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 :(

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
