Front bumpers a little out of allignment Front right wheels running a bit of camber.. not sure why or how, was done before the dealership even got it. Does NOT come with number plates.. and plates are NOT for sale. I love them too much Deets Chasing around the 9k mark, but shoot your offers over Located in Sydney, twenty minutes from Castle Hill. Location given on request. Interested in purchasing a turbo in a year and I know how hard it is to sell these cars. By the time someones interested in buying, I'll have my full license LOL I'll clean it up a bit for the buyer haha

Respect +1 Admiration +1 Edit: as long as you're taking care of your kid, and keeping your head above water, what's wrong with splurging a little on your car? It may not be top priority for some, but for others the cars what makes our lives fun. Also, drive your kid to school in your 33. He'll feel like the coolest kid in the school GTST's are cheap; you own one, if oyu have 8k, buy a new turbo, fmic, 3" exhaust and apexi. You'll be hitting 280rwkw easy.

Now that it's raining, my R33 has been seeing some action.. but seriously, unless it's raining it's not worth owning. Buy an S13 and some trashy tyres.. that's what I wish I had done.

Wish I read that a couple months ago -.-

lol i have mine in and the suckers squeal

Welcome to skylines australia Awesome build thread you have here

I want my R33 to sit like this. Where can I take it to get this happening?

No the best modifications are some neons and a motek exhaust.

Who doesn't want to be unique, this is why we like our jap cars... it's like playing with lego. +1 for psi-fed's recommendation, there are some nice xr6's if you don't mind being everyone else, or you don't mind not having a sporty feeling car. But if you're interested in a sporty car, look into a honda s2k for rarity.. if you can get the price dropped a bit lol Get a cheap S13, d-spec it and learn to drift, it'll make you cool. or a nice 180sx. or an ae86.

Kinda skipped a lot, I'm just an advocate for recommending against N/A skylines. What sort of style are you going for? Stance? Low? d-spec? Sex? Daily? What sort of driving is this car going to be used for?

Get a honda civic, keep it stock, sell it when you're off your Ps, grab a GTR. I love my 33, but I regret buying it on the basis that the style I want isn't there, it's slow, expensive and I will never get my money back for it.

@JEnna; thanks for your insight.. I'll definitely be in contact with you about the project A couple of things... computer in the boot is interesting; I was going to mount behind the dash. The boot sounds like a better idea, and opens me up for case mods that integrate with my planned sound system. I like your thinking 1080p; thanks for bringing up that point. I was thinking the same thing about not telling the difference between 720 and 1080, but largely because the screens that are available won't be able to display things like a samsung TV would. Didn't think about aspect ratio either... But that doesn't impede on the design of the system as all screens are essentially going to be 7" i believe. I want to keep slightly updated with Windows, but I'm worried about the demand win7 would have. If it came down to it, I was thinking about a trimmed down version of XP i found on a torrent site not too long ago if Windows CE didn't do as I wanted. I was hoping for an android powered system... that would be amazing... but too limiting. Agreed about lack of use with 3G... I was just thinking of an all inclusive system. Thanks for the recommendation aobut the psu too, i'll look into it. I was thinking about making the antenna usb-powered and custom write something to pop it up... not 100% sure how as I haven't had experience, but I was going to see what Ic ould do... HMMMMMMMMM exciting projects are ahead. ><

Thanks heaps mate! I didn't think of the power thing... would have been a crossroad later. Probably be better to go for a battery-powered device that hibernates when the AC is removed, then turns off when the battery get's to 50% or less. Automatic power on will be interesting... Windows CE sounds alright... I don't really think very highly of it. I'll have to research it more... Fanless design is piss easy, and I'll find a touch screen that works fine no worries. I was going to throw in a 3G dongle, and set the computer up to use it. It'll require a sim card, but you can easily put it in and dial up to your interwebs. that could be an optional extra lol but bluetooth will definitely be in there so people can take calls from it. Didn't think of radio... lol... I'm going to need to be able to control the antenna too hmmm... interesting. Yeah amp is a definite. Some thoughts that come to mind; 1080p video playback will a gfx card of some description.. I was thinking of running an intel atom processor. If I beef it up too much, you'll see an increase in price. I'll go over my options with small-form PCs and their processors VS cost, but yeah, it'll probably be best with 720p video. I'm looking around for a device with a disk drive.. not very successful -.- Big project is getting bigger haha

yeah I've just started looking into it... iPad 2 FTL... and nissan consult looks like it might cause some problems. Thinking about Windows running centrifuge. Compared to other car manufactures systems, this is inferior, but there isn't much you can get for a Skyline. Just out of curiousity, Troy... in what way do you feel I'm behind the curve? Just so I know where to improve on. Edit: when I say "iPad 2 FTL", I mean you're looking at a $700+ system that will require an existing head unit to link to the incar speakers. It's better to have a cheap, built-in computer running a lightweight distro of some description (windows, Linux, haven't looked into it so I can't say 100%... btu Windows touch-screen compatibility is pretty good). That said, the system I'm building will probably cost more than an iPad, but itll be cusotmizable and extendible.

So I'm thinking of doing some research and some bulk purchasing from various companies to put together an awesome kit for an in-car computer system. The in-car computer will completely replace your existing stereo, providing music/video, GPS, bluetooth (to sync with your phone, or whatever you want), 3G and real-time data from your nissan consult, all running off either a double-din, or fold-out single-din touch screen. O/S will be a lightweight Linux distro optimized for touch screens that will have multi-tasking capabilities (so you can run GPS while you play music with minimal lag/problems). I haven't thought about DE's or WM's but even panels/docks, but a pypanel+openbox like setup seems to go alright. Anyway, what do you guys think? Would anyone be interested? They will come as a DIY kit, or I could install it for you. I'll get all the parts I need and do a demo in my car before I start selling.

Whats the piping diametre? Edit: only reason I ask is because if it's for a GTT i assume it'll be >=3", which will give you crappy back pressure. Less performance etc. You're best off looking at a 2.5". If you're located around the northmead area I know a guy who can go a little cheaper than Castle Hill Exhaust.

If you wanna be jdm brah you just run a pipe from the intake to the ground and put a stocking over it Edit: but +1 for a K&N washable filter. I love mine

But ish sho fluffehhh

But ish sho fluffehhh

+1 to aaron. Get new rotors, take advantage of the opportunity and get an upgrade.

So I f**ked the bolt on my passenger side LCA (lower control arm) during my brake upgrade, and it's easier to buy new a new LCA than to muck around with this bolt further. What sort of options do I have with regards to aftermarket parts? Something adjustable, maybe? I haven't had a chance to study how to get camber on my ride, but I'm wonder if the LCA plays a roll in obtaining camber? The part I'm looking to replace is: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-R33-Skyline-passengers-side-lower-CONTROL-ARM-/380361757669?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item588f53d3e5#ht_500wt_799

I don't know if you've done anything yet + I've skipped every post... But I put Pedders Extreme A coilovers on my GTS25, tucking 17's with LP tyres. They're rebuildable, and definitely got a better ride to kings haha Haven't ridden in my mates GTS4 that's dumped on GTST BCs, but I these pedders are going alright. Price: $1900 installed, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Yeah, that's just what I was looking at doing. jump on the skidpan at ec and go around in circles when it's wet rofl. Best to put the egg on the rears?
