As patrick suggested id be interested in a magazine shoot with the 32 and the 260rs.

Still running the 260 in, few more kms to do then i should be rolling around 320awkw. Engine bay has been cleaned up a bit aswell so looks good in pics.

Have to agree with everyone here regarding the HPI thing - high perfomance imports, wouldnt dare for the life of me even consider mine lol, mines rice but i dont care.

I agree with what others have said, this offer is for cars that have show and go .. agree that grims 2 cars would be perfect! Or 'whathisnames'. Both good examples..

Stop fighting over it tho guys :S

^Martin, what about your car? You've definately got what it takes I believe, looks power etc? Send him some pics :O

Maybe even a dual feature with Hostile and Snyper?

Martin:

Personally, I wouldnt say your paint isn't show worthy. I would say its a beutiful street driven car. In photo's in the magazine it would still look amazing (like above) and you have plenty of interesting information with the current setup as well. Im sure Snyper is the same, so just put it in! :rofl:

i didnt see any flaws in that paint job, even if there were they could hit it like they do with the models.

bit of airbrushing here and there and she's good as new :rofl: something like my datos rusty paint job may take a lil more work though

G'day all,

Thanks for the 'votes' for my car. I wouldn't say my car is a typical Autosalon car but I guess it has a few of the major areas covered.

Andrew (nuttsHunglow),

I've never had my car in a full feature in a national publication. If you, and more importantly your editors think that my R33 is of the required standard (and is what you're looking for) I would be honoured to have it in a magazine.

Cheers,

Matt

Thanks, guys.

I'm not actually sure, Steve. They were on the car when I bought it back in '98 or '99 - whenever it was. Volk Rays is all I know. I'd like to get 18s or 19s but I'm not ready to give up too much sidewall until I've achieved all I can on the drag strip.

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
