Taken by Matt last week at the Legends dinner. :cheers:

When the sun gets so low that a pinkish hue is emitted over everything, the 'softened white' of your car draws you in doesn't it?

The timing has to be perfect!

2 minutes later and it's gone!

My newish 33 :)

HOLY CRAP! I was set to buy this exact car a couple of years ago, booked flight from Hobart to Melbourne to go and inspect it, and the guy sold it the night before I was coming over! I ended up with something almost identical anyway...

Series 1 interior yeah?

Semi-as promised: Car didn't leave the garage, but I did take a few quick snaps: This thing is quite dark in the shade but is VERY vibrant in the sun. Minus the peeling clear coat near the boot, unfortunately.

yup, those are buddyclub P1's, seen a few other 33's with those shoes on too.

not sexy deep dish things but light enough for the track, yeah the plates have got me pulled over a few times but no defects so far...knock on wood!

Lol. It is now a work in progress again. All in the name of getting more tyre.

From Viva Garage. Ive heard mixed opinions so I bought expecting to modify fairly heavily but you know what. It is actually going together quite well. Cut about 1 cm of a hidden part of fibreglass off to clear the headlight, Thats about all and its gonna fit like a glove with minimal gaps. May need a very minor trim to clear the door. But its very close.

Only question being with the rears. Do I leave it with just the lower portion widened. Or do I pack it right out and completely round off the rear quarters. My mind is halfway between both options.

It's looking very nice Luke!

For the traditional look you know the answer.

For an individual look it's the other answer.

And I don't think it would detract from the value of the car should you sell it further down the track - especially with a good choice of wheel.

As for me?

I don't mind either way.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
