New Look For My New R33

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...

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

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
