I'm not sure of anyone who does a specific kit, but I'm in the process of putting together a kit consisting of BN sports full kit, widened front guards (+30) and wide rear fenders.

Also in the photo section there is a full thread on widebody lines! ;)

Yeah I love the look of them, i know it's not everyone's cup of tea but I love the fatness of them. Mixed with the right ride height and offset and they transform the 33 into a sexy beat. Really gives it a drift look if you ask me.

Have you been looking at fenders yourself?

sorry but +30mm does not equal wide body, just makes it look like a gtr.

if you want wide body on a r33 u either need to track down a wise sports kit (near on impossible) or get custom made.

im sick of people posting up wide body photos when u only have 20 or 30 mm wide guards, you have only entered into the norm of r33 gtr's

Yeah I get what you're saying. I wasn't actually trying to say that +30 is widebody at all, but I could see how it comes across that way. But I guess it's all relative anyway.

^^^^^^^ this is exactly what i mean by wide body, 1st pic is the wise sports kit.

the wide gaurds u are looking at are not realy wider, there is only a small portion of the guard that is actually wider and its mainly just a section around the lip

if you have some cash, go n buy the veilside wide front and rear guards made for r33 gtr's get them put on n get some custom made side skirts, but what ever u do dont get a veilside front bar, rear bar or skirts.

there is a set on ebay atm $560 for front and rear guards

Yeah well sort of... I currently have i think the origin or m sports frp front guards on my gtst and have just installed 18x 9.5+12 advan tcii wheels with 265 tyres...

The wheel and tyres sit in line with the outer edge of the guard which concerns me as the car will be used for circuit racing so i think i require new / wider guards again to gain some clearance... other wise i may just have to get the wheels machined slightly...

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears.

      Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P

      Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information

      What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs....
