Hi People,

Ive got a 33 4door sedan. I want to do some body work to it and im just after some info.

I like the 33 GTR front end, how hard is it and what do i need to look for, for the wider tougher look like the front of a GTR do I just need to find Original GTR Quarter panels and front bar and just fit it on or do i need something else to give it the wider look.

For the rear being a sedan ive looked around but cant find anything that gives it a wider look that will match the front. I tried looking at the autech 4 door gtr edition but i cant find any parts for it. Does any out there know of wider rear panels and where i can get them.

I dont want a wide body kit id like it to look neat, tough and suttle.

Hope you guys can help.

Hey dude

R33 GTR original parts can replace the WHOLE front end. I know some people use just the bumper, but it wont give the wide look your after. I believe you will need all parts that make up the front end of the GTR ie guards, front bumper, reo, lights, and bonnet, maybe even the bonnet hinges.

As for the rear end, R33 GTR 4 Door was made by Autech, the rear 1/4 panels and doors are custom. I think a guy named Ernest Parry once did a 33 Sedan to 33 GTR sedan conversion. Apparently there are a couple floating around OZ.

If you want it slightly wider and subtle, the best i can suggest is custom hand flaring/pumping of the guards, that way the amount of extra width is up to you and you can also fit wider wheels :rofl: (as opposed to "bolt-on flares"), probably cheaper than sourcing Autech parts too.

cheers

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
