    Has anyone replaced their indicator surround? Mine has gotten discoloured prob due to moisture. Looks like there's a few clips that hold it in place. Or is it a waste of time and I should replace the whole tailight?

    Got the blow torch and heated it up well. Smashed it with a hammer to loosen it then managed to get it out with pliers and a vice grip.

    I'll try a blow torch and pry bar next. What do you mean by shock it off?

    Tried the Dremel but might’ve made it worse and cutting more than i should. Not sure what it's going to take to get it off. Trying to soak it in vinegar if that will even do anything.

    What Dremel model would you use?

    Changing the old coilovers in the Skyline for brand new ones. Front driver was rusted on at the bottom where the 17mm nut is. I used a ball joint splitter on it which got the coilover out but it's left the inner metal ring with the rubber on it. I've used Wd40 Penetrant, shock treatment with a hammer, and heated it up with a heat gun but it won't budge. Any suggestions? Have a couple of pics attached for reference. Cheers

    I've heard coilovers are a bit on the stiff side? I don't really want to be bumping around especially on Sydney streets. Are coilovers legal for the R33? Thanks for the recommendation but it appears they're in VIC? Anyone to recommend in Sydney?

    Hi all, I'm after recommendations on a Street suspension set up for an R33. From what I can see the Bilstein B6 shocks are good but need some decent springs to go with it - and it appears King Springs don't sell any that suit the R33 anymore. Whiteline sway bars seem to be a popular mod as well to eliminate the body roll. Would I be able to achieve a lower than stock ride height using the Bilsteins? At the moment the car is sitting at 63cm from ground to the centre of the wheel arch on some old Apexi shocks. Thanks in advance

    Hi all, The black paint on my r33 has been peeling. Can anyone please recommend a reputable paint shop in Sydney where I could get a respray. I'm not keen on doing a backyard job to fix it up. As a side note, roughly how much percentage value do you reckon the car would lose due to peeling paint such as this? Cheers

    Hi all, Does anyone have a factory r33 gtst exhaust system they wouldn't mind parting with? Need it to clear a defect.
  12. BlackLine33
    Thanks for the tips, I'll see how I go. I hope they can still get an accurate reading as my tacho currently reads over 9000.

    Hi All, Can anyone point me in the right direction to an exhaust shop in Sydney that will have an exhaust system available for compliance with the EPA regulations for an R33 Gtst? I recently got an EPA notice saying that my exhaust is too loud and I need to have the sound checked to comply with 90db at 4800rpm and ensure it meets emission requirements. I currently know I have a turbo back Xforce exhaust system but it looks like it may not have a catalytic converter due to the previous owner. Perhaps a factory r33 exhaust system will do as I'm not wanting to spend exorbitant amounts if I can.

    Hi JDM33R do you happen to remember the wheels this skyline had? Like ROTA Grids? Red wheel nuts? Can't really see through the photo. Only asking because my skyline which looks very similar to this got stolen. Luckily it was recovered a couple of days ago with damaged ignition barrel and some scratches.

    Not too sure how this turned into a flaming thread.. Didn't ask for anyone's opinion on the coil packs I bought. Anyway I got a working afm and it has seemed to fix the problem. Thanks to the guys who provided feedback about my problem.

    The reason I went with YJs is for the post sale support. Heard the splitfire manufacturer is a bitch to deal with.
