I am thinking about replacing my OEM spoiler with a 33 GTR spoiler.

How would be the best way to do this? Does the GTR bonnet fit perfectly on a GTS-T?

Before i buy the GTR spoiler, i just want to find out what the options are!

Thanks rolleyes.gif

If you are referring to a R33 GTR bonnet/spoiler on a R33GTST then I can tell you that the spoiler will fit fine BUT, the bonnet will not as GTR's are wider!! Hope that helps, and like ONEDGE said, if you have a R34 then it won't fit at all which is pretty much self-explanatory really.

Sweet, so if i get a seperate spoiler, will fit on the stock brackets no problems?

Thanks alot, has helped heaps.

Hi mate, not sure what you mean be separate spoiler, but if you put the GTR one on, it will definitely fit but you may be to put extra holes in as from my memory the stock GTS-T one has different screw locations but the GTR being slightly bigger will sit over and cover up those existing screw holes anyway. If you are really worried about stiff fitment, you can also apply some glue to keep it in place also like I did on mine.

In regard to the GTR spoiler - I suggest you get the one with the break lights on the centre bottom area as it looks so much nice when lit up than the one without those lights but be prepared to pay approx $500 plus paint for one so it should set you back almost $900 fitted. Then you can always get some GTR/Nismo/Carbon Fiber end caps to finish off the look.

Good luck mate. I personally think the GTR spoiler is the nicest for a R33. A lot of people say the duckwing thing looks good but to me it is simply ugly and the T-Wing (otherwise known as shopping cart) style ones are ugly UNLESS you plan to track your car and are adding it for performance reasons. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks so much mate, you really helped heaps. Answered pretty much all my questions :).

Looks so nice, the GTR look :).

Thanks again SM :).

You're welcome mate.

Not many spoilers look nice on a R33 so make sure you choose the right one. Good luck.

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
