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/

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
