No. i didn't realise it was the stolen one at the time. I noticed it because it was gorgeous and i have a 33 the same colour so it caught my attention. Im a coach driver and i was driving with a load of passengers on at the time, it wasn't untill i had dropped off a couple of hours later that i was killing time lookin through the forum on my phone when i saw the thread and thought id check the plates, sure enough it was the one i saw.

thanks mate, that'd be good

i seen this car a couple of hours ago, it was heading south on the m1 around coomera. Not much good to you now but atleast ya know its still in one piece.

yeah that's pretty much what the previous owner said, he's had the car for the last four years and never been done, been through RBT's etc. But the previous owner didn't drive the car much, didn't attend any events or cruises. I've never really liked the gauges on the pillar though, they attract attention, especially at night lit up like a xmas tree. I'm always hitting them getting in and out, the glare at night, im just not a fan. more importantly, i don't have points to waste, so anything that attracts attention, must go.

Got any pics ??

I took my gauges off the pillar today and tried them in a few different spots to see how they look. At first i liked this one but now it just looks wierd Out of the places i tried i think this one is probably the best, I dont love it, not by a long shot. They will be just stuck there with double sided tape,,, bodgey as bro. But at least they'll be a little less conspicuous. Any of you guys reading this have the same gauges by any chance ?

Ive been thinking, I could probably get another fascia for about $50 if i stuff it up, so i will have a look at where i can fit the gauges in the fascia itself. By removing the clock for example, will have a look around and see what i come up with. If not then mounted to the steering column will be my second choice i think. Any pics you guys have would be good to see aswell

That's not a bad idea, I'll have a look at that.

grab a stubby cooler and put it in the console, great for spare change.

I bought an R33 gtst series 1 about a month ago and i would like to remove the "defect me" signs that are currently mounted in an A pillar gauge pod. Two Blitz gauges, boost and oil pressure. There doesn't seem to be an easy answer other than, just rip them out and leave them out. I didnt buy this car with the intention of spending alot of money on it and turning it into my pride and joy, i might get an R34 to fill that role later on, so getting something custom made to fit down low in the dash below the headunit or where the ash tray currently sits might be going a bit far. I havent seen anything online for the R33. If you have gauges , where did you put them ?

Should have specified -- i know the handbrake light is on. The light im talking about is the one at the bottom of the speedo below 180. (only visible in the second pic) The aftermarket backing obviously doesnt have whatever symbol is on the factory dials. Hicas failure light -- i thought it would be something to do with the hicas.

The car is a series 1 r33 gtst The previous owner fitted aftermarket backings in the speedo cluster This light comes on sometimes ,, can anyone tell me what its for ?
