Looks awesome mate, congrats.

I just picked up a 33 GTR as well so I know the fun you're having, haha. Yours looks similar to mine too, white with a white lip etc.

How do you find the 33 vs the 34 driving wise? 34 much better?

Awesome, lets see a pic. I'm ditching the white lip as I have a factory series 3 lip on it's way from Japan which will be standard black. I also have series 3 xenons sitting in my bedroom waiting to fit up when I get a chance too.

33 GTR is a great drive and feels very much the same as my 34 GTR did. I chuck it around and the chassis does it's thing in roughly the same way. When my 34 was stock it was faster than my standard 33 GTR though but 34 GTR's are running more boost standard. With an exhaust my 34 ran 1.09 bar with the factory setup. My 33 still has standard turbos and standard restrictor in place so it's running less boost and so it doesn't have the same straight line feeling.

I guess the lack of the active rear diff in my non-vspec 33 makes the rear a little more fun putting the power down around tight turns but apart from that it feels very much the same. Suprisingly similar in my opinion.

Anyway i'm keen for a 33 GTR cruise...

How much did you get the lip for? I've looked around and that shits expensive!! Good to hear it feels similar to the R34, at least I know i'm not missing out on too much driving the "older" model :)

A couple of pictures of mine, I need to get out and take some day light ones. The wheels really look better in real life than photos. I love taking photos and I bought a hard car to shoot!! lol (white car, black rims)

Cruise sounds like great fun :(

    • Me coming to check the thread to see if my manual boost controller was set up correct......  
    • Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
    • These things happen And I believe "we, the people, who modify stuff, and actually use it, cannot have nice things" It's just a shame that it happened so soon after paint  I still win the award for quickly destroying newly painted panels I think, as my car came back from the paint shop all nice and shiny, until about 4 hours later when the boot was destroyed by a wayward locker that was blown around by the wind.... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and poorer.....dooh
    • This. And also, the rotor thickness is constrained by the calipers. Cannot be much thicker, if at all. Cannot be much thinner, if at all. New rotors are....fairly cheap. Turbo calipers can still be picked up for sensible money. Arguably, the best thing is to get R32 calipers and put them on mount spacers on 324mm discs. That's about the cheapest and easiest way to get quite large brakes that are essentially bolt on. And that's despite maintaining for years that the R32 calipers are not the best choice because they seem to be more flexy and creaky than the others. If you were prepared to put up with nasty little NA sliding calipers, these will still seem like Brembos by comparison.
