R33 Boots - All The Same Size?

[Spunky Munky]

Hi all,

As most of you know, I want to get a different kinda looking wing for my R33 - was going to put a R34 GTR OEM wing on, but checked everywhere and they're all sold out and probably be a 4-5 month wait on the actual wing I wanted. The normal GT metal wings doesn't do it for me when it comes to the R33, so decided to go back to the good old GTR wing.

Now here's the thing, I checked all the specs etc everywhere and it seems like the GTS, GTST and GTR all have the same size boot - hence, one GTR wing fits all - this is correct?

The reason the I ask is that I came across a replica GTR wing a couple of months ago (unpainted at an aftermarket car shop called Cybertury) here in Melbourne - anyway, they had a R33 replica wing, I put it on my car for size and it was like 2 inches smaller on both sides... the area in between the two "bat-like ears" of the boot was much more larger on my car so the wing stupidly just set right in the middle - so obviously, I couldn't proceed.

I asked a few people including some members on here and nearly everyone said the R33 boot should be the same (not talking backbar etc here) - so they said probably the above wing was don't wrongly or is a R33 GTR wing but designed more so to fit something like a Civic or a Corolla... so anyways, I've ordered one from catmate.com and they confirm that I should get it within 5 working days - I rang the guy a few times to make sure and he said it should 100% fit flush... was just wondering if this is correct and if so, would it fit just nicely? I got the R33 GTR wing with the LED stop light.

Your thoughts fellas?

gtr wing will fit perfect on gtst. but if i was you i would have waited until i found a OEM gtr wing on the forums for sale. carmate's products have a reputation of not being great quality.

Wait for someone wrecking a 33 GTR in your car colour, buy the boot and wing together and its just a matter of unbolting old bootlid and bolting in the GTR boot. I paid $350 for the genuine boot and wing together already painted in my car colour which is cheaper then the wing alone on that carmate website without factoring in painting and fitting.

Just takes a bit of patience and checking the 'For Sale' section twice a day

Thanks fellas for your thoughts... I just got the wing from carmate... one word 'AMAZING."

I must say, I've heard mixed thoughts about carmate.com - but now, I am a true fan of them... wow, the wing came wrapt in plastic, had carboard cushioning, more wraping and cotton all over... I opened it up - wow, didn't have a single stretch - was literally sparkling... the wing fit on perfectly flush, came with everything including instructions and a manual with all wiring, screws etc... I am speechless, not only did the product come back sparkling... it was rushed her at jetspeed... think about it, I ordered online, paid via credit card, rang the guy like 3 times asking questions about the wing etc on Friday and here it is Monday afternoon.... very impressed... this wing came with LED light, looks awesome and is under $400 inclusive of postage... I don't know, I am speechless...

Thanks all.

Cybertury? Do you mean Cyber Century?
