Hey fellas,

I've been thinking about a new look for my jet-black R33 GTR. I was thinking of removing all badges and stickers off my car and just keeping it nice and clean.

To be honest, I've been a bit of a 'sticker whore' in recent years, e.g. Tuning shop's stickers on the top of the front windscreen, side windows and rear window plus a few Nismo and HKS stickers etc in a few places (guilty as charged)...plus, on one occasion I even had Nismo side strip decals on the sides of my car too...

However, I think I've had enough of this and like my car to look clean just not too sure if have it badgeless and stickerless is a bit to extreme in pursuit of the JDM racer look. What do you guys think?

CLEAN JDM SPEC (will also remove front/rear GTR badge too:

OR the RACE SPEC (with as much stickers if not more)?

race spec would attract HEAPS of attention.

unless your car is 100% legal itd be nothing but harassment by the boys in blue.

that said i love the race spec look, it'd be good on a car that does occasional track work, but for a street car however, it'd be a little over the top.

clean look it is...

i rekon ditch the spoiler, leave the stock body kit alone, nice low ride height and some simple rims like Te37s in the bottom pic, or Dirfteks. meshies/busy rims look horrid on R33s IMO...

Keep the 2 GTR badges, or at least the rear badge and the 1970's GTR badge on the front (looks beautiful!) then get rid of everything else. And if ou want to go a little further, shave the side GT badges, aerial, rear wiper blade, and anything else thats in the way. Add maybe 1 or 2 club stickers, and you'll be good to go! Like Cam said, through on some nice simple rims (not Drifteks, too heavy and shit. LMGT4 instead) and you'll be laughing!

Word.

yep. As you guys probably already know from another thread of mine, I'm trying to source this 1970's badge. After I decide with what look I will adopt, the next step is to go crazy on performance.

Why the hell would you want to get rid of the GTR badges :)

Just keep it looking clean. A little tiny sticker here or there isn't a sin. But don't do the whole shopping list door thing.

:huh: Damn go all the way and return it to stock *****

I have seen a few jdm racer cars. No badges or stickers. Looks tough as...you guys agree? A gtr is recognizable anywhere. I just debadged my gtr. Took everything off. Thinking of debadging the side gt badges too now.

Hahaha. Did you google that or grab it off some post I've posted sometime ago. Seriously, I love that white GTR look. I wish mine look like that but everyone seems to be against the "wish list" look. Actually there isnt THAT many stickers on the white one too. Anyway still thinking about it but probably wouldnt be doing it. Hahaha

Ive had my 33 with some pretty full on graphics on it and never had any police attention caused by the look of it, this is with vented bonnet after market wheels lowered, , sparco race seat, 3in exhaust (not a quiet one either) all of which are things that can get noticed... Im not exactly low profile driver either, definitely not a sleeper look...

so maybe its something else that is attracting the cops to other modified car drivers...

I reckon go for what you like best...

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
