I have a 95 r33 gtst, to be honest im very bored of the wing and front bar.

My car is currently the series 1 blue w/ grey trim around the bottom. No body mods apart from a set of 17s and lowered suspension

What kind of front bar do you reckon would look good, without any other body parts like sideskirts etc? Basically just looking for a nice looking stockish front bar with a nice big hole for my intercooler :banana:

And what kind of rear wing do you reckon?? im a bit bored of the M spec wing i have (although it is pretty sick) Im kinda leaning towards a GTR rear wing

post a pic up, but front what your saying you got series 1 wing, the little round 1.

good way to start is to get a trial/gtr style front bar and series 2 rear spoiler. it wil change the whole appearance of the car. im fittin my new trial bar today. will post pics 2nyt so you can see what i mean.

Since you just want a front bar and a wing ... let's not even talk about anything else.

Here's what I suggest... A GT-R front (has a very good hole of the intercooler) and a Jun rear wing perhaps.

You may notice that nearly every man and his dog has a GT-R front bar and a GT-R wing... perhaps you might want to look a little different.

I know I did.

The look i like (and will be going for in the near future) is the GTR wing with Nismo lip on stock R33 S2 front bar, a lot of people have this combination but it just looks perfect, not a fan of some of the flimsy looking aftermarket front bars

Yeah id go for a GTR wing myself i find they just look really nice compared the stocko ones :P as for front bar i think dmd makes the GTR do luck style bars for the gtst i think they look awesome and not there heaps popular either which is even better :)

Ive just got a MSPORT front bar, being sanded and painted on monday, cant wait. Will post pics when i have it mounted on.

I got it for $180!! RRP for $495

Cheers.

I cant wait to see those pics, that was such a good bargain.

Yeah im leaning towards a GTR wing, i think they look tough as nails really!! lol

Im looking for something that fits really nicely into the lines of a stock looking r33, coz i hate that look of a big front bar, and it looks massive compared to the rest of the car when it doesnt have accompanying sideskirts.

My other problem is the goddamn grey trim around the bottom of my car, im thinking of going blue all over, and getting rid of the grey skirts??

definatley go blue all over man, it will look much better imo.

Definately paint the bottom half of your car in blue - it will look really nice then.

I reckon you should just get the factory m spec front bar for the series one and cut the middle out where the number plate is attached to - giving you the cooler gap. Get some factory side skirts off an m spec and paint em matching blue as well. Top it off with a gtr rear wing or stealth wing and it will look awesome - because it will be suble but a lot better than what you currently have.

I have a genuine gtr wing on my car but the pic in my sig is old... love the gtr wing!

i was looking at an r33 for sale today, and i had an idea which i thought might look good.

What about an m spec style front bar?? i would like to keep the stock indicators, plus it would match the blue with grey trim paint scheme, and it would suit the lines of the car since i dont have side skirts. Is there any brand of front bar that is very similar to an m spec style front bar, but with a nice sized opening for my FMIC? or would i just have to get an m spec bar and cut out the plate holder in the middle?

I reckon the factory series 1 blue wouldnt look all that flash without the grey trim, although ive never seen one that is that blue all over, has anyone seen one that is the series 1 blue all over??

1 colour paint job will kill two tone no matter what colour any day of the week. With only an exception made for the veyron :thumbsup:

The most expensive part will be just getting the new components, skirts front bar etc painted because if you decide to go Factory m spec kit you could pick one up for pretty cheap off here in the for sale section probably. Cutting the section out isn't a prob either and can be done with a dremel or something simular but you could just ask the body shop to do it for you. The m spec bar will bring the front of your car quite lower than the type s one you have and will look 100 times better. Esp with the cooler behind it. Ive just got my cooler behind the factory s2 bar and with skirts and gtr wing it looks the goods. Parts themselves (if you use 2nd hand factory parts like m spec bar and skirts) should only cost you a few hundred dollars or so and you'll just need to get a few different quotyes regarding paint.

Also a lot of the aftermarket bars are quite elloborate in there design which is why a factory m spec with number plate cut out will suit the car perfectly. A good aftermarket bar though with a huge cut out for cooler is the trust bar. You will definately need skirts and 1 tone paint for that bar though as it is mega low!

Yeah the trust items are huge! I feel in my opinion that with the wheels i have, plus a gtr wing and an m spec front bar will basically keep the same style look that my car has atm, but toughen it up a bit.

Ideally i would love to buy a full kit something like a 400r kit or gtr kit, and go a full respray, but i dont really have the required 5000 or 7000 odd dollars to do all that.

I dont really want to take the risk of going the factory blue all over either, since ive never seen an r33 in that colour all over before, spend the money, then hate the colour. Has anyone got any pics or seen an r33 in that blue without the grey skirts?

On the plus side though, my cooler will fit really snugly into an m spec bar w/o the plate holder, it measures up almost perfectly.

I reckon maybe even a nismo grill to replace the standard series 1 grill?

M spec kit plus gtr wing will look the best for that tough but no over the top look. so yeh it will be a good choice. I'm not sure if its a nismo grill but the best grill for the series 1 with m spec bar is one that is a black plastic mesh with a red 's' for the gtst in the middle. Looks like the chrome 's' on the series 2 bonnet but instead is red and in the grill. My mate had it on his series 1 with m spec bar and looked really good heaps better than the venetian blind grill that the standard s1's have... It may very well be a nismo item i was never really sure.

As for the paint, do whatever you feel you will like. Personally i have always thought two tone to be a bit old skool. But i can see what you mean with the weird blue colour. You are probably just used to seeing it in two tone as well. Maybe doing some photoshopping would help you decide.

Edited by R33silverS2

Yeah agreed, i really dislike the venetian grill, but by what you described that grill will look really good. The nismo one i was thinking of is exactly the same kind of deal you are talking about, except instead of an s it had a nismo logo in the bottom right hand corner, looked pretty cool.

The two tone isnt my favourite, but i will have a trawl around the net and see if i can find someone thats done that kind of paint scheme, it may look really good for all i know. I went to the svi website last night and there was an r33 in the gallery that is the exact same paint as mine, with a pretty extreme body kit, didnt look as bad as i thought, but that being said, a more exciting colour all over would still be the balls.

I have a genuine gtr wing on my car but the pic in my sig is old... love the gtr wing!

Glad to hear you like it! You can't go past the GTR wing for the R33. It suits it just right. :D I wouldn't have sold it to you if I was keeping my Skyline. :bunny:

Post up some pics of it on! ;)

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
