personally i reckon gtr kits are nice, so whats the matter with it being on a non-gtr? as long as theres no gtr badge hanging on the back trying to impersonate, whats wrong with just makin the car look better?

anyways, i got a gtr kit on teh 32.. so maybe im bias :D

s.

krush: Theres more gtr body kits than actual gtrs on the road, thats why it shits me :D

Most people I have met with actual GTR's (particularly the guys with the 33 GTRs, as 33's are the most common to receive the dress up treatment) will nod in agreement when the subject of sheep in wolves clothing comes up.. I doubt they will smash your windscreen in fury, because they probably respect all skylines, but just dont expect them to send any love your way..

:Bang:

Yup...im currently running a stock turbo. As for the GTR grill and wing thingie....sorry if it pisses any GTR owners off...they came with the car and i rather not spend money having to remove and replace them :headspin:

By...i must say, the GTR kit looks good though :D

old 93 skyline with cheap mods like bleed valve and high km's... not something I would buy myself.

I think you paid to much.

silver gts-t:

it could be worse.. i've seen a few s13s with '33 gtr wings.. :)

Infact the guy who came over to inspect my s13 when I was selling it had the SR20DE (read: non turbo) with a 33 GTR wing.. he was saying how he was going to swap the boot lids..

I told him I wasnt too interested in having my girl bastardised and wanted her to go to a good home. he never called back. ;)

you paid about right.

as long as its good condition, and FMIC, 5 zigen zorst, 18" wheels arnt cheap mods.

half the stuff has been bone on this car already, think about it if he sold the mods he would get a minumum $3k back so thats a stock 33 for $13.5k. pretty good i think

i would invest in a better alarm.

thats a sin

I think thats about standard price for a 93 model. It has some decent mods.

Main thing would be to check it doesnt have any oil leaks, or other problems with the engine. Problems with the chassis. Whether the kms are genuine or not, etc.

But ultimately, so long as you are happy with it, that is the main thing.

I sold my 33 GTS-T a year ago for 18k. No mods, 95 model Series 1.5. In pretty good condition. So I suppose 16.5k for a 93 with mods isnt too bad either :)

i bout my gtst s1.5 1 1/2 yrs ago for $16500, stock as a rock, but came with the gtr kit, personally not my favourite kit for skylines but compared to the stocko no-kits one its deffo better, and no it doesn't mean we r trying to impersonate gtr's haven't met a single person yet who has axctually installed a gtr kit themselves, most of them come from japan like this

u got a good buy, especially so modded

I think as long as they dont put the GTR badge on, its a nice and tasteful mod as it makes the gts-t's look much better. After all, whats wrong with making your ride look nice?

BTW, you really should get over it. If you want exclusivity, maybe you should go out and buy something 'more exclusive'? after all, an r32 gtr or r33 gtr is getting pretty damn affordable nowadays. Unless of course you cant afford it, in which case you really shouldnt be complaining :cheers:

    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
    • Sounds like the oil pressure light is wired into the oil temp sensor... As it warms up, resistance on temp sensor reduces, hence more current can flow and the dash light gets brighter.
