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 =(

    • So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.
    • Perfect day for a pie, really needs a soft top in this weather though
    • Prime parking, she is a little girl...LOL
    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
