of the body could use a spray. I can't really be bothered with the car anymore. Will probably be up for sale soon. It's a Manual Turbo. Probably looking at around 12.5k if anyone is interested.

    • I know there's been no posts for 3 years, but figured it wasn't worth starting a new thread for my question. The nice Japanese lady in my V36 occasionally/randomly speaks to me whilst I'm driving.  Of course my Japanese is very rusty, I'm guessing it's to do with the Nav system? Anyone have knowledge on this?
    • there are probably many ways to do it for my bosch motorsport abs we used a r33 gtst abs front knuckle and modified the rear knuckle to allow sensor to sit and read understand time, effort and $$ but reading from anywhere else  you get diff chatter etc where you lose 30% ish in signal clarity compared to the above
    • Little more work!  Did some body work on the rear wheel arches and since the paint was a cheap spray job before figured I’d do something to tide me over until I wrap the car.    Colour might not be everyone’s choice but I like it and it’s only temporary, just hate having primer from the wheel arches standing out.    Keeping an eye out for a decent set of wheels to throw on now. Wheels and tires on the car are junk
    • Its likely to be 70% road 30% track usage, track usage will increase if anything. Decided not to fit it as I cant be arsed changing the bushes on my LCAs again 🤣 I did get the below back from GKTech though so they should work together     The anti-squat kit and roll center adjusters work independently since they change the rear lower control arm's angle in different ways. The anti-squat kit adjusts the angle from front to back, which impacts anti-squat values. Roll center adjusters change the angle side to side, mainly to correct geometry on cars that are significantly lowered. They might affect each other a tiny bit, but overall, you can think of them as separate.
    • What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction.
