R33 Gtst With Gtr Front Guards

[nsta]

As per question, if i wanted to get a pair of r33 gtr front guards and put them on my series 1 r33 gtst, what else needs to be modified?and does anyone have pics of being done before?

[Cubes]

ghey.

It would look like arse without the rear guards also done.

And then it would be a mega insult to R33 GTR's as the GTST simply won't perform off the line like the GTR nor would it have that RB26 solid follower exhaust note.

A R33 looks nice as it is; std kit, slightly lowered with nice wheels and 265's all round.

Why not flog the car off; save up a little more and grab an R33 GTR?

This is how I look at it.

A GT-R is a beast but the GTS-T is also a beast in it's own right.

Don't make it into what it's not... love it for it... I've done enough mods to my GTS-T that I think it can either keep up to or beat a GT-R... but the point is, I love it for it and won't want to be something else.

[gt-ahhh!]

and does anyone have pics of being done before?

well this is my baby. its a 400R front, which is easily the hottest imo. but i bought it with all that kit so i couldnt really tell you the rest. looks good but.

i see no harm in replicating a gt-r, as long as you dont put badges on it.

Speaking of badges.... too many GTS-T's with GT-R badges... why?

[linedup33]

on topic, would u b able to fit a gtr bonnet to a gtst or would u need to change other things too?

[gt-ahhh!]

Speaking of badges.... too many GTS-T's with GT-R badges... why?

no fuggen idea. its so lame. gts-ts are awesome and own most other cars on the street, be proud of that.

mind you, i resent stockies very much. they look so ugmo. and weak.

Havent you already recieved an answer for that question from the many other times you have asked that?

Yeah that's right. A 6-cyclinder turbo monster is a monster is it's own right.

However, stockies look piss-weak... that's true.

Nothing wrong with making the car look similiar like a GT-R - e.g. bars, wing etc... but I even ordered pesonalised GTS-T badges.. as I am proud of what my beast is..

[Basti]

way to hijack the thread spunky.

to the op, im guessing since the gtr is based on the series one your lights will fit. however gtst grill, and i think reo are different. front bar too obviously. note: this is just a guess. dont take it as gospel

[LiQuid IcE]

From memory Bonnet/Front bar will also need to change

and the bonnet hinges are different

[nsta]

So with a series 1 gtst, no need to change headlights???only front bar, bonnet?.......also, i dont wnt my car to look like a gtr, just want it to look different to every other gtst floating about. Ive seen a stst with gtr front and it look nice, and didnt look odd without the rear guards....

please stay on topic and advised what needs changing.

thanks

I've done this to my car..and i've answered the same question several times in the last month or so.. So i suggest you do a search next time.

But anyway this is what you need to do.

If you want to put on R33 GTR front guards, you need to change bonnet, bonnet hinges, bonnet latch, Headlights are the same jsut need to drill a whole on the top bracket and get headlight spacers (to space them out 1 inch or so)

GTR front bar, GTR reinforcement (maybe), Guard raisers (lifts guards up about an inch), GTR inner guards, side indicators, Grill.

I've been there and done that, and if i were you, i wouldn't bother..It wont leave you much change from $2000 (and thats for 2nd hand parts).

Only reason i done it to my GTST is for sentimental reasons and to clear bigger wheels.

But if you do need the parts, the guys that done my car can supply you.

Good luck
