I was wondering, the R33 coupe comes with a spoiler as standard. Now if i remove the spolier, the trunk is not even with the sides of the car. I did see some cars having a trunk which matches the sides of the car LIKE in a 4-door R33. May i ask how did they do it? Maybe take a trunk from a 4-door and fit it onto a R33 Coupe?

it would cost more to get the fibreglass extensions wouldnt it? by the time, the cut/mould the fibreglass, attatch it to the existing boot, respray the whole boot again, then u have to pay for labour aswell

you can get a fibreglass one for around 500 and a carbon fibre one for around 900ish from memory..

it would only be illegal if the cop took a close eye and actually defected you for it, but i dont think they would be taking much notice of the boot, but thats just my opinion:)

Hey, I'm 18. Do you think I really give a shit?? :P But carbon fibre? :) Then carbon bonnet, and mirrors, and it'll be all good! I think I'm in love...

if u didnt give a shit u wouldnt be replying in the thread :) but i see where ya comin from...once again personal preference for carbon fibre haha

Duck wing, Drift wing, D-Wing, Stealth wing, its all the same thing. EVERYONE has those on their cars. I agree they do look pretty cool, but I prefer the look of the flush fitting boot, plus its rarer, and that is what I'm looking at doing with my car, making it unique.

Yeh, it looks too wierd with a carbon bootlid and normal bonnet, like the car is going backwards. If u get a carbon boot, better get a carbon bonnet, and the thing between the side windows, and carbon fibre mirrors. Even carbon fibre door handles and rims! And my mind has wandered off again...

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
