What's included: - Used Bride Ergo Seat - Used Bride rail suitable for A31 Nissan Cefiro or R32 Nissan Skyline. $250 reflects the condition which is poor. As far as I know the only thing fine with the seat is the structure- I always intended on getting it re-sponged and re-upholstered to put in my next Cefiro. my email address is tom at .the domain. coolchaos .and then put. .com at the end 0410 532 548 Pick up near Hyde Park near the Sydney CBD or can deliver around CBD. more info: It came out of the Drift Battle Magazine Issue #3 cover car, which was originally imported so the seat has a long history of being scuffed up and fabric worn out by drifters getting in and out of it. The rail itself has a few scratches but is straight and does not require anything other than the bolts to be installed. The seat you definitely would want to get some sponge and re-upholstering (even with a proper clean and repair would look pretty nice). Selling to make room and don't have any drifty cars anymore

Good price for non-drift hack ceffy with clean paint, big box ready and otherwise ready to take any power upgrades.. fastidious owner with long history on SAU (SK suspension, rb25 box, clean as paint etc etc) with all mods done with no expense so you know it'll putt around without blowing something up... pity it's a slow market .. maybe make him an offer?

Official NSW Skyline spotted thread
someonestolecc replied to CerealKiller's topic in New South Wales
Spotted many skylines the last few days.. i cant remember anything so i snapped as many as i could The photos are, in the following order, from Thursday - west I think Friday - Warringah Parkway, near The Parkway Friday - Warriewood, Pittwater Rd Saturday - Palmer Street, Woolloomooloo Saturday - can't remember -
Spotted one of the nicest cefs I've seen this morning. 7:30 coming off the highway up onto William Street. Champagne/bronzed cream with blue pearl. 17" or so older school rims (Manaray/bbs maybe?), front bar I think was autech or stockish (didn't see), late model rear garnish and the same or very similar rear bar to my old ceffy. Looked tough as. New styled number plate. Anyone here?

I don't agree that r32 projectors aren't worth it ... it's all subjective. You will have to recognise that they will never be as good as a retrofit, that is where you take the entire headlight projector designed for HID from another car and mount it onto your car.. The kits on ebay and HID conversion 'bulbs' are a bit different because while they use the same technology as factory setups but they don't give you the proper projector designed for these. They do however make the HID bulbs to fit your projector (H3 or H3C or H1 or whatever). Now.. personally, I have installed a kaixen kit from BATMBL in both a r32 and a31 and I thought it was a good result. I had 6500k or 6000k I believe - the closer to 4300k (daylight) the better, but I decided on 6000k range (bluer) because the projectors are not designed for HID and so did not want the extremity/full effectiveness of something like 4500k. The typical things that will go wrong with these kits are glares and hot spots. I had 2 minor hot spots and with no cut off shield - I had OEM crisp cutoff and better lighting. I DID have to be careful with the glare and hotspots however because these things can be a nuisance in the wrong hands. So ... basically, you can put one in the cheaper/worse way and yes it will work. It's actually quite acceptable (dialled in correctly). If you have the money and can do it, the best way is retrofitting a proper projector into your headlight assembly and you can use the proper HID bulb sizes and have the full benefit of the technology. If you don't want to go hunting wreckers for OEM stuff like honda etc.. get a kit from http://www.hidplanet.com/package.html - take a look at their forums too you can learn heaps there. GL oh yeah someone on these forums did the cleanest retrofit - they have a thread.. you'll have to search I can't remember their name but they had skills...

A31 Cefiro W/ Rb25det !car Sold!
someonestolecc replied to S13Deviat's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Holy shitto Ando selling the purple beast ... Noway I remember driving out with Ando to look at it after he bought this thing and pretty much kept in touch with Ando while we've both had our cefs etc - I've also seen he's a real enthusiast and just how properly this car was re-built. If I was in a position to get a car like this I would... well, except that I would prefer a non-purple colour and SR engine haha GL with the sale Ando - hope it goes to an enthusiast! -
Nsw: S3 Drift Project R31
someonestolecc replied to someonestolecc's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Not turboed at the moment, I have exhaust manifold, gaskets, all piping, silicone, o clamps and FMIC. To turbo it'll need the turbo, the water/oil lines, injectors, fuel pump and the computer. With that it's either rechip, VLT computer or custom. The VLT computer has a knock sensor whereas the r31 one does not, that didn't bother me too much as I was only going to run safe boost with it and CEF11E who's posted in this thread was going to do the remap for me. Anyway I've taken a deposit for it and hopefully it'll be picked up this weekend -

Nsw: S3 Drift Project R31
someonestolecc replied to someonestolecc's topic in For Sale (Private Whole cars only)
Gday, I'll part it out if no one buys it as a whole or I get enough serious people buying the main parts. The suspension is s13 coilovers, so you know. PM me to let me know if you would also be interested in the s13 conversion "kit" or just the coilovers so I can factor this in. Cheers. -

