I've done this on my car. Don't bother. The R33 GTR bonnet is longer and higher. It needs to be changed. Even the headlights, which look identical, are different. The GTR headlights have spacers to push them out further forward. Here is a list of items which need to be changed. Don't let anyone tell you that you don't need to change headlights or that you dont need the front guards raisers. Everything needs to be changed. It ends up a VERY expensive exercise. Trust me I know...

GTR Bonnet.

GTR Bonnet Hinges.

GTR Bonnet Latch.

GTR Guards.

GTR Guard Raisers (Piece of metal which sits above front aprons to raise the guards.

GTR Headlights.

GTR Front Bar.

I think the R33 is the worst model to do the GTR front on as you need headlights and the raisers in addition to all the other crap. From memory on the R32 and R34 you don't need the guard raisers or headlights.

Here are some pics off my phone...

The front has been resprayed black (looks mint). But the rest of the body could use a spray. I can't really be bothered with the car anymore. Will probably be up for sale soon. It's a Manual Turbo. Probably looking at around 12.5k if anyone is interested.

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
