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 =(

    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
