Folks,

I have a Silver R33 S1 GTS-t - Its got an M-Spec (i think) kit on it (Higher than stock rear spoiler, Meshed front bar, Side skirts) Also have some 17' wheels - they are nice, but nothing too fancy. It's already had the suspension lowered.

I'm looking to make the car look a little more Unique so I've been tossing up ideas - Wanting to know what you guys though would do the job (without spending zillions of dollars on it) - Oh and not too ricey OK.

What should I do ??

* New Front Bar ?? (may not go with skirts & rear wing tho)

* Swap wheels ?? (18's or 19"s - too many concerns here - getting them nicked, scratched, and not the best for riding around town on considering my rock hard TEIN)

* Wild rear wing ?? (Would that look nice on Silver ?? Looks good on White, Black and Yellow)

* Eyelids ??

* Thought about C/F bonnet, but not good on Silver

* Full re-spray in wild colour (too expensive)

* Turn into a convertible (joke)

* Air Brush naked women on bonnet (another joke)

* Trade in on Silvia/180 (bad joke) :P

Anyone got any ideas ?? I'm Farked in the creative/styling depatment.

Thanks

i reckon you should get a new front bar, wing and 18's;)

I've only really seen C/F bonnets on White & Yellow cars - I guess cause they contrast so much. With Silver, I thought the colours would be close, so there wouldn't much to see.

Anyone got pics of a silver sky with C/F bonnet and/or Wild rear wing ?? OR for that matter any Silver Line that is wild looking ??

That 2nd pic is a $33,000.00 Kakimoto body kit (No joke) :P

I got the same car as you brendanf same colour year and all.

Iv been thinking about getting a series 2 conversion done to the front with a standard series 2 front bar with the nismo chin spoiler.

All i can say is, F**Kin HOT!

Ask Robo to send some pic's of his car to you and know will know wat i mean,

Its got the same sideskirts and wing as you but his got the nismo chin spoiler and that thing looks hot,

In m opinon thats all you need body wise,

Then i would invest in some DEEP DISH rims so you can run Higher profile tires without dwarfing the rims.

Bigger profile good, bigger profile on non deep dish rims (joke) :)

Dun get the T wing man, iv seen some on r33 and blardy RICE! hard!!

thats my 2c,

If i can get a pic of ROBO's car i will post it here for you all to see..

Just one mean looking gtst :0

i think the 1st GT-R looks the best!!! Brendanf CF bonnets look good on any colour really just depends on how u want to make the car look. I will hopefully be looking for a frontbar in the near future but i where do u get good quality ones from that dont chip and wobble around as u drive? how much they cost?

Croat try body form,

There kits are by far the best i have seen. So sturdy and strong,

ehhehe, don't goto jet *****, (wait thats too obvious) ***speed

thats beta,

They will just hack @ your reinforcement bar and hold your bar up with 2 screws and 3 cable ties..

Don't ask...

Merlis silver R33 started life looking like yours, with the addition of a GTR front bar, 400R rear bar, GTR wing and skirts it looks gorgeous.

    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)      
    • Thanks buddy. I thought it was a server storage thing. 馃ぃ
    • Perfect! Thanks for this, both look like great options!
