well out of all the pictures posted here, none of them look the same to me. Its a matter of chosing the right mods to differentiate from the others, not many GTR's I see look the same, similar yes, but not the same.

what would you do to make them different?

Well this is what i plan on doing once my bank account recovers and i have the pace i want.... (plus finding someone to mix me a midnight purple aint easy! grrrr)

Do luck front bar and skirts... yummmmmmmmm

that does it for me like u never believe!

not a fan of kits on GTR's, takes away the GTR-ness and makes it look more like a kitted GTS.....

haha except for the fat ass, fat front and GTR badges lol....

I dunno it seems not to many people do like kits on them... i do tho

:P DoLuck R33 GTR. Best looking kit ever.

post a picture of it now.....then we can see whats done, and give some opinions on what needs doing.

I reckon 33 GTR's are made tuff pretty simply, but its all in the wheels(colour and make), stance(not fully hektik lowered though), and tidy little add on's, like clear indicators to get rid of the orange ones, a few neat carbon add ons, like wing parts etc. All of the above mine has, plus Ganador's, and all that makes for a pretty simple yet tidy package which isn't too ricer-ish nor too understated.

Not saying mine is the tuffest around by any means, but I like it the way it is now and I guess I wouldn't have done the new mods to compliment the existing ones that were done if I didn't think that they would help with the overall look I was chasing.

you asked for pics, so here are a few of mine, bad day for pics within regards to lighting, but you get the idea.

Hey mate, is that a real carbon front lip... and where did you get it?

QIK-GTR and Paul, ur cars look sensational! Top marks for retaining the standard form, your attention to detail is exceptional.

Ganadors should have been a factory option!

QIK, use of carbon, black and choice of rims are spot on, and it looks asthough it retains a ride height that practical.

Paul, great choice of rim, dished is always a winner.

Top marks to both cars not having stupidly sized chromes, ludicrusly low ride heights or the full compliment of e-bay sticker kits.

:yes:

oh ya brockaz wered you get those cool white frontbar indicators from ??

They are Nismo clear indicators, I bought mine of Blitz here on the forums, but you can get them from Nengun or Greeline as well I think.

Thanks for the kind words mate! Always nice to hear someone else appreciates your taste in cars. I can't take credit for the rims, as they came with the car, but they were a definite factor in me buying it.

Also have a set of Work Emotion CR KAI's with r-comps as track rims, haven't fitted them yet but 18x9.5 with +20 offset, im hoping they should look decent as well...

same as Brockaz said, thanks for the compliments, it is always nice to hear from someone you don't know, makes you realise you made some correct decisions! Ride height is practical, doesn't rub or scrub or scrape anywhere, but I'm going to wind it down a little just to see how it looks, probably won't handle aswell though. Oh, and its Midnight Purple, not black, bad day for photos.....will get more when the sun finally comes out up here!! ;)

Brockaz, chuck the Works on and get a few pics up.....should look great, what colour rims?

I'll be throwing them on in the next few weeks to see what they look like, so I'll put some pics up then.

They're this color:

Titanium grey or something.

any chance of getting some nice dished rims for like under $2000?

My GTR has the standered rims on it and im sorta looking round for some new ones... prefer 18s, prefer as wide as will fit under the gaurds... prefer as much dish as possiable!

ideas??

highly doubt it, unless some cheap 2nd hand ones pop up! Don't skimp on rims, cheap wheels look like like cheap wheels, and on a GTR some Lenso's or similar rubbish really makes the car look average....just save for longer!!!!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
