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.

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?

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.

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

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..

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

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 :P

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
