Midnight Purple 1995 R33 GTR V-Spec I bought the car over from Adelaide back in june-july 2009 and then sold it to a friend in november, but then bought it back off him 2 months ago as he couldnt afford to fix the hail damage that it inflicted the car nor his repayments on his loan... soo i couldnt resist his offer when he asked me if i wanted it back specs/mods as follows Engine: Unopened RB26DETT Twin Garrett GT2860R-7 ball bearing turbo’s TOMEI s/s dump pipes Do-Luck 3.5-inch s/s exhaust from dump pipes all the way to the rear.

RB25PWR Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 To be honest I think the rims are a complete mis match... and holyyyy tyre stretch? I hate to jump right in there with a negative, apart from the rims the car looks mint, perhaps lower it a tiny bit more. GL with the tune!

snozzle Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) haha those first set of pics show the tyres that came with the wheels when i bought them, they were 225 40's - took them off within a week as i was scared the tyre was going to pop off... WHICH IT DID luckily it happened on a cold night when i parked my car and not while i was driving..... i now have 245 40's on them and it seems to be perfect, although the front wheels rub on full lock with is annoying but i guess i have to put up with it lol rims are 18 x 10 -15 on the front and -2 on the rears i originally had the -15's on the rear and they stuck out ALOT and the -2's on the front just sat flush so i just swapped them over and now they have averaged out - i guess the front gaurds on the 33gtr are bigger than the rears haha yeah im planning on lowering the fronts some more but my coilover is at its lowest.... if i want to lower it anymore i need to change the springs Edited January 23, 2011 by snozzle Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326863-my-r33-gtr/#findComment-5638095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, your orange ones look great. I might change mine later down the track. I'm first thinking about replacing my Rear Wing Blade, bonnet lip, and Front Bar Slots with the N1 Carbon Fiber Equivalents. Nengun are selling a Car Shop F1 Carbon (Weave) Bonnet Lip, but it is $245.00. Just Jap Racing sell the N1 lip for $195.00. I don't know if the Nengun item is better quality or not though. I will have to ask a few questions. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/326863-my-r33-gtr/#findComment-5641603 Share on other sites More sharing options...
