Dear all, Some bastard decided to key my front bonnet and put his initials on it - went to the local panel shop today; to fix would cost a small fortune for it to be re-primed and painted so am after a second-hand already painted Black bonnett for a R33 series 2. This is quite urgent as I got a cruise to go to in a couple of weeks and my bonnet looks terrible, would appreciate if people can assist. Many thanks.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and suggestions.... I have provided all your suggestions to my brother. He's still looking quite hard for a nice R32 Skyline.

That's great..... very interested thanks.... if you can let me know ASAP, will arrange a test drive then take it from there.

I am looking for a good Nismo badge for my front grill actually... I like the 2nd Nismo badge too... but it's got gaps... have no idea how to put it on with out wrecking the accurate spacing.

I am starting a new theme for my Car, making it Nismo all the way... I will post up pics soon. Thanks.

In general, Skylines would be faster than a VL turbo? I dragged a few and ate them all - "why bodddor...." lol

Biggie, Kevin with the black R33 here mate... nice meeting this morning - got my battery installed, remember - put me down, will bring a tribe of Skylines do the event... so close to me and I've been hanging for this day since. Like I said, going via Princess HWY, just don't want to get everyone defected like last time I went. Besides that, sounds awsome!!! Who else coming?

Yeah thanks mate, but the thing is I've tried all this... same thing.... Might have to change to another browse... I am using Netscape ... love it...

Hey all, I don't know if I'm the only one... but ever since SAU was shut down for a routine upgrade a couple of weeks ago, of recent, I've noticed that every time I click on my SAU link (under favourites) it no longer remembers my login details, I have to relogin again each time... can the administrators please check this out...

Totally agree.... man, if you are on a lunch break and you decide to check out some replies to some threads and porn is posted - damn, you'll lose your work....

Yeah, hope so buddy... hey. you in MELB too, we should meet up some time!

Thanks mate.... appreciate your advice... yeah, unfortunately... I don't know of many places... accept carsales.com.au and SAU... Oh well, just gotta hope something comes along soon.

Thanks fellas.... honestly, thank you all... TM_R33: mate, he's got an automatic license. Yeah, he's only got $5K on the dot and doesn't make much as he works only twice a week at Red Rooster and they pay like $7 an hour or something... poor guy can't wait any longer... I know R32's are worth around $8K, so damn... hope someone can help him...

Hey fellas, I was wondering if $5,000 would buy a R32 - my youngest brother loves Skylines; we have 2 already at home and he wants to be the proud owner of a third... he's only just turned 18 and got his P's a couple of weeks ago, he wants a N/A Automatic R32 more so just for crusing purposes... I'm having a bit of trouble finding an old but fairly working R32 for him... anyone know of or has any R32 Skylines that would like to suggest. We're from Melbourne and the buy would probably take place in a couple of weeks. Cheers,

Thanks mate.

Post this on the Parts Lending section (I think there's a stickie somewhere)... I had a stock airbox but I had to lend it to a SAU mate a couple of days ago or I would have offered it to you... I'm sure someone can help you with the exhaust... That "some ass" person might just be your friend. lol

From what you've said... might not be the coilover - might be the front wheel shaft (not sure what it's called, but the arch that keeps the wheels in line) - because if it were the coilovers, then the wheels wouldn't be leaning towards the front guards more, you'll just get very non-stiff resistance on the side where you claim it was broken... best thing to do mate, is to jack your car up, get under there and have a good look with a torch or something... I would get this fixed first before as in the long-term could prove to be dangerous.

Fair point mate, but think of their big arse ... all relative, I suppose.

Fellas, thanks for everyone's support and time... So I got myself a new sports battery - cost around $225 from Autobarn, chucked it in, turn on the car and let it idle for a couple of seconds so that the battery starts charging - then I took it for a 60 km drive... no problems whatsoever... I will do another semi-cruise next weekend... if the car runs fine then I'll conclude that it was the battery... as when the car just shuts down unexpectingly, I see the battery warning light come up first... so it must be it then... that's good, I suppose.

I would get a bodykit, get a good exhaust and then go from there... do it slowly so that it's fun and not too costly that's the trick.

No worries, good luck with the sale then.

Are you bloody nuts? They're worth $150.00 or $170 max everyone knows this and you want to rip someone off at $350 - that's the same price as a GT-R spoiler... dream on... really upsets me when I see people trying to rip off others.

Yeah, they're called R33/4's - what is the thread poster on about R33.5 ??

I suggest you do a search, as this topic has been covered 100 times. However, fuel wise the Skyline and the Supra would be similiar... and don't forget, the Skyline is turbo-charged, so of course it will kill the N/A Supra. I think you should absolutely purchase a Skyline - it does drink petrol but not too much more than the Supra and think of the punch you'll get.

Might consider it if you take the GT-R badge off the front grill. Lol On a serious note, a friend of mine is looking to buy a Skyline - how much can you do with RWC?
