R33 Gtr Front Bar On Gts-t + Do-luck Sides & Rear


Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

I'm new here so thought I'd say a big hello to all of you first!

The guy that sold me my car has a GTR front bar made to fit my GTS-t and I'll be picking it up soon. I don't want to make my car look like a GTR, but i do like the fact that it is more open around the intercooler and gives the car a more aggressive look.

I was wondering what you guys think about gts-t's with gtr fronts and also, do you reckon it will look good with Do-luck side skirts and rear bar?

I'm still undecided as to whether I want to put a kit on my car because the stock look is great - so i was thinking of just changing the front bar purely as a performance enhancement to let more air across the front mount. I've noticed the GTR front also has vents on the side where i can fit piping for a cold-air intake.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers

Chris.

p.s. I've posted a few pics of my car in my gallery, feel free to check them out at http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/LI51CA-m67924.html

Hi mate,

Firstly, welcome to SAU.

Now, there is nothing wrong with putting a GTR kit on a GTS-T as the stock look, in my opinion, doesn't look very aggressive although it's ok.

However, if you got Do Luck side skirts and rear pods...I suggest you spend some cash and get the plain GTR ones as the Do Luck side skirts are a bit fat looking and just wrecks the slick and simple GTR look.

Otherwise, purchase a Do Luck front bar...you can even get one from Ebay for around $350 posted.

I personally like the simple but tough look for the GTR kit all around.

Good luck mate!

Thanks heeps mate

Yeah, i agree. i like the agressive GTR look. However, I'm worried it's going to look weird because the guards aren't as flared as the GTRs. Would you hapen to have any pics of a GTSt with a GTR kit?

Cheers.

Hey mate,

I wouldn't worry as the GTR-replica for the GTS-T is made specially for it. In other words, it's smaller than the GTR size so it will fit nicely. A lot of people put a GTR front bar on as it looks best on a R33.

Here's a picture of it on a GTS-T.

You can get it from almost any bodykit place. Try www.jetspeed.com.au or www.carmate.com.au for starters!

Good luck!

That does look nice!

I think i made up my mind.

Cheers mate.

Hey mate,

No worries...glad you've made up your mind. The GTR front bar, although simple, looks very aggressive and nice. However, one thing to remember - spend $200-$300 on a set of nice GTR front bar indicator lights intact with proper backing not cheap mesh and a round truck-like indicator lights.

You can get them from www.justjap.com or www.jetspeed.com.au - just call and ask for them.

Good luck.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
