Hey Guys.

Just recieved my new GTR style spoiler and Front Lip and im looking for some ideas for when its painted.

Now being a silver Skyline. The standard option is to paint both parts silver. But im really keen on the idea of making the centre part of the front lip (i.e below the intercooler) Black/Gunmetal and then silver for the rest, and having the Spoiler Silver with the Black/Gunmetal blade.

Just wondering if anyone has any photos of skylines with either painted or even Carbon blades on their wings OR has a photo of a skyline with a blacked out centre part of the frontbar to help clarify my ideas. (Repainting because im not happy is too expensive). What are everyones thoughts?

Heres a pic of the very quick trial fit. Please excuse the lack of straightness, and the rear Spoiler only sticks up because it is balancing on top of the factory wing. lol. Also excuse the wheels. Got one of them "screwed" on the way home from town the other day. So the whole lot are changed back for now. grrr

Leave the front lip matte black imo, i've found that by having a coloured lip [in my case, it was burgandy] its more obvious when you scrape it. If you have a matte black lip then once a month or whenever you have the time you can just touch up the black paint with a brush and some paint.

you can buy carbon fibre covers for the r33 wing blade but exxy just for the look imo

I love silver cars, my first skyline was a two-tone silver and grey r33 and silver with black would look nice too :P

is this the look you're going for with the frontbar?

Hey. Yeah the GTT front bar is the exact concept i have in mind. And yeah. i shudder at the price of the carbon blade and end caps. I think it will look good. I guess im a bit concerned (in regards to the rear wing) about the black blade being taken as fake carbon and ricey.

Whereas my aim is simply to try and make it look sharp and trying to keep some form of originality, specially for a 33.

Reckon ill keep it on the books as something worth a try. Once its done (gimme a month) ill post some pics

well, you did buy a gtr style spoiler already so why not go with the flow...

:(

only joking I got a gtr style spoiler for my old r34, both R33,R34 GTR wings rock! :banana:

It's the posers who put on R badges who take it too far

I completely see where you're coming from, I never built up my GT-t to try and make it something it wasn't, just wanted a clean understated but stylish look

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
