Project GT-R33

[Keebs ð¿ð]

Alright guys, I'm finally going to post up some pics on the progress of the R33. For those of you who remember the car when I first bought it, it was pretty banged up. Lots of dents, chipping paint, quite a few problems. Here's pics of it when I first bought it:







And here's pics of it now. Its in the progress of having the full GT-R conversion done. It's a GTS-T so it has a completely different body from the gtr. the GTR has wider fenders, longer front bumper, black housing headlights, wider rear 1/4's and side skirts. Also a taller and wider spoiler.

























The pics of the wheels don't do it justice. The paint is Black Sparkle pearl and when I'm finished the lip will be repolished chrome. I haven't cleared the wheels yet so I don't have any pics of them with the lip untaped. But I will post some probably monday after they get cleared. The car will be painted pearl white with frost blue clearcoat and should be done by next weekend.

okay let me get this straight


you go from ricing out a Celica
to a Neon SRT-4
and buy a Skyline on the side which you are converting into a GT-R
while looking for something to replace the Neon?

Damn dude nice project..Still poor mans skyline... But its still a skyline.... Whats next after body plans?

The car was pretty rough when I first bought it. Needed some interior pieces as well. I have bride seats ordered, new steering wheel and replacement oem carpet. Once the body gets done I will start building the motor. I'm keeping the rb25 in it. I'm only looking to get maybe 450 rwhp out of it when I'm done, I don't want anything extreme as far as power wise

Vtec > all

Vtec > all

Well you know the RB motors from '93 and up have a form of variable valve timing, not as strong as vtec. Well maybe, kind of feels like the vtec from a D16 or something lol. Maybe like a little 25 shot of ni-trax. Don't know what rpm it's SUPPOSE to hit, but mine has a worn out timing belt and everything is way out of tune and it doesn't hit until 6,500 rpms

hell yea...18k miles in under a year and loving everyone of them miles

[R3RUN]

But you drive a porsche. There are only two times you will hate driving it.

1) When you pick up parts and look at the price tag while driving.
2) When you crash it.

Other than that, driving a porsche is pretty much the shit.

[Frög]

hell yea...18k miles in under a year and loving everyone of them miles

damn thats alot..

aye keebs, is that a civic in your driveway? are you painting it?

[Keebs ð¿ð]

Well I've pretty much changed since I posted that lol. I've driven the car ALOT since then, put about 20,000 Kilos on the car in past 6 months.




Oh ya, an update on Import showdown... As long as the weather holds out. I'll the car down there Primered front half and black rear half with bondo and sanding marks all over the car lol

I have and survived. Too bad.

[SL33P3R]

I dont get how people are gonna say this is the poormans Skyline. Brian has worked his ass off for this skyline, a good condition R33GTs-t can go for $19,000-$21,000 . Alot of people on here couldnt afford that. I know it aint the GTR, but Brian is happy with it and thats all that matters


Outphase- Brians got some serious plans for this thing, its not his DD so he can work on this car all he wants, SRT-4 FTW

Brian hurry up and get her done bro!

ACCUALLY i agree with taylor its a skyline end of story i wish i could own one man keep it up fuck the haters your shit is nice and id trade my supra any day for a skyline end of story

[Keebs ð¿ð]

ACCUALLY i agree with taylor its a skyline end of story i wish i could own one man keep it up fuck the haters your shit is nice and id trade my supra any day for a skyline end of story

And at one point in time I was actually considering trading the r33 for a MKIV, maybe in a year or so down the road we'll have to talk

[aemkitfox]

ACCUALLY i agree with taylor its a skyline end of story i wish i could own one man keep it up fuck the haters your shit is nice and id trade my supra any day for a skyline end of story

And I would trade all three of my cars for either of yours.

BTW,.....nut on a skyline.....omg.

[Outphase]

Apparently you didn't interpret what I said correctly, did I say daily drive the damn thing? No. I said DRIVE the damn thing...meaning..


TAKE IT TO THE TRACK, MOUNTAINS, LEARN TO DRIVE THE CAR, HAVE THE ABILITY TO TAKE THE CAR TO A NEW LEVEL. Use what you pay for, because what you are doing to the car, you can do to a 240, and make it look like something it's not.

As far as the car being 19-20k, that is not expensive, you talk like it's a million dollars. Is the car legalized? if so, for that price, then it's not that bad, and are you sure it's a REAL skyline?

Yes they are legalized

Apparently you have trouble reading. Um...Skylines were never made in the USA or anything, Since when did USA have RHD vehicles?

You don't have trouble reading, but you have a problem writing. So... you can't spell or anything like that, right? But you're not an idiot. Right.

[TurboSam]

are you sure it's a REAL skyline?

didnt realize they made fake skylines.

[Keebs ð¿ð]

Not to revive a dead thread, but *coughs* This is some of the work my brother has done with the car since I sold it to him

Better yet, to even truly go for the true JDM look, buy a 94 Civic, used, and get a Skyline GT-R body kit conversion. Fraction of the cost, with all the same look.

Ya great idea, lets give up the rwd rb25 turbo for a fwd d16. Looks nothing like a skyline, regardless of what you do to it, it will still be a civic, take it to the nopi show or any other car show for that matter and see 250 of the exact same cars. Or buy the skyline because I love these cars, have a rhd, authentic skyline. Not some 240 with a conversion, can turn around resell it for almost 10g's more than I paid for it because it was damaged and live it up being the attention whore that I am. Dude you're a dumbass, leave now before you make yourself look anymore like an idiot. The car is a true skyline, it's registered as a skyline, VIN# ECR33055***. so stfu or gtfo... hater

B.E.T. makes you very powerful, Mr.

What's your name? So you are important now because you drive a "legalized" Skyline? Whenever you get done fixing up your "GT-R" Conversion, I challenge you to a mountain race, or even yet, auto-cross if you don't want to lose your car in the mountains. I highly doubt you can drive that car better than a random soccer mom on the highway with her 5000 lb minivan.

Go back to jacking off while watching intial D... I'm not racing this car in the mountains or on autocross, I didn't buy it to race, if I wanted a fast car I could've bought a mkiv supra, or even a old mr2 and dumped the extra cash into making it fast. This car was bought to make it a show car, it will be trailered across the us to be displayed at shows. Its not a daily driver, its not a 'race or drift car' it will rarely be driven on the road. So you can't grasp the concept that I wanted to spend money on a car that won't be driven, oh well. I couldn't really give two shits what you think. And as far as I'm concerned you're just another jealous ricer.. And there really isn't much you can say that will change my perspective of you. So e-thug if you feel it nessicary because I can assure you, nothing you can say to me will change the fact that I have a car that I wanted, and I'm doing what I wanted to do to it. Everyone chooses to express themselves differently, I just prefered to do it with a car you don't see every day
