R33, Ideas And Advice Plz, Wtb

[mikeyR33-T]

Okay guys as some of you have learnt I am new to this forum and skylines in general, I am the ultimate NEWBIE but I am willing to learn and take criticism to a degree

- anyways I am looking at getting a new front bar for my skyline r33 s1 coupe, it is dark grey KH2 code, the current bar looks like it may be the 400R but its heaps low, like scraps hard on most driveway and thus has some nasty cracks on the bottom so I was looking at getting a new front bar sooon, I like the R33 GT or Type M bar looks neat without being overkill and not too low. you see my rear is standard wing like it goes from one side of the boot to other with a gap between it and the boot and im sure its standard. so the front bar is out of place. what would you suggest for another bar; aftermarket is fine as long as its not too pricey or overkill, want the car to look somewhat standard but stylish?

- ALSO, i was looking at maybe changing the rear spoiler I love the bigger GTR wings but I assume they would be high priced, but is there something similar aftermarket??

- I also really like the R33 GTR grill, compared to the standard one, Is there any way to put them into a standard r33 just for the look and style, almost like a mock up r33??

- also is there any place in ADELAIDE, that does like stickers/decals for the side of a skyline, maybe a picture or a design for the door or the guard, looking at getting something put on for a little more style and originality. maybe even a superman symbol sticker for the side or the window for myself but good quality and colors??

- does anyone have any parts like front bumper for R33, or decent easy to install boost controller for my car, that I can use to read the boost and maybe change it up and down if I need? I am running the R32 actuator so it boosts alright just seems to hit top rpm and lag for a second before that boost hits? like it will rev out to 6/7 rpm then for a second later it will boost sound like woosh?

- okay is there anyway to tune the stock ECU i have on the R33 to make a difference in the low range rpm, because being auto and in drive, the car is average from 0-60/70. then starts climbing nicely to 80-90, then really opens up, but id like to tune it abit to make some difference low and high end overall?? is it simple and can it be done? how much price??

- does anyone have a HICAS bar to lock off the HICAS it keeps lighting up and pissing me off!!

I think that is about it for now, would appreciate some feedback and response to this and see what i should do to my car

THANKS GUYS

These forums are the best place to look mate,

a quick search came up with this thread :

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/203706-what-is-the-most-awesome-r33-gtr-bodykit/

Also don't look past the SAU Trader section, have a look at the threads for places like Just Jap, Kudos Motorsport and of course our club sponsors.

In regards to tuning, there's mixed reports from some highly reputable shops like HPinabox (South), Boostworx (North) but there's no denying they know their s**t. Alot of people including myself have their cars tuned at Willall Racing, and SAU:SA has a good relationship with them. I believe they offer a generous price for Nistune, which is a good cheap way to unlock a bit of your cars potential and keep the constabulary relatively happy.

In terms of used parts for sale, a fellow member by the username of ON EDGE might lead you in the right direction, and also lives in the same general area as you and I. Send him a PM.

My only other advice/ moreso a request... Please don't put a superman symbol on your car haha. Not my forte anyway..

hey just thought id say, i got a GTR rear wing off boostcruise for $150 but had to paint it again so some cheap parts to be had,

also my brother has a GTR grill on his series 1, doesnt fit perfect but looks alot better than a standard one, has mesh on it also..not sure where you'd get one though

1 reason, u are not fast n the furious and

2 u do not want unwanted attention from the police, our cars catch their eye enough already

hicas lock bars are inbetween 65 and 120 on ebay brand new... 1 hr to fit

Not sure if a 32 hicas lock bar will fit a 33, but I have one for sale, with the bypass hose kit to go with. No reason why it wouldnt fit your 33 mikey if your interested. $100
