SWEET I have type car lol

I have a question about the front bar on the series II, the drivers side has a stone tray under the front bar but my passengers side doesn't have one. Is it suposed to? I've seen them on the series I

reason I ask is my car got crashed into by a 19 year old tool in his parents commy, the front bar was replaced and the drivers stone tray. The repairer is trying to find a passengers side stone tray. I'm busting his balls on this I just hope i'm right :)

Yep Adam thats the bit I'm talking about, I know it as a stone tray or as an inner guard. It mounts to the underside of the front bumper. There is one on the drivers side of my car but since the accident trying to get one for the passengers side under the stock cooler is beginning to become problematic.

My question is does anybody else with an R33 GTS-T Series 2 have a black plastic part under the standard side mounted intercooler or is there no trim there at all. I have seen this black plastic part on an R33 GTS-T Series 1 my question refers to the Series 2, 1997 model.

Any help or info would be great, thanks :thumbsup:

I have an s2 33t with active lsd.

mine originally came with the plastic covers on both sides. Basically they were pis poorly designed, prevented airflow through the wheel arch and rubbed on the stock tyres when full lock and you go over a bump. They 'wear' pretty quickly if you need to o this a couple of times. Wider tyres and eventually they just wear through near the lip and break off. I still have them somewhere after the wear started i took them off.

Most people take them of to improve airflow around the stock ic anyways. The only purpose is to prevent dirt etc from getting into the wheel arches painted metal. rust preventative basically. the plastic undertray / diffuser under the engine is still in place on my car. On a side note as bad as the smic was on my 33 with heat soak and restriction it was actually noticably worse when the tray was on as compared to it being taken off. the front mount again massive difference and the exhuast again another differnce but alll going of topic.

basically the covers are just plastic and since mine were pretty new when I got the car (replaced obviously) you can source them still.

what was this spec g? neer heard of it or read about it ?

wonder how much an apexi 4 door 33r cost these days eh ?

thanks for that dreamer :)

just a little note, removing the stone trays as i call them has been known to direct air flow downward out of the front bumper and away from the radiator or fmic...

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
