.....funny as heck when my mate test drove it.. the looks from people at the lights as it 'lumped' its stupid butt off! He never bought it! But he really thought about it!

wrong....no one but me ever drove that car.

It no longer exists, the engine is now in a commonwhore.

Cheers

WRONG! the car i'm talking about was about 8 years ago! Blue 253 holden, quadrajet, 2.5 inch exhaust and a half cage, and it was all engineered approved. had (if i can remeber right..)a toyota 4 speed behind it! It went very well.. but he just couldn't bring himself to owning a poo coloured datto! I remember it well because he hit me up for a loan to help buy it.. I was all for it.

I never said i was talking about the same car..

not as bad as 180's and silvia's.

i welcome making skylines the new commodore. means more research and development will go into their products. further increasing their market share and as a result... decreasing prices...

=economies of scale :D

doesnt an s15 say silvia on the dash?? even the aus spec ones? Just trying to remember from my bosses car

Yes on the passengers side...

says silvia on the headlights too

And also on the side steps as you enter the car the word "SILVIA" is etched in stainless... :P

The standard gear stick knob also has the silvia's "S" on it...

Who really gives a crap about silvia's anyhow?

speaking of them.. If I owned one, I would put another engine in it! Just to piss ALL those SR freaks off! something like.. umm.. probably a toyota engine!

Of all the car brands that i have seen modified by their owners, the old silvia has to be the most modified, but buy far the poorest!

Really big turbo's that don't make boost until 5500.. or later, those stupid little BOV's that don't flow air (they just make a horrid noise) and exhausts that sound like a bumble bee has farted in a storm water drain.. and then there is the suspension!

When you are finished playing with your toys.. come play with the big boys!

      Anyone know what this front bar is for series 1 R33??

      By Rezz · Posted

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅

      High pedals r32

      By Rezz · Posted

      Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....

      Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.

      Also, there's always room for 4 or 5 3/8" drive wobble extensions of various lengths so you can operate the ratchet from a better location.
