Word.

I went looking at R33 GTS-t’s yesterday for a mates little brother. First one we looked at was a little strange…

Its condition seemed pretty fair for a 1993 GTS-t.

First thing I noticed…Wow, its got one of those Japaneseeee Air Purifiers on the parcel shelf!

Second thing. A Factory drop down lip under the M-Spec bumper….WTF ? Operated by up/down buttons on the dash board.

This was 100% factory install….

Has anyone seen/know anything about R33GTS-t’s with these options ???

They were both factory options. I've got the drop down lip you're talking about. I think it's proper name is a "GT autospoiler"(?)

it activates automatically when you drive but you can also use it when parked if you have the handbrake up.(probably so you can wash it when you wash your car)

As Poombah said, they're factory options. They're not an adapted R31 system, but it is a native R33 options available when purchasing the car new in Japan.

THere's probably lots of other weird factory options that you would never think of, like raising parking pole on the far side (LH) of the front bumper to aid in parking manouver, I have this on my r33, but it's not working as I'm sure it's been disable due to not meeting ADR requirements during compliance.

hey, just curious about your setup...

do you have a FMIC on your car? my drop down spoiler might have to go if I get an aftermarket frontbar & FMIC

cheers :D

SW20-GT: I believe that R32's came with this option aswell. A guy on these forums with an r32 posted a pic of his when I posted a topic about my drop down spoiler, he called it a GT autospoiler if I remember correctly

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
