I recently bought a Black R33 gts and while it has some cosmetic mods already, I'd like to do some work myself so it feels more like my project and not someone elses.

This is the car as I bought it.

It has the R33 Explosive Bodykit which I really like and I love the rims (Not sure what they're called)

But I want to change some things myself.

Definitly going to get a tint done.

I'd love to get a vented hood but after looking around the forums it seems near impossible to get a suitable/legal one.

A mate suggested smoked indicators which I'll look into.

Any other suggestions for me?

wider rims and tyres

gtr spoiler with carbon fibre (CF) blade

wider front guards

CF ganador mirrors

CF bonnet

CF foglight surrounds

CF front canards

CF rear diffuser

CF eyelids

CF grill

CF boot lid

painted gtst calpers front and back

personally design vinyl graphics, racing orientated

and some sort of gun mounts that pop out of the front somewhere and expose two 7.62mm mini guns

Thanks for the ideas guys,

is that beau's old car?

Nope, I bought it from a bloke named Jason in the Knox area.

I was looking at eyelids,

I forgot about painting calipers but that was someonething I was gonna do. are the gtst brakes expensive/much different?

and as for lowering it, im struggling to get in and out of driveways already. perhaps in future.

Will I have cop trouble with carbon fibre parts in Vic?

And lastly, are there any engine changes I can make while I'm on my P's?

yeah looks fine, eyelids maybe, tint it definately some better mirrors would look good..

But Id Leave it the way it is mostly and install a killer sound system, maybe some nice seats as well..black leather for the sexy.... carbon craps a waste of cash and will only spoil that nice shiny black paint..

I think it looks boring as it is, looks like every other S2 r33, looks so average...

carbon crap, wash your mouth out and gain some taste... oh well that is if you dont want to be a sheep...

bbbooorrriiinngggg!!!!!!

Welcome to SAU Bob :thumbsup:

I don't know what to say except that now you've revealed that you'll save up for a GT-R, you might as well not overcapitalise too much on your current car - or else you can lose too much on it before the changeover.

No idea if they still make new bodykits.

I dont want to spend anything rediculous on this one before buying GTR but ill be in this for at least 2 years assuming nothing happens to it so i wouldnt mind spending a bit on it for comfort/practical things like tint, reupholstery and gts-t calipers.

Hey mate,

Im guessing thats your 33 in your signature?

Cant see clearly, what have you done to the front indicators? they look awesome :thumbsup:

i wanna tint mine as well, be cheaper if we go together to tint-a-car perhaps n work a deal to get both cars done

and rims are RS-GTs

perhaps paint calipers or better yet get a brake upgrade with GTST brakes or something :thumbsup:

and welcome to the forums bob :)

yes paint the calipers. that was on the to do list but decided to swap cars, but i just did mine in blue and lets say it looks mint

stuff the bonnet.

lower it, bigger/fatter wheels job done.

is that beau's old car?

nah alex its my old car

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
