Modifying a GTR is like an addiction, and in my case I was becoming a junkie!

Before long, I was at it again. I will let the pictures below tell the story....

The inspiration was the Z Tune. The modifications were obvious to the astute observer, however, here is the list below:

Nismo R Tune carbon bonnet

Nismo Z Tune front guards and front bumper

Nismo Air intake piping and air duct

Nismo Z Tune intercooler

Nismo side skirt and rear spats

Nismo GT urethane gear knob

Nismo MFD II

Superior carbon dash cover

All Nismo items were genuine, therefore they were no issues with fitment and finish.

A Power FC retune yielded a slight increase in maximum power output, possibly due to larger intercooler:

I will keep this thread alive by updating periodically

Thanks for compliments everyone. But did someone mention wheels?

Self confession - I am a wheel whore

The gunmetal Nismo LMGT4s are limited edition 2005 model with centre cap to replicate GT series GTR.

More goodies to come....

Can you tell me the color code for the Volk mags? iv got bronze Advanti mags but they aren't a very nice shade anymore. :blush:

Would greatly appreciate it thanks.

Edited by R34 -_-

Pics of LMGT4s fitted with Bridgestone RE010R 265/35 R18 tyres. The Bridgestones are way better than the Hankooks.

I ended up selling the TE37s to another forum member before I had a chance to even trial fit them.

Deep down, I regret selling those TE37s; I would still really like to own a set of 19" TE37s but 10.5" in width and with a more aggressive offset.....

I agree that the TE37s, LMGT4s and Ce28Ns suit the GTR to perfection!

Unlike what the topic of the thread suggests, so far I have not shown anything about a RB28 or V Cam!

Here's a teaser pic of what's installed (plus a few extra bits not shown):

Details of parts list will be posted over the weekend.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
