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.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
