Sure, you will find lots of pics of R33 GT-R's... where they belong,  on a GTR, not on a wanabe GTR.

Meh, it's not really a huge deal IMO. But the GTR bumper definitely does not fit a stock GTST unless you do the whole front-end swap. The R33 GTST 40th anniversary supposedly has this optional bumper though that I think looks pretty good and theoretically should fit up like OEM?:

tbh if I had a 33 I would be putting a GTR bodykit on it. There's merit in OEM plastic and steel over fibreglass etc etc etc. I never was able to find rear guards for a R33 GTST-> GTR conversion mind you, but as I do not have a R33 this is quite a minor issue for me personally 😛

The R33 I think makes a lot more sense to do a GTR conversion, the GTST front end is just kind of strange from the factory for reasons I don't quite understand. Even then I'd struggle to justify all the work it takes to do the change properly. Parts are insanely hard to source and cost a mint when you do.

fibreglass version, it's made to fit the smaller fenders and narrow body bumper support.

This guy took out the reinforcement bar to do a test fit of the GTR bumper on his S2 GTS25t:

here's the resulting gap

So even S1 to S2 is different.

Woohoo!  A helpful response lol. It’d be easy to put a spacer under the bumper to lift it up so it sits without a gap. Looks like a good fit. Thank you!!!

'sif you'd fit a genuine GTR bar to a 33 GTST anyway, these days. The fact that fibreglass "GTR" bars for GTSTs exist should be sufficient to indicate how it should be done if you want it to look that way, and fit.

I have a fiberglass GTR replica now. But I daily the car, and fiberglass breaks too easy. I don’t want to have to be super cautious on speedbumps, or pulling up to parking spots, or dips in the road. I just hate fiberglass body parts.

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
