i was asked why my car is so special to me and i answered accordingly, so i wouldnt see how it effects ppl.

They didn't ask why your car is special to you, they asked what make's it special compared to the hundreds of other r33s you see on the road.

the comment from dan22 should say enough mate, if other members are saying it stands out then that puts a smile on my face..Its different because most r33's all use the same few kits, the 400r and the gtr copy. i went and purchased 3 different panels from 3 different companies. If this is the same as every other r33 out there post some pics of something thats street driven and different and i dont mean this in a smart ass way, i just wanna c what others think would catch ur eye

ey i think u should all leave mr_crust alone (all over a sticker ppppfffffffttttt). He should be able to put a sticker on his car without having to pay thousands to a mechanic first. I think its great he did most of the work on his car himself, "if u can do the job urself, y pay some 1 else to do it"

no one said he cant put a sticker on....

they're saying, why put a sticker on for a certain workshop, when you're car has nothing to do with them.

What makes mine so special you ask? Well the fact the i worked my ass of to save enough money to purchase a REAL jap sports car without any loans, like most guys my age (21yo),and then spend in excess of 10k in the first few months of owning on mods, so its my pride and joy so thats why its so special.

On top of that no real workshops have touched my car, all installs have been done myself or family, which is a top accomplishment for me and has saved me thousands...

im gonna get a custom made sticker it seems.

100% get a custom sticker, if you do all the work yourself then wack somethign on that represents that. I reckon that would be ace plus why represent a workshop when they have done no work ;)

This thread has turned into a bit of a cat fight now.

Mr crust - your car is sweet

    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
    • Yeah, my offer was more to show exactly how rough and ready the rig can be and still be useful. Youtube vids will definitely show cleaner setups. Same concept though.
    • I would guess the seal has gone down at the speedo drive and gearbox oil has crept up the drive cable sheath and fouled the speedo head.
    • Any updates on this? Although not a stroker, nor built especially loose, my car has the exact same symptoms. Although I feel they were not there to begin with. Since rebuild with forged parts I have done about 40k kms and it feels like during the last 15k or so, the oil consumption has gotten progressively worse.  Compression test showed - what I thought at least - similar 10-10.5bars in each hole without oil. I have not yet done blowby test though, due to limited garage access. #2 plug is the looks the most foul and that was the one with 10bars. Nothing in the breather tank. I only recently disabled PCV and left only the hoses running from the valve cover via smallish tank to turbo intake pipe there and did some mildish 2nd gear pulls so the car was definitely on boost (1.4bar or so). Removed a hose from the tank and it was basically dry - meaning, the wipe I used had basically no oil on it. Last time I checked, the turbo and IC piping seemed dry as well (will have to see about that again after those pulls). For the past year and a half though, the car has been driven like a granny would for 99.99% of the time, since it mainly serves the purpose of carrying the family around nowadays. A lot of slow, stop and go city driving and most of the trips it barely sees any boost, but gets up to temp properly every time. Although there can be weeks it is not started at all. The car does not smoke, or at least not that I can see. (CAT is in place though). There is slight visible sweating at the Ex cam cover seal and I recently tightened the oil cooler lines as there was some mist on them too. It runs and idles extremely nicely and feels all around healthy. Like TurboTapin, I too am suspicious of my turbo. I have had IC pipes pop out from 1.6-2bars of boost a half a dozen times during the years. The turbo is a HX35/40 hybrid. So, a very similar mystery. Around 1500kms and a litre of oil surely cannot disappear to thin air. Apologies for the wall of text, not sure if any of the above is useful for best guesses/things to check next.
