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.

    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets   
    • Short inlet runners cost quite a bit. Dulls off the off-boost torque, and delays boost onset, because arrival of boost is driven by gas flow is a product of the ability to flow air which is torque. This is the reason that the stock manifolds have longer runners. On a 3L, or bigger, you can usually accept the compromise of giving away some torque because the extra capacity gives you a little extra to waste. But on a smaller motor, there's not a lot there to start with. Example, I swapped RB20 out of my R32, 25NeoDET in its place. The "wall of torque" that I experienced afterwards made it all worthwhile. That's because I came from RB20 land where torque is not a thing. But I would not do anything, anything at all, to reduce the low/mid torque I have now, because I remember what it is like to not have it!
    • Really, low/midrange torque goes really bad?? I want decent acceleration, maybe I use a stock rb25det neo manifold?
