  1. Im doing everything when it comes to preparation such as alignment and adjusting parts, stripping it down and also sanding it down, myself, good way of learning new things and it'll feel nice when its done The only thing i dont do myself is the laying the paint and airbrushing, havent got myself into that yet
  2. Thanks man! Heres a pic of some details; taillights, sidemirrors, grill and doorhandles. They're all done and gives an idea of how the paint looks
  3. Hopefully itll have that unique look to it, without taking it to far The original idea was to go for a race/drift/timw-attack look, with tons of vinyls but somewhere on the road it took a turn for something else The millenium paint is getting a bit darker, and getting a nice depth thanks to the clear coat. I saw it painted with only 2 layers and no extra sanding, it looked great but flat! The only thing that worries me somewhat is that i've always thought that an R33 shouldnt be painted green, doesnt fit the sort of lame/dull shapes of it. And then i went and painted mine green Ill update with pics of it in the beginning of next week, got to hurry though, im going to a carshow on thursday morning and getting some parts on monday, the rest on tuesday afternoon... So im planning to get forgiven by God for painting the CF and try to get him to change a day from 24 to 36 hours.. Hope it works
  4. I've spent the last couple of months adjusting new wider front and rear fenders for my R33 GTSt. It was going to get a big airbrush paintjob on the sides, but keeping the original Light Silver paint as a base. All of this went to pieces as i used a hot air blower to get rid of our company vinyls on the sides. Everything was going well when i pulled off the vinyls but then they started to go 'POP'.. leaving me big spots where the paint had stuck on the vinyls. This was appaerently because of bad work preparing for new paint from an earlier accident. I couldnt decide what new color to go for, thought of all neon-colors i could but i like the factory look so after some real headbanging i went for the greenish 'Millenium Jade' found on the R34 GTR V-Spec II Nür. But i still wanted too do something fun with the fenders, my priginal thought was to use screws to fit them, and really show the screws as they give a raw look to it. This i couldnt to cause the material was to thin. Fortunatly a friend if mine stopped by and said i might as well paint some pops on them. And then it grew to getting some rust-effect to it. This was all good but not 100% great until another friend of mine told me, since i already was going to paint my Carbonfiber-bonnet (this is the whole Forgive me father-part), to paint some on the bonnet aswell! I know not all like CF painted but i think this will connect the style of the rear fenders with the style on the front I'm going to get the trunk-lockhole painted too just to get it all connected in some way to each other. Heres how it all looks with 2 layers of clear coat on, sanded with 800-paper and getting another 2 layers of clear coat:
  5. That could help, i do hear both the relay and engine click but if the contact is bad it might not get efficient current. I guess i could test that by feeding the engine directly, bypassing any relay, switch or contacts THX for your comment!
  6. Hey! The summer is coming around up here in sweden and its getting hotter and hotter, so now is the time for the power window to.. welll work I've pulled the doorside apart and checked the relay, works as it should, also the motor give a 'click' when i've pressed the button for about 3 seconds. This goes for both directions. The power window engine is getting hot when i've tried to use it several times so its getting current. What do you think? Could it be a bracket or bar that has jammed up or has the engine gone bye bye? Cheers!
  7. Its a build from a local tuning shop here in Sweden, Autotech as said in the sheet They know their stuff, had time to to talk somewhat with em when a friend of mine mapped his Autronic controlled WRX STI on ethanol. Had this one in at the time.. gives you the creeps.... Got a couple of Evo's around here with 'big' hp's, many of them mapped at Autotech
  8. I just had to try.. Came out pretty good i think!

  10. Modified the pic in PSP. Planning to paint the spokes blue, or gold Might do both, blue on the rear ones and gold on the front wheels.

  13. Constantly evolving New front and rear fenders, widens the car by approx. 35-40mm on each side. Rear fenders are GTR's, modified to be abit wider and screwed in place, with screws showing for a bit more raw-feeling.
