S T A R 3 3

Spotted a couple of 33 GTR's around my neighbourhood (Banks -- so; 'hood') during a leisurely stroll (Banks -- so; sprinting away avoiding thrown glass bottles and children). One (white) was just parked in an open carport , and the other (light purple w/ pearl may not have been a GTR) was being fixed up in a garage.

I thought about that, but I didn't want to waste any more of my own time. I didnt mention that he called up first thing in the morning and said he would be over around 10am, then called me throughout the morning to pushback the time.. he rocked up at 3.. so that was a waste of my morning/afternoon. The worst part was that when I spoke to him over the phone on a few occasions leading up to the day, he was understanding of the condition of the car. Pfft!

spotted a 2-tone (silver/grey) 33 4 door heading up hindmarsh drive around 420

The SMIC and dump pipe are free! Just pick it up.. Prime Minister me.

A dad and his son came and looked at my 76 RA28 Celica and straight away the dad was into the car and trying to downplay it. "Those tires arent flash, they'll probably need to be replaced before we take it anywhere.." -- The tires weren't the greatest brand, but for a car that sat in the garage it was good enough and less than 500kms on them. "they're fine to drive on", I responded. *after the test drive* "It's a bit squeaky don't you think? hahaha" ... I was thinking, "you're face is a bit squeaky", but I said, "the car is pushing almost 35 years old, could do with some new bushes here and there". He responded, "I think it's way past that." *looking underneath the car* "There's abit of rust here.. I thought you said you got rid of it all, it's pretty bad." I responded, "I got rid of the major rust and what you're seeing is exactly what was described in the ad, and exactly what is shown in the pictures you requested.. I don't know why you're surprised?" At this point the son seemed really uncomfortable.. the dad persisted.. "The interior isn't original, is it? You have definitely lost value by replacing it.." -- I'm selling the car for $4000. By this point, I had enough, I shut the doors and headed towards the front door and he offered me $3000 for it. "No thanks mate". "Ok, good luck with it then.. hahahhah" Later that night, he called up again and offered the $4000. I was relunctant to sell it to him, but fortunately took an earlier call from another guy who was driving down from NSW to look at it. So I said he would have to wait. The dad then offered $4500 to pick it up there and then. I ended up selling it to the NSW dude for $4000 a week later.

test

fronts are 48cm rears are 74.5cm

Not sure if they were lower than stock height. They came with the car so nothing to compare it too. Ill see if I can dig up some pics of when I bought it. May give u an idea? Ill measure them as we'll and post tonight.

Yes these are off my RS4S and encountered the same conflicting statements.

Pics of struts. Juran brand.. $20 pick up.. Otherwise they'll be going to the tip.

Great pics! Can't wait to see them all. Facebook friend requested....

I'm glad you enjoy my BBC as much as I do. (BBC = Big Black Car)

The stag looks so handsome. Great pics. Great cars. Great day. The last cruise I went on was almost 5 years ago with 'widebody32'. I will make sure I try attend all future SAUACT cruises.

Never mind the ute. The owner of it was a top bloke letting us using it as a stage.

Little teaser

how long do we think this will take?

Ill bring my iPhone and just take selfies all day. *duckface*

Sweet.

lol no idea, it just came back to me after 20+ years and now I want to play. nostalgia

Its pretty easy to disable, I have the same immoboliser.. just a combination of key turns, watch the LED.. ..then on your gaming pad press up, up, down, down, left, right, B, A then hold 'Select' until you hear a chime. Pretty sure that was a Double Dragon cheat for the NES.

sinsations

Nah, I have seen that one around tho. Mines black
