Does It Feel Like Your R33 Is Outdated?
Isola replied to crazyr33's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
+1 to all of this. Just don't treat it like a commonwhore and put dumbass chrome rims on it or anything. Get ones that SUIT THE COLOR OF THE CAR. And don't go over 18" if you still want to drive it. AND, get LIGHTWEIGHT rims. If you think your car drives like a stuck pig and you're not going to do many power mods, don't add more weight to the thing. Get some nice light Buddy Club rims or something similar in weight + 1 to all of this except for the tint suggestion. If you're going to get the tint darkened, do ALL OF IT, not just the rear windows. It screams "I'm JDM as fuck yo!" and... well you're not JDM as anything if you're not from Japan. DON'T get a black bonnet. I don't care if it's full hektik carbon fibre. It will look like your car has contracted aids from being parked too close to the commonwhores. It's tacky, and looks like you made the trip to the wreckers to get a new bonnet, but forgot to go to the painter to get it color matched. It isn't attractive on any car and makes them look like pieces of shit. Ganador style mirrors would look awesome too - but again, not carbon fibre. Color matching is the name of the game. Stay away from mismatched panels, and stay away from chrome. PLEASE don't make it look like some Leb-spec Chapel Street cruiser. One other thing to remember. You live in country Victoria. Country anywhere = Bogans/Strayans = Ford vs Holden and no other cars exist. Stand your ground. And if you have that many friends with Holdens... find new friends -
They don't exactly strike me as cheap... What engine were you looking at? Can't you get one from close to home? Have you got an estimate on shipping costs yet?

The graphics really didn't do anything for me. I did like the light up floor... but it was cooler in "Big" because it was a piano then, and original. And as fas as I'm concerned the movie "Field Of Dreams" had MUCH better scenery effects. The animals were all just... lamepants. Each animal had a different roar of different dinosaurs from Jurassic Park. The black panther thing was the T-Rex, the little coyote things were the Dilophosaurus, the horse things were the raptor "honk" and the birds were the raptor "hiss". The "helicopters" made NO SENSE AT ALL. If those blades are encased in a big circular shield, then they shouldn't sound like helicopter blades because the tips aren't cutting through the air making that "WHUP WHUP WHUP" sound. ..so... nothing really stood out as original, or groundbreaking. Was just a 3hr story that could have been easily half that. Only that wouldn't have stroked Cameron's ego quite as sufficiently. and 300 would still have been a terrible movie even if it was in 3D.

big, shiny, heavy. waiting for me to obtain tools to put it on. The other one is big, not as shiny, slightly heavier, and waiting for me to talk to Dan about where/how to attach that one (it goes into a pipe somewhere). Once I've given them both a bit of a thrashing I'll let you know how they work out

33 Gtr Din Gauge Cluster
Isola replied to yaface's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
The GTR cluster in my GTS4 has a non working clock and torque gauge because the clock wiring doesn't reach, and there's no front torque reader installed. So the assumptions are correct. Whoever buys this for a GTST or GTS4 will need to install plugs and senders. Unless they're installing it for the wank factor... -
Importing A R32 Gtr
Isola replied to dreGTR's topic in Importing, Compliance, Modification Laws & Regulations
Eps - you forgot something. 17 year old + GTR + mates = showing off GTR + showing off + inexperienced driver = GTR wrapped around pole. I'd do the whole 'learn to walk before you can run' driving experience talk... but if the kid is saying 'don't care about p plate laws' then he's obviously too hektik and far too hard_xXx_core to care about my opinion on what his first car should be. Let's just hope he doesn't write it off when he kills himself, his mates and the people in the other car while ripping sick skids. -
with a sense of humor like that... the internets are going to eat you alive Guys why are so many of the females on here so capricious? I not understandy

niggah prease. I could see just fine with your lights on, and my lights OFF. Yeah I know, but was leaving it there for him to find. Turns out there's no such thing as a filter and ERD Dan thought I was on drugs. Quick phone call later he thinks my abs has raped my 4WD. Need to check sensors. Suggestions for reaching power target? I did so much research on VGs that now I don't know what to do with my RB. NO work on it? What if it needs a bangin' stereo? Someone Tristan and I have both worked with These squeaky toys Think mine were hungee wottas too from memory. Probably using the same (or close to) what I used to have. sweet what was Colin doing at Manly?
