what are the differences between r33 gtr and gts25t fronts?


Recommended Posts

I'm getting a skyline gts-t front to put on my 97 240sx. The gtr is quite a bit larger than the 240, so thats out of the question. I've got a deal on a gts-t front (free, yay!) and was debating whether to keep it and put it on my car, or sell it. I'd like to know the differences between the front of the gtr and gts25t, mainly the front fenders. Whats the width of the front of both cars? for comparison. Thanks for any help! :)

GTR has wider guard, therefore, more aggressive look. And they were made in aluminum, so lighter, too.  

Get rid of it, and buy a S15 front! 240 with skyline front looks ugly!!

I think the silvia front is stupid looking on 240s, its too plaid out. This is free (i have a ****ed up front anyway) and will raise the value of my car, since I'm selling it. The s15 front costs 3500 bucks, this is free and would sell for $1k if I'm lucky.

to convert S13 to 15 front isn't that hard, what u need is a pair of S15 gaurd. after market front bar(u can choose standard, but would u?) and a bonnet, even the bonnet is carbon fibre, they won't even cost close to a$3500!! sell yr R33 front at $us1000 and source the gaurd,bonnet, front bar, i GUESS would be about us$1500?

dude, i have a 97 240sx, thats the body style that looks like a skyline already. thats FAR from an s13.

I would personally dump the price even further down if you have GTS-t fronts from on your 240s... that's a tell tale sign that your car may have been trashed or accident damaged in the past and you ended up have to use fronts from other cars cause you can't find the genuine replacement...

If you want to increase the sales value, stick with a genuine 240s front, with hi quality repairs, you can cover any signs of car was trashed or in the accident.

im in america, this front end swap sells for ALOT of money. a car with it done sells for quite a bit more. people swap front parts all the time. it wont drop the price of my car.

guys - as he said hes in america - where the market is different, so you cant comment on value. Also, he asked specific questions, not asking for opinions,...

thanks for backing me, i was getting really frustrated but didnt say anything. THANKS!

Ok then, fair enuf.

Gee, you americans are funny... :-)

Maybe that explains why honda civics and camrys are very popular there with flashy body kits and different tail lights, head lights and everything....

thats not cuz we're funny, thats cuz our population of stupid people is high. i despise the majority of honda owners, because most of them are stupid and make their cars into freaks of nature. the only reason im interested in using the r33 front is because its free so it saves me money, and it will raise the value of my car, since i might be selling it really soon.

the gtr front-made of aluminium, has a wider guard, wheel arches are slightly flared, grilloe is different and it looks more agressive. In my opinion if u put a r33 gts25t nose on ur 240SX it will look crap(no offense if u thought it would look good) ur better off putting a strawberry face kit on it.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
