Geez that is f**king ugly!

I think 99% of the time an aftermarket body kit can absolutely ruin the looks of a car as will gay looking rims. IMO it's better to keep stock rims then to go for aftermarkets just ffs, having said that though there are plently of rims out there that will finish a car off nicely if chosen well. Depends what you like really though.....

how sweet is this body kit?... i know its hi profile bt id definetly luv to have tht kit on my r33... any1 know wher i can get one??

I'm going to come out and say that I don't mind this... ...It is always good to see someone try something extreme... ...Innovating even... ...and if it wasn't for people like that we wouldn't have alloy wheels... ...Turbos... ...All wheel drive... ...etc...

Saying that... ...I'd really like to see what the rear of this car looks like... ...I always find that when I'm stuck in traffic it is the rear of cars that really needs to look good... ...Because that seems to be the par of the car that everyone sees more than anything else... ...And I think that's why I don't like fords... ...their asses look shit...

the 90's are well and truly gone but people persist with wide body kits and tri-spoke rims... common people get your act together! the only way that r33 could be worse was if it was painted in chameleon paint.

It is a '90s car after all...

You could put a wide body kit on an EH Holden... ...But it wouldn't suit the style of car... ...Just like a supercharger would look out of place on a Skyline...

Yes... ...The work done to this car is over the top... ...but as a total package it looks fine... ...I doubt this was put together to be driven around as a daily... ...Or even a "weekend warrior"... ...It's really just a rolling billboard and whether or not we like it as a car... ...It's doing its job...

c70 rear quarters and what reminds me of a VK commodore grille <<< for that reason alone it should burn.

Tri spoke Advans were always ugly, it's just lots of people have bad taste.

I mean, you wouldn't decorate your house like Graceland...But Elvis thought it was cool.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
