R33 gtst s1

[Andrew200sx]

So for an update on this thing, i raffeled off my rx7 (love it or hate it, i didnt want people wasting my time) i just came to terms and realised that it was far too clean to do what i originally set out to do(drift it) and cut my losses before i got too deep into a money pit. i had actually bought the r33 to do an rb25 engine conversion on the rx7. but the calculator came out and the end figure was just insane. anyways Trevor Murphy Won the car. Hopfully it will see a road soon, it will be getting a 13b transplanted back in. But anyway more to the point, i havnt realy got much time for the r33 to be honest, between working and family. but i am getting there. plan to have it running without any faults by the end of February (had originally tought id have it going for a few days out over the summer...iv had a bit of time to get it sorted. theirs not much left to do, kinda loosing intrest in this one aswell as it just seems like a never ending money pit like any other car i buy....


was driving it for a bit, then this happened....

soooo i blew the clutch, pressure plate shattered and busted an 8inch hole trough the side of the bellhousing.... which resulted in having to replace a clutch, flywheel and box. i had an unlknown aftermarket clutch kit in it. only after dropping the box i discovered it was an XTD clutch kit, googled it, and supposibly common for them to just explode under load. not a good item to buy if you want to keep your
legs. so i went and put an exedy clutch, nismo lightweight flywheel and a rebuilt box back in.

interior pic.....



painted rocker covers and fitted mani



got rid of the old fmic, for a new one bigger core and pipework directed a different way.
old one..


new one..


had to order bushes for the front coilovers off quantum, i boght these coilovers 2nd hand and the bushes were missing. could not get over how much qunatum wanted for 2 bushes, 1 on each coilover.....140pound stirling for 2 of them

i may be interested in selling the rear quantum coilovers if anyone is interested.
these are supposibly the best coilover money can buy for an r33 gtr going from reviews on gtr.co.uk. starting price on the is 3000pound stirling from what iv read aswell.

exterior wise, it will be staying similar to how its looking now....just until i get some more seat time.
done a general tidy up of the weather worn paint underneath


pulled the loom up over the arch liner so i could run the car a bit lower


DIY'd up a splitter from the womans old accord cl7 rear bumper.


fitted a nismo style bonnet vent i bought from the lads at tyrehangar.



painted it up, made some headlight eyebrows to give it a bit of agression, the spec 1 r33 is pretty boring loking in my opinion. also tinted the headlights.....


i have a set of full GTR overs to go on the rear, have some 50mm rivit on arches to go on over the gtr's and on the front arches i plan on cutting the steel arches and putting rivit on arches, i picked these up from the lads in tyre hangar aswell, the wuality and fitment on all the fiberglass they sell is perfect quality. il eventaully be running my Work VS-XX wheels after i get dishes bought, they will be roughly 18x13 on the rear and 18x10.5 up front. just for looks . still need to modify the hubs on for some more extra lock.

this is the cars current state, i know the red sun visor is marmite, but i like it. and thats all that matters, right?








have a Dmac wing blade i am currently getting legs made up for, it will be replicating the BigCountryLabs wing.

its currently sitting low mounted, which i actually like...



thats all the updates i have so far....will get more as i go along.

I think the sun visor looks deadly! Good match on the visor and paint! That wing is enormous!! Also, lovin the jap plates

[mk2glenn]

It was all going great til the bolt on arches but you'll need them to cover the wheels I suppose.

I still think you should sell me the SPG

yeah it was a good enough match, the car is a basic enough red...i bought an off the shelf aerosol can to paint the bonnet vent and color match is perfect lol. the wing blade is quite big, its is almost the width from both ends of the mirrors of the car.

ah i know lad, not sure on them myself. but i couldnt do much otherwise. because i want to run big wheels. and theirs no other type arches that i was 100% on.
