Folks,

I have a Silver R33 S1 GTS-t - Its got an M-Spec (i think) kit on it (Higher than stock rear spoiler, Meshed front bar, Side skirts) Also have some 17' wheels - they are nice, but nothing too fancy. It's already had the suspension lowered.

I'm looking to make the car look a little more Unique so I've been tossing up ideas - Wanting to know what you guys though would do the job (without spending zillions of dollars on it) - Oh and not too ricey OK.

What should I do ??

* New Front Bar ?? (may not go with skirts & rear wing tho)

* Swap wheels ?? (18's or 19"s - too many concerns here - getting them nicked, scratched, and not the best for riding around town on considering my rock hard TEIN)

* Wild rear wing ?? (Would that look nice on Silver ?? Looks good on White, Black and Yellow)

* Eyelids ??

* Thought about C/F bonnet, but not good on Silver

* Full re-spray in wild colour (too expensive)

* Turn into a convertible (joke)

* Air Brush naked women on bonnet (another joke)

* Trade in on Silvia/180 (bad joke) :P

Anyone got any ideas ?? I'm Farked in the creative/styling depatment.

Thanks

i reckon you should get a new front bar, wing and 18's;)

I've only really seen C/F bonnets on White & Yellow cars - I guess cause they contrast so much. With Silver, I thought the colours would be close, so there wouldn't much to see.

Anyone got pics of a silver sky with C/F bonnet and/or Wild rear wing ?? OR for that matter any Silver Line that is wild looking ??

That 2nd pic is a $33,000.00 Kakimoto body kit (No joke) :P

I got the same car as you brendanf same colour year and all.

Iv been thinking about getting a series 2 conversion done to the front with a standard series 2 front bar with the nismo chin spoiler.

All i can say is, F**Kin HOT!

Ask Robo to send some pic's of his car to you and know will know wat i mean,

Its got the same sideskirts and wing as you but his got the nismo chin spoiler and that thing looks hot,

In m opinon thats all you need body wise,

Then i would invest in some DEEP DISH rims so you can run Higher profile tires without dwarfing the rims.

Bigger profile good, bigger profile on non deep dish rims (joke) :)

Dun get the T wing man, iv seen some on r33 and blardy RICE! hard!!

thats my 2c,

If i can get a pic of ROBO's car i will post it here for you all to see..

Just one mean looking gtst :0

i think the 1st GT-R looks the best!!! Brendanf CF bonnets look good on any colour really just depends on how u want to make the car look. I will hopefully be looking for a frontbar in the near future but i where do u get good quality ones from that dont chip and wobble around as u drive? how much they cost?

Croat try body form,

There kits are by far the best i have seen. So sturdy and strong,

ehhehe, don't goto jet *****, (wait thats too obvious) ***speed

thats beta,

They will just hack @ your reinforcement bar and hold your bar up with 2 screws and 3 cable ties..

Don't ask...

Thanks for all the input - this is good stuff. Keep it coming......

Merlis silver R33 started life looking like yours, with the addition of a GTR front bar, 400R rear bar, GTR wing and skirts it looks gorgeous.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
