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/

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