When I got it. Latest photo from the 2007 SAU Show and Shine Wheels when bought (excellent condition) Wheels dish One of the HSDs (excellent condition) in comparison to stock Custom lines (made by Enzed for just under $300) The vent and obviously the hole beneath it -
Gday, I got defected a few months back and can't afford engineering. I'm going to sell my car at the moment as UNREGISTERED. It can be re-registered for those who have connections or can get engineering. Make/Model: R31 s3 (not sure if it's TI, exec or whatever, it has air con) Year: 87 or 88 I think Kilometers: 350,000 at least but odo stopped at 187k-ish Transmission type: 5 speed! Engine: rb30 Colour: blue Modifications: - HSD coilovers 8/6k I think. (not more than 30k). (I bought from REPLICATE who I used to work with, I remember he bought them for his ceffy and I've driven less than 100km on them). - r32 steering rack (great condition, checked it before putting it in) - S13 coilover conversion (lower control arms, brakes, brake lines, proper rear top hats etc) - custom lines for r32 rack (cost me just under $300!) - hole in bonnet (comes with the kind of east bear-ish reverse scoop) - Modena Japanese 3 piece rims in absolute mint condition (16x7 and 16x8 for that old school toughness, includes all pins/caps etc) - Tyres that aren't shagged - Short shift kit - Stripped interior (rear seatbelts still in) - Apex pod filter - r32 FMIC kit (including FMIC which is already mounted) - VLT stainless ebay exhaust manifold - "glue on" flares (fatness) - option of 40mm spacers (which were machined to fit the wheels and nissan hubs, will match these flares) - import rear garnish (installed!) - garden edge - full sick drift styled mild steel tipped exhaust (needs a hanger welded on) - tinted windows - solid alloy steering spacer - tein camber plates (bushes in great nick) Roadworthy Certificate: no Registered: no Accident History: none at all Asking Price: $2.5k Location: North Shore, Sydney Contact Details: 0410 532 548 - call if you're serious, i don't want to be f**king around texting 15 year olds with no money Other Comments: It runs and it's fine (if I could clear it it would have become a drift-daily), if I wasn't without a job at the moment and it wasn't defected I would finish off the bonnet and use the thing daily. Car will come with all stock parts I can find. Can make cheaper minus the VLT gear and can make it really really cheap minus suspension and/or wheels (they're the most expensive thing on the car). Basically that's the lot as I can remember it. If it doesn't sell as an entire car I will take a spanner to it and rip everything off and part it out. I would prefer to sell it whole however as it used to be Bryce Courtney's car and it was stock as a rock when I got it.... I'd prefer it go to someone who'll either revert to stock or build it up to a drift car. My original intention was to put the VLT gear in, weld the diff and have a drift.... the car has been sitting outside my ex's house for months now because I haven't had money Sad The car will come with as many original parts I can find. I DID however throw away the rear seat as it was crap. More pics to come, there are many in the buildup thread in my signature however.

Okay -update. I got defected a few months back. My mechanic said it's a major so it'll have to get put back to stock but THEN it'll go through pits. It obviously can't pass pits with s13 suspension conversion or r32 steering rack, so even if I had the stock parts it's just not possible. I can't afford engineering. So basically I have to give it up. Sad but true... all on a whim of a copper. I'll be selling it as a package, since it's still drivable and perfectly okay to be re-registered if you have the connections or patience. It's a good body that was STOCK as and treated well when I got it. - HSD coilovers 8/6k I think. (not more than 30k). (I bought from REPLICATE who I used to work with, I remember he bought them for his ceffy and I've driven less than 100km on them). - r32 steering rack (great condition, checked it before putting it in) - S13 coilover conversion (lower control arms, brakes, brake lines etc) - custom lines for r32 rack (cost me just under $300!) - hole in bonnet (comes with the kind of east bear-ish reverse scoop) - Modena Japanese 3 piece rims in absolute mint condition (16x7 and 16x8 for that old school toughness, includes all pins/caps etc) - Tyres that aren't shagged - Short shift kit - Stripped interior (rear seatbelts still in) - Apex pod filter - r32 FMIC kit (including FMIC which is already mounted) - VLT stainless ebay exhaust manifold - "glue on" flares (fatness) - option of 40mm spacers (which were machined to fit the wheels and nissan hubs, will match these flares) - import rear garnish (installed!) - garden edge - full sick drift styled mild steel tipped exhaust (needs a hanger welded on) I know I'm going to lose money on it etc but I can't register it.. I don't have the money to buy any parts or pay engineering otherwise I would! If noone takes it whole I will spend a few days taking it apart and part it out. If anyone wants to make an offer PM me or call 0410 532 548.

Never having owned a r33 I'm not 100% sure however I would firstly check the HID conversion kit bulbs you bought are the same ones that came out (i.e. h4 came out then the bulb should say h4, the hid kit should also say h4). This wlll establish the bulbs are aligned correctly with the assembly. I should also say that the only aftermarket HID kits i've seen work are ones with r32/s13/a31 projectors. I've never seen r33's look good with HID. The headlamp assembly just isn't designed for it... having said that I'm sure someone has got it working better than what you're describing but you won't ever get rid of flares and hot spots with them as far as I know. You should do a retrofit if you want to have the best result.

Roll Cages Cams Approved
someonestolecc replied to just_racing's topic in Motorsport Discussion & Builds
Just intuitively speaking (I don't have race experience etc) I'm thinking that I'd like some stretch if it was me. A mm per metre of stretch at x force is not going to put my head into the rollbar, nor is it going to stop holding me into my seat or in the cage area.... especially if you consider that the stretch (if any) is going to occur only under the an extreme condition (a big hit!)... so, if something has to stretch I'd prefer it to be a couple mm of belt rather than a few mm of body. Same theory as airbags, it's there to absorb after impact. anyway thought both points were complimentary... the 3" vs 2" thing would of course make much more difference than half a mm of stretch at 5g to nothing in .5 seconds.. :\ between HRD's 1200, the sig and cage talk it makes me really feel how I miss cars -

Quick update, hectic busy... Muffler fell off a while ago, the pipe sounds nice. Will obviously go to 3" when it gets turboed but for now... I can't take the credit I bought the stuffs and only did some of the welds but the skills lay with the man known as GI JAKE Not on the car yet, didn't have time to fit it on.... spacers and initial bodywork next I think IF I can get a place to work on it (nowhere at the moment ).
