Gb: R33 Gts-t And Gtr And R34 Gtt Radiator Guides


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

The drawings of the samples had some glitches which is why they wont be ready until tomorrow at 10am.

I'll bend them tomorrow before our Committee meeting in Melbourne and hopefully I can trial fit them to Al's R33 GTS-T and then I'll hunt down an R33 GTR to fit it too as well.

Once I'm happy, I'll ask for the cash.

I'm also making up a bunch of sheetmetal boxes for the guides so they wont be damaged in transit and so that I can send them via the Post and not TNT, hopefully I can save you all some money that way, but I'm not sure yet.

Oo..oks..np..I'm just worried I got missed out of this group buy since noe msg...

but's it's all good..take your time Bass~~

thanks

I have just picked up the blanks and I'll be bending them tonight and playing with them.

Should have a go ahead within the next few days.

Hey guys.

well, I picked up the samples today, and although they are the wrong thickness (2.0mm insted of 1.0mm) they are good enought to become my hacks for design work.

I have bent them up according to my drawings so tonight and Saturday (at the SAU VIC BBQ) I will be testing them on cars.

Once that's done, I'll be finalising this group buy.

Thanks for your patience.

Note, in that picture you can see that the bends are quite a large radius which will be remedied when I use the 1.0mm steel insted of the 2.0mm that this is.

They look pretty damn good.. even with the large radius bends. Can't wait to see how they fit on the cars. Take plenty of pics! :rolleyes:

hey Bass - if the top radiator hood in the pic you took is the R34GTT one, you have 'bent' it inside out - the hood catch needs to be slightly to the right of the catch hole - not the left.

And for everyone else's info, I bought mine from Bass's last group buy around 6 months ago and the product is bloody brilliant, and worth well more than the small fee he is charging for them! He was a great guy to deal with too. Buy, buy, buy!!

I think I paid about $100 for it. Cheapest (and probably the best looking) mod I have done to the 34 :D

Yep, about $80 plus postage.

The one on the top is the R33 GTS-T

The one on the bottom is the R33 GTR

But hey, looking at is now, it sure does look like I've bend them the wrong way doesn't it. What a nuff nuff I am!!!!

Lucky, I can bend them back cos the samples are so damn think!!!

Bass,

wondering if you can get other colour finish..those cyan colour looking..

don't mind paying a bit extra if you can get them in that colour..

thanks

    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
    • Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
    • Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.
