  1. Not all convertible conversions have underperforming chassis, some like mine will actually handle better than their original counterparts (most won't though). My K is stiffer than an original one with a roof. It has had 3mm x 100mm x 50mm x 1.5m long steel box sections connecting the front and rear subframes, plates at the bottom of the a pillar, the entire rear seating area has been plated from b pillar to b pillar. It can now lift 3 wheels in the air with one jack. Once you've owned a vert (assuming you live in a nice climate) you'll always want one in the garage.
  2. pm sent, I'm after the drivers window switches
  3. Well then you'll be very happy with what I've done to my Skyline convertible, V8 motor, Gtr brakes, multi link irs and still running the original seats and interior and steering wheel.
  4. Would I be correct in assuming you fall into the category of people who think big plastic body kits look cool?
  5. I should be there, flying the C110 banner. My vert won't be finished tho but who gives a, as long as it makes the drive from QLD
  6. convertible Skyline? yes it has been done! and if you think they look shit, you can go #%@* yourself
  7. For Sale 1994 R33 GTS-T Skyline RB25det Manual $6000 I'm selling it cheap as I have just bought a 07 4x4 hilux The Good It has been used as a daily driver without any problems. It is mod plated for a turbo, piping and intercooler but only has a modified intercooler on it, still running std turbo. The mod plate info hasn't got a brand of turbo listed so you can put on whatever type you want. Nismo mags and 300km dash. 3inch turbo back exhaust. 300zx ecu New tyres, 95% tread I have just gotten a roadworthy for it without any issues, this is current till mid january LED taillights The car drives nice with a minimal bodyroll but still doesn't destroy your spine on a long drive. I was going to keep this as a toy but the gf won't approve so it has to go . . . something about a 1 skyline at a time rule. The Bad The timing belt was replaced recently but when it was done the bearings in the pulleys weren't replaced, they now make noise and will need to be replaced. 8 ball gearstick (sooooo lame) stupid blow off valve that doesn't work, this should be replaced Window switches need to be replaced Don't text with stupid offers, I won't respond Call Andrew on 040 666 55 45
  8. Do you still have the ignition barrel + key + door locks? Cheers
  9. The coupe is up for sale again, make me an offer
  10. That depends on if you can do the job yourself, if so it will cost $40 for replacement bearings minimum, you should really do the water pump which I'm not sure of the cost, at the same time. The timing belt that's in it has only had a couple of thousand kms on it but some would replace that as well. I had planned to do it all my \self but started a new job and had to buy the ute. the clock says 157076 but as you can see the numbers aren't nice and even so it's suspect. To confuse matters more the transport dept have it listed at 166,000kms. The engine has been replaced recently and was supposedly 80,000ish k's, this was when they put the new belt in and didn't bother with the bearings. If your keen it's best to come and see the car as it's surprisingly good for the price. I spent a long time finding one so nice and cheap but am not allowed it as a company car so it has to go. I'm not greedy so I'm passing on my savings to whoever buys it. There is no point having two skylines as toy cars so the 33 has to go.

The Good It has been used as a daily driver without any problems. Aircon works fine just been regassed a month ago.

Led tail lights The Bad The timing belt was replaced recently but when it was done the bearings weren't replaced, they now make noise and will need to be replaced. The fuel pump works fine but makes an annoying noise. 8 ball gearstick (sooooo lame) stupid blow off valve that doesn't work Other than that the car is fine. Test drives are welcome but I won't be letting anyone behind the wheel until they show me the money! I can meet people at Garden City or near there. Call Andrew on 040 666 55 45 It is the Beetroot coloured (someone actually had it resprayed this colour) 33 behind my gf, I'll post more pictures in time to come.
  12. That's my little hottie import from the UK When she agreed to get into the boot of the vert and touch up the hard to reach areas I couldn't spray into I knew I was onto something good. This is probably more the kind of shot you we're after though.
  13. I was right near the end of the line and myself and the guys in front were waving to a lot of the people trying to get somewhere. At the Curtis Falls turn off there was a large line of cars like no other I have ever seen on Tambo (I grew up there) who didn't look too happy. We should have gone up a different way regardless of the condition of the road. It would have been much better to skirt around the base of the mountain through Canungra and go up the goat track (this rd is seriously wicked with hairpin after hairpin), the army live firing signs add to the appeal of the rd. It does have the only traffic light on Tambo but that's because it goes down to one lane width. Most of my shots didn't turn out nice but here are a few that did.
  14. I used these guys recently Jobson's 14 Young St Annerley QLD 4103 (07) 3393 0934‎ They were a lot cheaper than any other quote I had and did a good job. It's two old guys working from a garage on mainly older style cars. Hope it helps
