picked up my items yesterday. not too bad. took some photos for you guys.... hopefully fitment is pretty good.

I would have thought that the headlight intake would have had tabs on both sides but there isn't. We'll see how it goes when I try and fit it on and see how it goes on the track.

I attempted to fit my r32 dmax style roof spoiler tonight with no luck :( It doesn't sit flush so I kept pushing down with sikaflex with a helper waiting but its so curvy that it wont stay down in all places at the same time, I had my tie downs ready at the wheels to hold it firm against the windshield but it was to fiddly for it. Is anyone in the Sydney region that is willing to help me out? Or any tips? Is it safe to use a heat gun perhaps on the spoiler without ruining anything? Lost here....

I think my n1 boot lip will fit okay, haven't attempted it yet but I'm hoping it wont be as bad..

Also when will the damaged in transit parts be estimated to be made up and sent back here?

Still waiting to hear from supplier.

Thanks I will have a crack at it again sometime this week and when its all done will post up some photos. Might get some different stronger sikaflex too and try that out. Was using 227.

Will be doing your order soon plats, packing it properly and securely is the main problem right now. Do-able, though I'm making about 15 custom boxes from flat cardboards that won't crush, which is a pain. Got a few of the 33 grills out.

Recieved my R33 CF GTR style front grill yesterday. Item was well packed lots of bubble wrap to keep it safe.

Item itself I was happy with very light and the carbon was decent.

Fitment on the other hand was the downside, the grill will not fit without removing the rear tabs sticking out and doing a little DIY to make it sit on the car how you want it too. Anyone who is waiting on theres will know what I mean when they try and fit it on the car.

The grill itself lines up fine and once in place looks great fitment is good after DIY is finished.

Overall happy with the item and the result.

Yup i removed all 4 tabs. The top ones can probably be left on but the bottom ones have to go. As each grills tabs will probably slightly different angle/width i suggest you assess which ones need removing.

I found it easiest remove all 4 as i can then place the grill how i want it and not have the tabs restricting me.

The back tabs can be cut off with a dremel / wire cutters / flower cutter basically anything with a sharp blade and handles has the tabs are fiberglass and wont be hard to cut through.

forgive me for being dumb here, but if you removed all the tabs how did you fit it man?????!

Imagination and creativity =).

I drilled 4 holes at the back, two at the top of the grill where the tabs used to be and another two at the bottom next to the mesh screws. Then you zip-tie the grill to the headlight. Placement of the holes and the Zip-ties are most important or it wont fit properly.

You could also go to bunnings and get 2 U-Shaped brackets bot 1 on each side and attach that to the headlights. With doing this the U brackets must be the correct size or the grill will stick out to much. The ziptie option is probably the easiest and cheapest.

Wow dude you car is porn. What rims are you running?

Thank you. PM sent as this question is off-topic

cool. mines a white car so itll stand out like a bitch if it dont fit

The fitment is good pretty much perfect if you install it correctly.

Btw don't bother trying to zip tie it from the mesh it wrecks the mesh and doesn't align properly, so save yourself the trouble as I tried it and it didn't work at all.

Just a note the mesh comes silver I painted mine matte black with a satin clear. Maybe since your car is white silver mesh would look better.

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.

      Final thought for now. Obviously the reason I was in there was to check everything is OK cooling wise, pull out the radiator to flush it etc, but I have to say the factory has done a hell of a lot of thinking about air management in a way they never did back in the R chassis days. The Redsport/400rs have (from engine forward) 2 large shrouded fans - radiator (incl AT cooler) - AC condenser - Intercooler Heat Exchanger and Oil cooler. There are shrouds and foam around everything to keep it pretty well sealed, which is good in that they have it sorted from factory, and bad in that I can't make any meaningful improvements there. The second red sport pump water pump is mounted in front of the rad in the airflow, so I will see if there is somewhere else I can stash that (unlikely, it is tight in there). The horns which are also in the rad airflow will be moved somewhere else, and hey who needs 2 when 1 would work For track days, I can also remove the lights which would block some airflow. Factory has already taken the smart option of ducting all air that went through the oil cooler down and out of the engine bay. This pic is taken from below looking up, so air comes through the cooler at the top of the pic then hits the shroud and is directed down and out of the engine bay through the engine bay lower cover Which of course is good for oil temps, but doesn't help the rad as it diverts 10-20% of airflow away So, no big improvements to be made here, I'll flush the rad out and put it all back together.....

      Next..... That escalated quicker than an Elon and Donald break up! I'll post up a specific DIY for radiator removal on these, but all I'm saying is that if you get a workshop to change your radiator for any reason and they give you a $1000 bill for it, go and hug them and thank them for not charging all the hours it took.....what a bastard of a job. I'll make some adjustments as I put it all back for faster access in the future, but it was a nightmare.
