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/

    • Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.
    • The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.
    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
