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.

    • 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.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
