Just a quick question. Sorry to hijack.

I have a R33 GTR V-Spec however this does not have factory rear pods. I have noticed that this is the same with alot of if not all 33 Vspec's.

Anyone know the reasoning behind this?

Cheers,

Actually it is a factory upgrade... Like, genuine Nissan OEM accessories.

You buy the car stock and you get to chose if you want to have the rear pods.

For example the R32 and R34 GTR had "Nismo" body kits available and you bought / sourced it from Nissan / Nismo.

For the R32 GTR, there was the Nismo front bar, which had 2 air vents for the intercooler, side skirts with rear quarter Spats, then a Boot Lip and a Bonnet Lip Spoiler to complete the "Nismo" kit.

The R34 GTR had the Nismo front bar with extra vents and a more aggressive look with the Bonnet Lip Spoiler built in, a set of side skirts and rear pods to complete it.

To my knowledge for the R33 GTR, you could only get the Nismo front bar with 2 air vents, rear pods and a Bonnet Lip Spoiler like the R32 GTR.

The only side skirts available from Nissan / Nismo was the Nismo 400R body kit.

The Nismo 400R body kit was a redesigned front bar with more air vents, the side skirts and a whole new rear bar.

It gave the R33 GTR a tuff look.

With a nice ride height and offset with Nismo LMGT wheels, it held an aggressive stance!

Cool!

Nice! Thanks for the info mate. I was not aware that it was options from factory.

I was getting a bit worried that my GTR was a GTS-T that had been involved in an accident and they threw in a RB26 and A-LSD and everything else. :cool:

But I fasted my VIN and nothing to worry about... Phew. Will be investing in some GTR pods for the rear though as I think it makes a huge impact on the overall look of the car (especially from the rear).

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
