Man you are a genuine tool. Good on ya.

If the gtrs complete you I think you will find it is you with the inferiority complex.

anyway, you have a lot to learn about everything so I'll leave you be to figure out some important life lessons. Rethink choices, contemplate naval etc.

No need to reply. Just as per every other completely nonsensical arguing you have put forward it gets you, and everyone else, no where.

peace out. Go drive a gtr slowly around the place enjoying all that awd has to offer.

Alright mate. Good on ya.

I’m praying to the skyline gods that the build/mod thread for this car is nowhere near as controversial as this introduction ???

Bored people who over paid for their $40k coupes :P 

I miss my R32 GTS-t, was loads of fun to drive around, even in traffic and crappy roads. Completely standard, sunroof, easy on fuel, lightweight (chuckable). Shame my dad wrapped it around a pole, now I have a GT-R that's too harsh to drive around on the roads all the time (I started modding it for track work), oh well.

Your car looks good. I'd personally go the Type M front bumper as I think the fog lights in it look better than the tacked on GT-R bumper ones.

Yeah yeah I see what you mean with the front bumper- 2 options I’m considering. Still undecided ?‍♂️ 

1- gtr bumper and getting new mesh and remove lights

2- going to type m with standard spot lamps

I can agree with the statement. I miss my old GTS-t also. I hardly drive my GTR now.

Yes and no.  Or, more correctly, no and yes.  Guards have nothing to do with bonnet and grille fitting.  GTR grille does only mount off of GTR headlights.

I have GTR bonnet, grille, headlights & bumper on my car, with GTSt guards.  The proper GTR bumper is slightly too wide/wrong shape to be squeezed onto GTSt guards, but it does fit.  There are repro GTR bumpers made to suit GTSts without that extra little bit of width.

It's possible that there are probably imitation/fake GTR grilles available somewhere that can mount onto a GTSt front end without having to have the right headlights, but I've never looked into it.  I say this because of the existence of GTR style bumpers to go on GTSts....there would need to be a way to fit the grille without having to have the headlights too.

Having said all that, in this day and age of 3D printers and Sikaflex, it should actually be possible to come up with something to stick onto GTSt headlights that would provide the GTR grille mounts.

      Will r33 gtr front reo fit on r33 gtst series 1?

      Found the answer: it wont fit without a bit of work- you'd have to change the guards as well

      New lightweight, square wheel/tyre combo for the E90

      Ok cool, because I do have some OEM BMW options for light(er) wheels. 17x8.5 M Sport wheels are 11kg and I could put 255's on them. Maybe that's an initial test.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So, in the effort of pulling apart airboxes and testing enclosures to see if this aids in MAP loss at WOT I noticed: 1) The ducts up the OEM intercooler holes from the front bar help IAT drastically, whether the pod is shielded from the engine bay by an airbox missing a lid, or an airbox WITH a lid. Plus you get more induction sound without the lid. Having half the airbox (with no lid) acting as a barrier to the headers seems to help. 2) For shits and giggles I checked the TB. This was full pedal travel. This is actually full travel of the TB. Photos aren't perfect, but there was definitely an amount of play in it and it wasn't against the stop. After much swearing and adjusting the pedal, I realised that the cable is actually too long for the skyline pedal travel to fully articulate it. Having the pedal adjusted so WOT was actually hard open on WOT resulted in an idle of 3500rpm. As an aside, this was also the TPS registering at 3.1%. I removed the above to give the pedal enough travel to actually fully open the TB. I now get a satisfying 'thonk' on full open and full closed which you can hear pumping the pedal as it hits the TB stops (with the bonnet open and intake back on). Luckily for me, the screw screws into a raised metal boss under this plastic piece that is now acting as the new throttle stop. I've gained about 20mm (ish) of pedal travel and I can move it maybe a mm or two post open-thonk before it's hard against the stop. After all of this I did a bit of road tuning because a 102MM throttle is sensitive. The difference between holding an 950rpm idle and instantly stalling is about 0.4% of TPS movement. Will that help? I suppose it can't hurt. I set 'closed' point back to where it was, I can definitely feel the extra pedal travel that is needed to actually open the TB fully. But this morning I dropped the car off at Paint Jail again, so who knows when this will re-eventuate out to see if it helps with the top of the dyno hitting a ceiling.

      Looking for someone with a R34 front bar

      Take heart that everyone else seems to have found a way. The OEM S1 indicators do slot in pretty firmly. It may simply be a case of having them sit slightly looser and nobody actually ever noticed this when attempting to remove a indicator from a JSAI bar :p
