I'm going to disappoint a few, but i do prefer the SII upgraded appearance, but i have owned my SI for the last 9yrs and never felt the need to "upgrade".

Just stated that one doesn't need a SII :P

My latest achievement: SAU VIC 2009 "Best 33 GTST" and "Best Overall GTST/GTT"

Soon after that: My latest cosmetic modification

heaea, i was just shit stirring. i like sI front end, tho prefer the sII front end.

bugger about the roo, hope it not too much on the wallet.

if i remember correctly the sI seat fabric came straight out of a 70's strip club. that could be a good point? hrm...

very nice nur33 just dunno about the carbon fibre canards at the front

thanks mate there not there for looks they are there for a purpose besides slicing my leg open when i walk past haha!!!!

Nur33 - Looks the goods, and looking at that engine bay I'm assuming she's got some punch.

Those front air ducts where the indicators sit and the Nismo ZTUNE style bonnet are similar styling mods to my car.

While I'm at it might aswell post up mine....

hey um ssxRicho... you fail so hard, do you even know what a skyline is? that supposedly s1 r33, is actually a s14.. lol lol. fail of the day..

dont believe me, have a long stare at it..

now if you want to post a s1 r33 find one with skirts all round and black headlights and maybe a gtr grill to match..

and s1 type m front bar its to die for.. better than the s2 (imo)

now for the s2, how can you possibly like the front indicators and fog lights.. and the way the front bar pokes forwards.. :D

Entirely my opinion, dont care if you own a s2 or not, they can sometimes look nice, but hey, you couldnt even post up a skyline to represent the s1's.. *sheakes head*..

While I'm at it might aswell post up mine....

Wow that looks good. Love the bonnet (and headlights... bastard!!).

Can spot some Alcons behind your front rims as well?

To answer your question, yup mine is almost strictly a track car. Doesn't see much road duty.

LOL, thanks mate...

Yep Alcons all round, and I'm upgrading aswell... :woot:

I know, I've got problems... :ermm:

Thanks for all the comments guys!!!!

Pity I've only driven it three times in the last 12 months... :D

Brockas - Noticed you have Alcons aswell, which model/size are they???

omg i love that s3 gtr! saw it at a show and shine, and by far the best car, and my fav rims too :woot: sooo nice..

last i saw it had balck lip and standard mirrors, you sir, own my dream car :ermm:

Thats correct, got the whole front (bonnet/guards/front bar) resprayed and decided to paint the lip for a change. Fitted the aerocatch bonnet pins aswell.

The front of my car was hammered from 2 years of track days, had to replace the windscreen aswell.

While at the panel beaters got the Ganador mirrors fitted and painted, aswell as the side skirts, rear bar and rear spats.

Picked it up a day before the show'n'shine as shown in the pics above.

I can say I'm very happy with the way it looks lately and dreading taking it back out on the track.... :D

havent posted any pics of mine for a while so will start with my old front bar. Was ugly with cracks.post-45625-1262165174_thumb.jpg

followed by track time at PC09

hey um ssxRicho... you fail so hard, do you even know what a skyline is? that supposedly s1 r33, is actually a s14.. lol lol. fail of the day..

lol i noticed that after i posted it, google thumb nails failed me and of course the forums lock you so you cant change it after a while...

it kinda looks like a s1 33 at 100x100, maybe.... :/

thus the post above with the shit stirring.

either way the s1 s14 front end isnt as nice as the s14a.

damn i posted that in 2009 as well :( no post of the year for 2010 for me, bugger.

JAGR33 is there an insert in the front intake, or is it painted? it looks like the sun it behind the car is most of the pics, but still the intake is sooo

dark. it looks fantastic.

They are carbon fibre ducts made by Border Racing Japan. I painted them matt black as they had heaps of stone chips.

They are functional in the way that my HKS oil cooler sits behind the passenger side duct, I've also cut a square hole out of the guard liner so the air comes in through the duct, passes through the oil cooler and out the back through the hole in the guard liner. Made a heap of difference to oil temps on the track.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
