I saw a GTSt with a GTR kit the other day.

Then I proceeded to see another 15.

Can't improve on perfection :D

In all honesty, I can COMPLETELY understand people who put GTR-style bodykits on their GTS-ts.

My first skyline was a DEAD stock R33 GTS-t Type-M, and it was the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Good performer, but DAAAAAAAAAAMN that bitch was ugly. So I looked for bodykits to try and fix up the looks department a bit, and I quickly realised that at the time, all bodykits available for the GTS-t were fugly beyond belief. The only nice ones were the Trial one (I didn't like their front bar, but the rest of the kit was nice) and the "GTR-style" kit.

I eventually chose a hybrid: GTR Front bar (no badge), 400R side skirts, 400R rear bar and GTR Rear Wing............ A combination that I'm proud to say I thought up myself, and has since been mirrored by many many other GTS-ts that I've seen driving on the roads :D

Here are some pics of my very first skyline. Transformed from a dead stocker.

my car came with a 400r bar and gtr wing and skirts when imported, im gonna change the wing to something smaller one day hopefully, but i agree with merli, the standared gtst kit is just, well, needs improving

I should get a photo of the Renault Clio that parks near my house on the weekend. The one with GT-R badges...

haah i fitted the alarm to that hahahahahaaha i couldnt stop laughing

worse still was the corolla that came the next day - ke70 with a gtr badge blu tacked (!!!!) to the front grill - needless to say it fell off as he drove off.

I now own a GTR badge :D

HMMMM is it sorta like have a r33 GTST and then buying the plates HKS33 is that the same thing or is that an exception

:D bagging my plates when you have HKS33 on a fairy stock Nissan skyline

now that is what i call :Owned:

johnnyr31, it was a couple of months back in the Queenbeyan Woolies car park. Hahah, funny that eh? Me, i was not in a Skyline sadly... :rofl: I'm still saving for mine (not till november). Instead i was in my mum's blue/gold Toyota Echo...lol.

Hey guys i cant help but noticing a lot of u use the words rice to describe the GTR badge imitation thingy....where actually rice is a word that v8 Chev drivers in the USA invented for describing any car that is JAP (the connection Jap and Rice...can it be anymore obvious...like Italian and Pasta) So really wannabe racer boys are not rice....but all of us are rice........keep cool.

Actually.................. no.

The term "rice" evolved from the term "riceboy" which was coined by an American High-school kid who was bored in class and sick to death of all the lame modifications his classmates were doing to their Civics, making them LOOK fast, as opposed to actually making them GO fast.

He started it all with a hand-drawn comic strip called "The Adventures of Rice-Boy and his dog Mugen".

It can still be seen here: http://www.riceboypage.com/

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
