Hey fellas,

I've been thinking about a new look for my jet-black R33 GTR. I was thinking of removing all badges and stickers off my car and just keeping it nice and clean.

To be honest, I've been a bit of a 'sticker whore' in recent years, e.g. Tuning shop's stickers on the top of the front windscreen, side windows and rear window plus a few Nismo and HKS stickers etc in a few places (guilty as charged)...plus, on one occasion I even had Nismo side strip decals on the sides of my car too...

However, I think I've had enough of this and like my car to look clean just not too sure if have it badgeless and stickerless is a bit to extreme in pursuit of the JDM racer look. What do you guys think?

CLEAN JDM SPEC (will also remove front/rear GTR badge too:

OR the RACE SPEC (with as much stickers if not more)?

race spec would attract HEAPS of attention.

unless your car is 100% legal itd be nothing but harassment by the boys in blue.

that said i love the race spec look, it'd be good on a car that does occasional track work, but for a street car however, it'd be a little over the top.

clean look it is...

i rekon ditch the spoiler, leave the stock body kit alone, nice low ride height and some simple rims like Te37s in the bottom pic, or Dirfteks. meshies/busy rims look horrid on R33s IMO...

Keep the 2 GTR badges, or at least the rear badge and the 1970's GTR badge on the front (looks beautiful!) then get rid of everything else. And if ou want to go a little further, shave the side GT badges, aerial, rear wiper blade, and anything else thats in the way. Add maybe 1 or 2 club stickers, and you'll be good to go! Like Cam said, through on some nice simple rims (not Drifteks, too heavy and shit. LMGT4 instead) and you'll be laughing!

Word.

yep. As you guys probably already know from another thread of mine, I'm trying to source this 1970's badge. After I decide with what look I will adopt, the next step is to go crazy on performance.

Why the hell would you want to get rid of the GTR badges :)

Just keep it looking clean. A little tiny sticker here or there isn't a sin. But don't do the whole shopping list door thing.

:huh: Damn go all the way and return it to stock *****

I have seen a few jdm racer cars. No badges or stickers. Looks tough as...you guys agree? A gtr is recognizable anywhere. I just debadged my gtr. Took everything off. Thinking of debadging the side gt badges too now.

Hahaha. Did you google that or grab it off some post I've posted sometime ago. Seriously, I love that white GTR look. I wish mine look like that but everyone seems to be against the "wish list" look. Actually there isnt THAT many stickers on the white one too. Anyway still thinking about it but probably wouldnt be doing it. Hahaha

Ive had my 33 with some pretty full on graphics on it and never had any police attention caused by the look of it, this is with vented bonnet after market wheels lowered, , sparco race seat, 3in exhaust (not a quiet one either) all of which are things that can get noticed... Im not exactly low profile driver either, definitely not a sleeper look...

so maybe its something else that is attracting the cops to other modified car drivers...

I reckon go for what you like best...

    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
