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...

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.

    • I found a supplier for an arm in NZ. https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-rh-side?srsltid=AfmBOopMdfCFDc_8yVZZ9kq5nIngPHRTBzUU8v4SAptJaRO52Wjs0bC6 I looked closely at the photo of that one and the Z1 arm, and it's the same bloody arm. Scratches all match in the photo 😂 How hard is it to change that joint? Also they seem to be listing two options https://thrashgaragenz.com/products/nissan-skyline-v35-z33-350z-front-lower-straight-arm-balljoint-rh-side?_pos=1&_sid=229acde44&_ss=r And now I have no idea what size I'd need yay
    • Ill review it again, from memory when I first saw some of Trailer Park Boys I wasn't a huge fan. I ended up at Letter Kenny after watching Shoresy, which is a bit ass backward, ha ha
    • "lol dunno" either But like you, I can't see any reason they would need to be different LHD to RHD
    • I agree with you WRT the hard top. MX5's may be one of the better looking soft tops but I cannot think of ANY car, EVER that looks better with a soft top vs a hard top (or a designed roof). At all, ever. I also feel this way about the C5 Vette, the Z06 looks horrible compared to it's original form, it has an exaggerated version of the differences you're talking about.  
    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
