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.

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

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
