Ok guys, long time no see, but I'm at wits end.

I'm gunning down a front spoiler for an R33 GTS-T S1 1993.

You know the standard 'M' type? (Not the lip one, the full spoiler) I'm even willing to consider an aftermarket option but I really would like the same again. (On this note too, what IS a good kit? They all look shit to me =P).

I have had discussions with A1 Nissan Wrecking, AA Car Parts in Boondall, Just Jap don't import it and carry horrid kits.

Everyone have said that they have no idea where I would find one.

The best lead I have gotten so far was Village Motors in Petrie who have given me a list of things to give to them (build date, VIN etc...) so they can look into it but they don't sound optimistic.

Any help my fellow SAU buddies give me will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks duuuuuudes,

-Kez

You sir, are a f**king sexy man.

Spoke to Village Motors as well, if anyone is interested a new R33 Front Spoiler (S1) is $1500.

f**k.

lol... villiage motors wanted to charge me 1200 for an RB AFM...

you're from the village people if you try and buy anything except for wheel studs through them.

Ahhhh no, not only is that nothing like my style one, I don't have a Top Secret style one =P

I went through JapanAutos like SCR48 suggested. A little over $300 and I have a new front bumper. Titties.

Awesome guy that runs it too, had a good chat =).

Admin, sir, you may lock this topic.

I went over there and had a gander, he was nice enough to let me choose from four different bumpers. The amount of gear he has there, oh my f**king god.

I could spend well over a week in there, just looking at shit to buy. He has like 8/9 halfcuts of various imports just smiling at you when you walk in. He knows his shit and actually is a really top bloke!

I'd reccomend him to anyone. Esp. being at Reddy is a massive bonus, easy to find too!

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
