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...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
