Ok. The question is i own a 96 S2 GTS-T and i am having a hard time finding a Wind deflector plate for my model as most major manufacturer only made it for the S1 GTS-T and GT-R.

Example;

BNCR33 TFPBCNR3303 For earlier model 1/95-12/98

BNCR33 TFPBCNR33M03 For later model 1/95-12/98

Now I own a S2 GTS-T, if i buy the BNCR33 Later model version TFPBCNR33M03, can i fit it on my R33 with slight modification as the only main difference between the GTS and GT-R is the grill. In other words, i may need to cut a bit from the grill art to make it fit, can i get a confirmation on this.

mate your asking a lot of questions lately which is good, but rather than product numbers from nengun or whatever you have given us, you would get a lot more responses if you actually showed a pic or explained what you were talking about.

I for one am happy to help, but cbf looking up something for you.

This is what i am talking about, it has many names like wind diversion plate, wind deflection plate or whatever it is called. lol. Reason i asked here is that i got the answer from the supplier that it WILL NOT fit a GTS-T S2. I am thinking, why won't it as BNCR33 and ECR33 share the same chasis except for the grill, the front area should be identical. So the final question is, can this be modded a bit to fit ECR33 S2.

Btw i won't ask questions if it's a direct fit part. lol but i do take chances as well like the M35 Nismo muffler on my R33. I bought it without knowing will it fit my car or not so i do gamble on parts if i can't get a definate answer here.

I maybe asking alot of questions but i am solving some as well :/

from my knowledge it wont fit hence why theres a model for the gtst and gtr. different placement of bonet latch maybe or even adaptation to fit snug with gtr grill and lights.

so you've bought it already. why dont you just test fit and see where it doesnt match. anything can be modified to fit. you will get less for it when selling it off cause its been choped.

Nope, i haven't bought it yet, hence i'm asking around here for some advise first :/

From what i searched, ARC doesn't make one for any R33 GTS-T, Garage Defend only makes it for the R33 GTS-T S1. Greddy doesn't have it for the R33 S2 as well.

    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself 
    • I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
