Almost there, just have to fit sideskirts on Monday, then fit the wheels to give it the stance.

Colour is a bit trippy depending on daylight and night lights in the workshop...

Will post pics once it rolls out to the street

Have you flared your rear guards yet? You cannot say it's a widebody until the rear and fronts are proportionally flared...also, to give it the fat look, you have to get a GTR spec bonnet and GTR spec front bar...all this adds to the new fat look.

Your colour is unique mate...I call it the Caramel colour! lol Nice!! I wish you chose the GOLD look ....actually looks nicer in my opinion!

quick question for those checking this, mines a GTS-4 so its awd setup...now the front hubs that i got from a gtst dnt suite and wont bolt up for my 5 stud conversion

anyone have any ideas how to fix this, im lookin in ur direction kevin :blink:

Hey mate...I gotta give up here mate...cannot help you there...suggest you post a new thread in the suspension or drivetrain section.

With my GTS4 it came with 5 stud wheel conversion already done - I just turboed it and that was it. Not to demotivate you, be honest mate, after all that hard work...looking back, I think it was cheaper to just go and buy a GTR.

However, if you can build a GTS4-T into a monster then it just adds to the fun! :(

As you know I now have two cars, a GTR and a GTS4-T - I gotta say, I do have a soft spot for my GTS4-T as it was with it that I had spent so much time and money.

Go for it buddy!

Nuh after this build I'll be heading towards and Audi S3...this is just my toy project to get it out of my system as I always wanted to build a car.

As for 5 stud conversion already worked it out I just need a set of HNR32 or BNR32/33/34 knuckles front hubs and Im all good from there.

Dnt worry I realised I could buy either a Nur or N1 engine from Just Jap and have dropped the engine in with the amount I've spent so far...but I did bodywork...so eh its already been done. As I said I'd have always bought a GTR but I wudnt have been able to drive in for 3 years cause I'm on my P's still til next August...

Here's some of the new photos

As for focusing on the flares, what sort of shots do you want?

This is the rear guard from PSI Parts

Hi Daniel - haven't been on here for a while...great to see your car has been finished and is now on the road...looks good buddy...

The colour is (as I had predicted) - changing a bit, getting darker which is tough as it was too yellowy at the start for my liking - looks really good mate.

Love everything about it - except for the front bar - I suggest you get a Do-Luck front bar and it would complete the look nicely.

Looking good mate - so what's next?

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
