Fixing a R33 early vspec GT-R I picked up its missing the bumper in the front and some other parts.

Looking for the following items

Front:

bumper beam

Lower late model lip

Late model HID XENON headlights

Turn signals with grills

Intercooler front grill

also i need the side skirt that attaches to the driver fender.

so Im looking for the front end like this.

im in the states so you can text me via whats app 818-481-5633

Getting that lower lip will be like getting blood from a stone, basically you ring nissan and pay 1200aud for a new one or you don't get one cause no one lets them go and basically the head lights are the same issue.

If you grab the early stuff it can be had cheaper and be easier to find

Hi Victor and welcome!

Just an aside, how old do cars have to be for one to legally own a GT-R in your state of California?

We notice that R32 GT-Rs are being shipped to Canada and USA now - with more talk about them in NAGTROC.

Have you tried NAGTROC for parts?

Legal import to USA is 25 years old, cant title/register in California unless the car goes through an Reg Importer in the usa and that will cost about $15,000 usd. and if they want to take on the job as there are only 2 Reg importers in the USA who work on these cars with the Federal issues, the laws and paperwork. I'm sure sean morris will chime in here.Canada there is talk with the insurance lobby that wants to see imported RHD cars end, as there is a valuation issue on them as they are not officially sold there. Nagtroc is a community of people who are coming over from other brands and really have not to much idea on Nissan history and what parts came from where, there is only a handful of people on there and were talking less than 30 people on there who know, so I figured i'd post on here and see what sort response would come from it :).

as far as importing : cars have to be 25 years or older and do not import on the year make sure its +1 year old of the 25 rule.

My R33 is legally imported and with full documentation but its not a process I will be repeating "AGAIN"

If you guys would like to have an American Subforum here on SAU, PM Prank or Nismoid and they can decide if it should be set up. We have a NZ Subforum as you can see if you scroll down.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
