Looks unreal mate

[Adz2332]

Thanks mate!

Im even thinking blue nuts as the valve stems on my work rims are blue... unsure yet! Are the rear pods just the standard Vspec ones?? Im looking for a set and they look great on yours....

Also R32_GODZILLA where do you get the border ducts from mate??

[Spunky Munky]

Great stance Kevin. Bet it looks angry in the rear view mirror!

Yeah it seems as though one should buy all the mods they want up front (or as soon as possible) so you can enjoy them for as long as possible... doing it up over time is more realistic but it seems as though as fate would have it you end up having to sell just shortly after doing one big mod or another.

Yeah that's the thing. Most people even spend so much money modifying their car but never get it right. I have spent a lot of money and time on modifying my car and now it's time to let it all go. I wish I can keep but but with a company car, a young family with kids - I hardly get the time to drive it anymore and keep it in the garage and maintaining it is just too costly.

Hi buddy, yeah definitely get genuine Work blue nuts to watch your rims always a good choice but don't forget the valve stems or it won't look good. I bought a set of genuine Rays valve stems and nuts and gotta say they look much better than other types.

The rear pods are actually Top-Secret style ones. I don't like the standard VSPEC ones so went for Top-Secret items.

Re: Border ducts - you mean the same ones on my front bar's lip? It's a standard series 3 lip that comes with the ducts. Series 3 GTR front bars (like mine and R32_Godzillas) are the best looking for a R33 GTR in my opinion.

ewwwwww. angled exhaust just doesnt look good on a 33 imo

That's what I thought too...and yes, up close it doesn't look that flash but from a distance...it actually suits the car heaps...also my exhaust is no toothpick, it's a 3 inch Kakimoto turbo-back exhaust so it looks definitely. Not for everyone of course.

I got a few PM's from guys wanting to know what bodykit I have on my GTR. Ok so here is the combo:

- Front Bar: genuine series 3 GTR front bar with Nismo N1 front nostrils/ducts and original series 3 lip and ducts

- Sideskirts: Do-Luck style replicas as it brings out the R33 stance more I'm my opinion

- Rear Bar: stock GTR bar with Top-Secret style rear pods

- Wing: Stock GTR wing with genuine GTR end-cap insert plates

Hope that heaps

Kev

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Also R32_GODZILLA where do you get the border ducts from mate??

I bought my 'copy' ducts from eBay - Originals are very expensive to me. They're a bit of a pain to install - They're not a 100% fit. You will need to cut small sections of the bar and rivet to keep in place. Here's a link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nissan-Skyline-R33-GTR-Border-Style-Front-Bumper-Air-Duct-Intake-Cooler-Guide-/270948325192?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3f15c75748&vxp=mtr

Otherwise just type in R33 GT-R duct into eBay and a few come up - They all range around the same make/price.

Hmm my genuine border ducts were a perfect fit around the shape of the bumper, could of used double sided tape to hold them on if i realy wanted to, but used screws just in case.

u get exactly what u pay for. border ducts were only about $480 delivered to my door

got anymore pics, looks real mint

[R32_GODZILLA]

Spot on Chris - You get what you pay for and I took the risk for a mate to test fit on my car. At the time I couldn't justify spending that amount.

For half the price you can make do with the copies and achieve the exact same look, but you'll need patience with the DIY involved. You may also need a hand fitting them. If not, by what Chris is saying, the originals may be a better option for some.

ML73ZR, I just took a quick couple of snaps as I only just fitted the lip. I'll try get some more soon, weather permitting.

Cheers.

Cheers guys!

If anyone hears or sees a genuine r33 Gtr bumper for sale plz let me kno.

As I'm keen to add some n1 vents and the ducts but dont want to cut up my standard item.

Won't need the lip

[pistol-pete]

all gtr front bars are the same. n1 vents were an option. series 3s had the larger lower lip

the "ducts" on r32-godzilla's car are aftermarket additions made by Border (although his are copies)

you have to cut the bumper to fit the ducts, the ducts are larger than the standard indicator holes.

when i said perfect fit for mine i mean that the shape of the ducts perfectly matched the shape of the genuine bumper as in no gaps around the edges.

Correct. I thought you were talking about how flush they sit - Mine lined up perfectly with the shape of the edges as well. Only problem was the duct wasn't prefectly moulded to the curvature of the bar - I has to press against the duct before riveting to make sure it hugged without any protrusions.

[Adz2332]

Ah ok yer.

I just want to keep a standard bumper to go back to original if I need to.

And I want to add those ducts, n1 vents and some canards to another bumper. But I'm unable to find one at the mo

[Hadouken]
