R33 black beast restoration
AARR34 replied to AARR34's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
Yeah until you realise how much wrongdoing has been applied. There's zip locks holding one side of the front bar and duck tape holding the other side. Mixed spark plugs, random dodgey coil and few other things that don't belong there only indicate to me that the owner literally installed whatever he could get his hands on. They say money can't buy brains, I get it now. -
yeah it happens in idle and gets less noticeable as the revs climb. I just hope its nothing major to do with the motor. I'm getting new plugs to go in with the coils. The owner had mixed plugs and 3 of them require a larger socket to take out. I don't get why people do that

I went through one can of paint and one can of clear. Think it totalled around $30-$40 but they were 2pak cans. Might even be less than that. Get 2 cans of paint and one clear. The second one can be a back up

You won't need 3 cans for the boot. You'll hardly get through one. Spray guns are good but only if you know how to use them Professionally. Also you'll need a booth for a proper pro job. i wouldn't go spray gun unless you're painting the whole car. i did my boot lid with 2pak cans. Looks like factory finish

Refill and smoothen the holes. Spray acrylic primer ($12-14 at super cheap. take your petrol cap off and take it to a paint shop. Have them make the paint in 2pak cans and get a can of 2pac clear. Wet sand primer. Use wax and grease remover over area being painted. Apply paint then a day later apply clear. The cans with the hardener will give a nice finish. Just don't get trigger happy and spray too much at once. Spray one coat wait 15 then another light coat good luck

Rb25 det running poorly - coil related? not sure if related to the coil or dirty plugs but my rb25 seems to run with a struggle in low rev range. The rev range is not smooth and feels like its spitting. It has 5 red jacket coils and 1 standard coil which the previous owner diagnosed as the cause of the issue. Im in the process of removing plugs and just needed a confirm from others who have had this issue resolved. is it the odd coil, dirty plugs, or both? Thanks

Either wet sand with 2000grit sandpaper on both headlights until original surface is exposed. Then spray 2 coats of clear over both headlights and should look like new again. you can also try paint thinners or turps to remove the tint (if painted tint). shouldnt need new headlights

R33 black beast restoration It all began over a week ago with cash in my hand after selling of my 2012 Holden Cruze. I had little cash and was expecting to buy a lemon or something jdm that needed repairs. The project was set into motion the day I inspected a black R33 manual that needed much attention to the body and other minor areas. i paid the deposit and the listing was removed the day it was listed. I was not going to give up this opportunity. As the picture indicates, the door has faded clear and the roof pretty much needed a respray. Bonnet has faded clear and that gtr wing was going off for sale. The car has LED tail lights and the body did not have any dents or needing major work. Gearbox and motor is mint condition. GTR front bar. 18" wheels. Hd clutch. Spare turbo (AR .70) gt 3582. Trust intercooler. Bov. Coil pack. Boost t. 3" exhaust to hks superdrager muffler. Full body kit and some spare parts. Will post repair pictures along with current state shortly.

Hi everyone, Just putting up my car for sale after many years of modifications and spending stupid money This car has been owned by me (2nd owner) over the last 2.5 years and has received the best of everything. Very well maintained and still in good condition given the age of the car. I am reselling this car as I had some idiots when I tried boostcruising Details of car: - 2JZ-GE converted turbo - Garrett turbo (450hp) - External gate with screamer - EBC - 3inch turbo back exhaust (high-flow cat) - SAFC 2 Neo tuned to supply fuel for 6psi - no leaning issues - JVC MP3 DVD player - 15" MTX audio sub - Strut baces - 19' XHP boost rims - Genuine Veilside kit - S2 rear lights + black S1 headlights - HD clutch - Sparco torino seats (red) - gauges - leather interior including roof - HKS SSQV (usually compressor surge is louder ) The car is clean and healthy considering the turbo conversion. It has been turboed over the past 15000kms and has never missed a beat, broken down, or pulled over by cops. I drive this thing sensibly on the weekends as I wanted it as a project that could be driven. The car was imported in 2001 with a new motor at 104000kms. Currently it sits at 190,000kms which are legit and never changed. Car is currently receiving new timing belt, new main seal, new oil and filter, has new plugs, replaced gearbox oil etc... Reason I am selling it is because I miss R34's and always had a weak spot for that ass. This car is currently tuned to 340wrhp hitting only 6psi of boost. I also have an Emanage Ultimate with harness and 3bar senson, 6 x 550cc precision injectors which I will either install or sell with car. This will increase the power to roughly 450rwhp. Personalised plates (Laterz) are included. the engine is immaculate and sounds healthy. no odd sounds and no white smoke from exhaust. Serious buyers only. Dont expect test drives so easily unless you have funds or a real nice R34. Other members can vouch for this car as they have seen it in person. Its a beast on the road and once under boost, it screams louder than a V8. This car will impress anyone. A true head turner. Can provide more pics via mobile. Car is located in Brisbane (Forest Lake). Willing to swap for a R34 GTT, has to be manual with decent rims. Prefer in silver or black. Willing to pay cash on top of my car for the right R34 GTT happy viewing

Hi, Missus is wanting to get rid of her Holden Astra. Its a 5/1999 model and comes in dark blue. Service history and books. Original Holden floor mats. Car is in mint condition. Only reason wanting to swap is to change over from 4 door family car to ideal sports car for a P plater chick. If you have any auto R32, R33, 180sx, even a good sylvia then post replies immediately. I am in no rush but can organise inspections for both cars. Has to be either Brisbane or Gold Coast. Astra will come with RWC and rego under new owners name. Car is valued anywhere from 4K - 5,500 as it is an Auto, air con still cold, CD player, good healthy motor. No engine flaws and will get you around fairly cheap. 1.8 CD Dark blue Im not saying sylvias and skylines are worth 4-6 K even though I came across cheap thrashed ones on carsales. I just need something for the lady. She is feeling left out having to tolerate cruises in me 400+ whp supra. Thanks anyone that can help out. It may be turbo if need be and I will just remove it if Police hassel her. BUT MUST BE AUTO!! Thank you all
