Okie dokie, i finally picked up the garage defend full width gtst airguide from my bud to fit to my gtr front. The bad news is, They are not the same.

The difference is minor and can be rectified quite easily. because of the extra height of the gtr bonnet latch the gtst guide fouls on the latch mounting bracket. It will require trimming to fit but isnt a biggie.

The gtr also uses metal clamps over the headlight bracket with a bolt on the side, The guide will have to be drilled for these bolts as well.

Other than those 2 mods they are identical. From a manufactureres point of view the best bet would be to make one for a gtr and it would fit both.

Having been following the PSI Parts production of trying to make a c/f cooling panel to fit all GTS, GTST and GTR models, however as FineLine stated there is a difference which is holding up production atm.

And just between myself and PM-R33 we can tell you the quality of the PSI Parts c/f is worth the wait possibly another month or two off from production. So hang in there mate

So if its just between you two.. does that mean the rest of us shouldnt know and go buy from somewhere else and not wait? :P

It goes deeper. Stumbled across another issue with the gtst unit on the gtr. it isnt wide enough to reach out to the headlights courtesy of the longer nose on the gtr.

At the end of the day it would be better if there were 2 models.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
