kezza Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 well this is micheals R33 GTS-T , I love this car... I have had it for a week to do some repairs and stuff to the paint and tuning the car to run a bit better. micheal is in the army so he wont get to see his car till easter sometime so i decided to post up some pics. The car just got picked up today and i miss it already, I tell ya driving a RB25det is a little better than just a RB20det. Oh well enjoy check it out and tell me what you think.

kezza Posted January 22, 2006 Author Share Posted January 22, 2006 So are you a panel beater/painter? or just do that as a bit of a hobby sorta thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I would just say a hobby, my dad is a painter. and i spose watching him all the time made me like doing it as an on the side thing.. the left hand side rear was hit by a post lol and made a fair bit of damage, so i fixed that for him and did the dash as well.. It doesnt seem to look as good in the pics, but all the parts inside the car have around 7 layers of 2pac clear over it. I only did it that many times cause that sort of stuff cops a bit of a belting and i have see cars with stuff painted and half of it chiping off.. cant have that now..

The only problem i had with the dash was the person who painted it b4... lol some bronze crap colour, It all had to come off. And because anything inside the car has more than likely soaked up shit loads of armoral and many other paint hating chemicals! use alot of prepsole b4 sanding and aftersanding. Or you will have fish eyes and paint frying up b4 your eyes,lol And use some type of plastic primer as well to help the paint stick. But yeah mate, any problems give me a yell.

I mean i just want to cut down on intercooler piping and the crossover pipe cops heaps of heat before i finally get to the plenium.... Ummmm wonder??? I think predator did this conversion also...

kezza Posted January 23, 2006 Author Share Posted January 23, 2006 Yeah it was picked up from the coast about a year ago! last easter i think... Im sure he said that it did have a lot more mods done to it, but when he got it alot of it was put back to stock. But yeah, im not too sure on the full story. LOL yeah i pulled the TT apart and i painted it to blend into the whole Orange thing.. yeah they are like sandpaper to start with, but to get the best finish i gave it a hard sand to remove the old paint and also to remove the pumpy surface.. Then used some sprey putty to get it dead smooth. Its a damm nice ride, pleasure to work on Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/102806-my-mates-r33-gts-t-baby-skyline/#findComment-1891047 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont like chrome, but I think they would suit this. That or something darker.
