I've decided to go with GTR guards, front and rear.. Rear will need a cutting,welding job etc.. but overall, pumped out GTR guards look the best! Can get those wheels i wanted with a +45 offset.

Just need a wreaking GTR with a straight rear panel now!

custom stuff will aslo cost alot of the $$$$

lol give me a couple of weeks mate ill have my new car pics up and exactly how much its cost me to get it up to that stage......then ull see wat alot costs lol

my cars in my shop Daniel its almost ready just a few lil touch ups n get my speedo working somehow?? n yer

iv had custom work b4 it cost lost off money better off buying premade kits. if it dont cost u much then its shit lol unless u got a mate

I've just converted my front R33 S1 to GTR. Trust me it costs more and requires a lot more effort than you realise. This is what I needed that was different:

- GTR Bonnet (taller, longer).

- GTR Bonnet Hinges.

- GTR Bonnet Latch.

- GTR Headlights (Look the same as S1 R33, except have additional spacers).

- GTR Front Guards.

- GTR Front Guard Inner Liners.

- GTR Front Guard Raisers (Piece of metal that sits between guards and skirts - $300 pair from Nissan, goodluck getting from wrecker).

- GTR Indicators.

- GTR Front Bar (Even FGlass is expensive as not many around for GTR)

Now do the maths.

It cost me $2500 just for parts, and that was cheating, having modified the hinges/latch and using fibreglass front bar and bonnet. Plus another $2200 labour for fitting and painting, and it becomes a very expensive exercise. I'll post photos when I get a change though, looks insane! Better than your average R33. Now time for the rear =(

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
