Hello all,

I recently became a proud skyline owner and just wanted to say thank you to all the people who input into this site. The information on what to look for when buying, fuel economy etc. was a goldmine for me. Without all your posts i probably would have ended up with a lemon.

Cheers all!

ps i ended up with a 95 r33 gtst manny for $11,200...might post some pics at a later stage

Im no photographer but I took a few quick snaps today. The sun was nice enough to come out for some nice lighting. The cars done 155,000 km and has hardly any mods, just a new pod filter and a front mount intercooler aswell as an Apexi AVR-R boost controller. I have to put the intercooler back on as it didnt pass roadworthy so the stock is on atm. EDIT : Oh its also got some nice 18" rims, side skits and an after market front bar.

Looks nice and clean. Definately a good buy. :huh: Just so you know, that isn't an aftermarket front bar. Its actually the series 1.5 front bar. That being because your R33 is a series 1.5 :) The side skirts are 400R ones... like mine :)

Yep, thats not a bad price. Don't forget you have to get it painted and fitted as well which will cost a bit more on top of that. If I were you, I'd do some investigation on different places to get the front bar and also what its made of. Do a bit of reading into fibre glass as well as frp. frp is more expensive, but doesn't crack as easily. If you get fibre glass, know what quality differences there are... in particular, the amount of layers. Less layers means weaker body part. ;)

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
