Well i really wasn't going to bother replying to this thread after all the hate i got from everyone. I didn't see the point wether people liked it anymore or not, but i really wouldnt mind giving people that " I didnt expect that " feeling. So here are the photos in order :

When i got my licence..
10606173_857033114330950_830320865846964

I started drifting too much on the 20"s i snapped 3 studs on the rear so i came to accept that those wheels are too heavy, had to put stockies on.

Got sick of it, as fun as it was i had to move on.. So i searched for something different and got these. Axis Hiros 19 x 10.5"

The moment i bought them brand new and seen a completely different look on my car i fell inlove.

Wanted to throw out the colours abit more so i got walls done, Loved the look but regreted it after it started getting me pulled over and defected one too many times, because the walls were throwing out the stretched tyres abit too much.

Getting rid of the turbo front bar was a must, and had to get some street worthy wheels which didnt let the car down because stock wheels wasn't cutting it.

Bought a new custom front bar and a series 2 grill got them painted and fitted and was so shocked with the finished product,

Looks good mate, shame about the popo, I think either front end looks good, personally I don't like the big wheels cause you feel every bump in the road, the 19's looked pretty good though,

my bro has same colour and has an awesome rear bumper I think yours would really come alive with , i'll try to find a pic of and send you, im gonna get same rear when can afford it... :)

look up " Do-luck Kit For A R33 Gtr - Cosmetic, Styling & Resproay - SA by member F u r i o u s

theres a silver GTR with great looking rear

Edited by AngryRB

Hey guys, Great to see some positive feedback. Must've done something right! Hahah @MathewZ Thanks man. Im keeping that bar for when i get my fulls and make it turbo, or keep it for track days if that does happen one day.

@AngryRB Haha big coincidence man i was actually looking into getting Do-Luck Side skirts and Do-Luck Rear bar and wrap its diffuser in carbon would look nice in my opinion. Glad you say that gives me a +1 for that idea. I've got a photo of a silver gtr with that actually looks tough! Will search up that thread and yeah i agree i got paranoid too many times that my rim was going to snap off because of all the bumps i could feel. Got really sick of it. Thanks for your feedback.

@PranK Thanks, They'll be back on soon! still sitting pretty. Yeah the wing is a very hard decision..

Looks like shes crying for the do-luck kit from this angle...

Another Update on the 33:

Thanks @Polishn i bought the bootlip with the car as shown in the progression pics. I've bought a 400R Nismo GTR Double blade spoiler so i'll most likely be selling the lip off if your interested!

So heres the photos and progress so far -

400r Nismo GTR Double blade spoiler on its way from Hong Kong, Should be here soon :rolleyes:

Package arrived this morning, Do-Luck Bodykit :woot:

Put it beside the car, Couldn't wait till its painted so had to have a peek of a test fitting.

I'll let everyone know on the ending result. :action-smiley-069:


Personally i'd stick to this 400r bar @PranK because its a bit of a different style to the normal 400r front bars. I only realised that after i bought it but loved it anyways. If i do change the front bar in the future Id try a modified to fit genuine GTR front bar. :whistling:

Hey guys, Just a quick Update!

All the Parts have been dropped off to the painters, the 33s going as soon as i log off.
The spoiler only took 4 days to arrive from Hong Kong luckily, so the skyline will be ready for Fitted Friday 3 on May 15th.

This how it should roughly look like. Sitting ontop of the current rear lip.

Picked up the 33 from the Painters, 400r spoiler had abit of an issue with a crack repair but will be on shortly :)

Id wanna start off by sharing a photo of my 33 when i planed to buy it before it got painted.. This photo was taken in September 2013.

11202852_989014184466175_305960730648936

Now for what it looks like now, Currently got the Do-Luck side skirts fitted, and Fitted the Do-Luck rear bar with some custom fibreglassing to remove the bulky diffuser.

Well to start and finish my final Post...

I've finished the 33 a few weeks ago, and have been loving it! I haven't ever been getting this much feedback.. especially positive feedback.
Finally acheived where i wanted to be, but through all that i learnt alot.. About the scene, especially the people in it.. whos a "car enthusiast" and who really loves cars, 2 completely different things..

I dont want to turn this into a rant so heres the progress photos.

Slapped the Axis Hiros back on, wheel alignment and drop :woot:
11150847_995216210512639_705368295330408

Sent the r33 back in to get the 400r spoiler painted & fitted. All leds on the gtr spoiler worked too, that was a big plus. It was a very cold night so the fresh paint wasnt settling very well with all the mist on it.

Front shot from the same night it got painted & picked up.

This will be my last post, this community isn't cutting it for me. Great Admins tho, never seen Admins like here. so credits to them. :action-smiley-069:
But yeah your Right MathewZ, i think its just to tacky now.. :whistling: :whistling:


Fair enough, I don't think anyone's ever built a car that has been universally loved, so you're better off building it for the person to whom it matters most: yourself.

Good luck.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
