Hello Sau

[slayer_r33]

Hi all. I'm pretty new to these forums and don't think I have posted yet. So I wanted to say hello and introduce myself. Username is [ slayer ] on any forum i'm on incase people here frequent other sites.

I'm the owner of a black series 2 r33 gtst. I've owned it since November last year, and it was stock except for rear strut brace and cd player.

My first 2 cars were s12's which I sold following the purchase of my 3rd car, my 1988 Honda CRX. I love the CRX but unfortunately was written off last year after an incident with a wombat on the road, and about 3 weeks later I got my Skyline.

So far I have made a custom parcel shelf, and installed 2 way speakers in it, a 4 channel amp in the boot on a custom made panel which covers the battery. Have a 12" sub running off the amp and i'll soon be installing front splits also to run off the amp. I've also installed a turbo timer.

Finding it hard to locate trusted suppliers and workshops etc as all my car enthusiast days have been with the CRX so I feel like a fish out of water and hence waited a while to post on here.

Overall intention is to get the car suitable for track work, but also can't deny I enjoy making the car look a bit different to stock.

Would love to know peoples opinions on my current plans for a Final Konnexion bodykit, Racing Hart CX rims (17" i think), and a flush sitting boot without spoiler.

hello , slayer are cool

[leech_]

welcome aboard if you are going a kit i would suggest 18" rims 17"s look fairly small.

ready for track.... Step one. Remove stereo...

oh yeah, the boot would be stripped on track days, but it is a street car first and foremost so i want sound for daily use...

[race_snooze]

lol I was only joking around any ways. Welcome to the forum mate.

Hey welcome Slayer,

just curious how much damage did the wombat do?

I've heard of urban myths that if you ran over a wombat they are so tough that axels can snap, rip off wheels etc. just thought it would be interesting to know the truth.

cheers

welcome..

Final Konnexion kit hey??

im the only one around here..

with the wheels.. definatly 18-19" other wise the they will look to small for that kit

[leech_]

i wonder if someone has a copy of the pics aurua took when he nailed a wombat. From what i remember broken front bar, bent intercooler piping, can't rember if that was it or if it also did something to one of his wheels and shock absorber ???

Semi-slicks hey ... what can you do?

Also, I hit a wombat a couple of months ago in my Falcon ute. Hit it on the left side. It destroyed the front bumper bar and I needed a wheel alignment but that was it. I reckon I got off light.

This is the FK kit. I've been drooling over it since last year but can't afford to do anything much with my car atm, let alone kit it ;-;

Wow, that looked pretty serious, but I suppose they are sturdy little critters. how much was it to fix?

but not as bad as I thought as in, wheels detached from cars etc.

[leech_]

Not sure luckily was not my car but as i mentioned i think he needed a new front bar and intercooler

Semi-slicks hey ... what can you do?

I can hook you up with the Federal 595RS. i've only just recently taken them off my car (not by choice... ), and i wish i had another set. they're awesome... come out to the museum on friday and give you more details...
