SWEET I have type car lol

I have a question about the front bar on the series II, the drivers side has a stone tray under the front bar but my passengers side doesn't have one. Is it suposed to? I've seen them on the series I

reason I ask is my car got crashed into by a 19 year old tool in his parents commy, the front bar was replaced and the drivers stone tray. The repairer is trying to find a passengers side stone tray. I'm busting his balls on this I just hope i'm right :)

Yep Adam thats the bit I'm talking about, I know it as a stone tray or as an inner guard. It mounts to the underside of the front bumper. There is one on the drivers side of my car but since the accident trying to get one for the passengers side under the stock cooler is beginning to become problematic.

My question is does anybody else with an R33 GTS-T Series 2 have a black plastic part under the standard side mounted intercooler or is there no trim there at all. I have seen this black plastic part on an R33 GTS-T Series 1 my question refers to the Series 2, 1997 model.

Any help or info would be great, thanks :thumbsup:

I have an s2 33t with active lsd.

mine originally came with the plastic covers on both sides. Basically they were pis poorly designed, prevented airflow through the wheel arch and rubbed on the stock tyres when full lock and you go over a bump. They 'wear' pretty quickly if you need to o this a couple of times. Wider tyres and eventually they just wear through near the lip and break off. I still have them somewhere after the wear started i took them off.

Most people take them of to improve airflow around the stock ic anyways. The only purpose is to prevent dirt etc from getting into the wheel arches painted metal. rust preventative basically. the plastic undertray / diffuser under the engine is still in place on my car. On a side note as bad as the smic was on my 33 with heat soak and restriction it was actually noticably worse when the tray was on as compared to it being taken off. the front mount again massive difference and the exhuast again another differnce but alll going of topic.

basically the covers are just plastic and since mine were pretty new when I got the car (replaced obviously) you can source them still.

what was this spec g? neer heard of it or read about it ?

wonder how much an apexi 4 door 33r cost these days eh ?

thanks for that dreamer :)

just a little note, removing the stone trays as i call them has been known to direct air flow downward out of the front bumper and away from the radiator or fmic...

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
