I saw a GTSt with a GTR kit the other day.

Then I proceeded to see another 15.

Can't improve on perfection :D

In all honesty, I can COMPLETELY understand people who put GTR-style bodykits on their GTS-ts.

My first skyline was a DEAD stock R33 GTS-t Type-M, and it was the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Good performer, but DAAAAAAAAAAMN that bitch was ugly. So I looked for bodykits to try and fix up the looks department a bit, and I quickly realised that at the time, all bodykits available for the GTS-t were fugly beyond belief. The only nice ones were the Trial one (I didn't like their front bar, but the rest of the kit was nice) and the "GTR-style" kit.

I eventually chose a hybrid: GTR Front bar (no badge), 400R side skirts, 400R rear bar and GTR Rear Wing............ A combination that I'm proud to say I thought up myself, and has since been mirrored by many many other GTS-ts that I've seen driving on the roads :D

Here are some pics of my very first skyline. Transformed from a dead stocker.

my car came with a 400r bar and gtr wing and skirts when imported, im gonna change the wing to something smaller one day hopefully, but i agree with merli, the standared gtst kit is just, well, needs improving

I should get a photo of the Renault Clio that parks near my house on the weekend. The one with GT-R badges...

haah i fitted the alarm to that hahahahahaaha i couldnt stop laughing

worse still was the corolla that came the next day - ke70 with a gtr badge blu tacked (!!!!) to the front grill - needless to say it fell off as he drove off.

I now own a GTR badge :D

HMMMM is it sorta like have a r33 GTST and then buying the plates HKS33 is that the same thing or is that an exception

:D bagging my plates when you have HKS33 on a fairy stock Nissan skyline

now that is what i call :Owned:

johnnyr31, it was a couple of months back in the Queenbeyan Woolies car park. Hahah, funny that eh? Me, i was not in a Skyline sadly... :rofl: I'm still saving for mine (not till november). Instead i was in my mum's blue/gold Toyota Echo...lol.

Hey guys i cant help but noticing a lot of u use the words rice to describe the GTR badge imitation thingy....where actually rice is a word that v8 Chev drivers in the USA invented for describing any car that is JAP (the connection Jap and Rice...can it be anymore obvious...like Italian and Pasta) So really wannabe racer boys are not rice....but all of us are rice........keep cool.

Actually.................. no.

The term "rice" evolved from the term "riceboy" which was coined by an American High-school kid who was bored in class and sick to death of all the lame modifications his classmates were doing to their Civics, making them LOOK fast, as opposed to actually making them GO fast.

He started it all with a hand-drawn comic strip called "The Adventures of Rice-Boy and his dog Mugen".

It can still be seen here: http://www.riceboypage.com/

    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
    • Welp, you've got a long list of experiences right there. I'd say you're on the right path.
    • That's correct, suits my requirements a bit better. Sure there are also numpties there, however it's generally a different vibe and more my kind of vibe.
